Aug 3, 2011 · Jon Lucas. Scott Moore. "The Change-Up" is one of the dirtiest-minded mainstream releases in history. It has a low opinion of men, a lower opinion of women, and the lowest opinion of the intelligence of its audience. It is obscene, foulmouthed, scatological, creepy and perverted.

- The Change-Up had actually been in development for years, going through a number of rewrites with different directors attached. The script was originally pitched as the sequel to the Arnold Schwarzenegger/Danny Devito comedy Twins but it was put in turnaround when Arnie ascended to the governor’s mansion.
- Once the film finally landed Dobkin as its director, it was envisioned as a film meant to reunite Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson after the success of The Wedding Crashers.
- The film finally began to come together once Jason Bateman came aboard. Will Smith (his Hancock co-star) was originally asked to co-star, but he declined noting that he preferred to be the sole leading man in his movies.
- Casting the female leads was next. In an ironic twist, Olivia Wilde auditioned for the role of Jason Bateman’s wife, while Leslie Mann auditioned for Ryan Reynolds’ love interest, and they were ultimately cast in each others’ part.
Mitch (Ryan Reynolds) and Dave (Jason Bateman) grew up together and were inseparable best friends, but as the years have passed they've drifted apart. While Dave is an overworked lawyer, husband, and father of three, Mitch has remained a single, quasi-employed man-child who has never met a responsibility he liked.
