6/10
Surprisingly decent

Despite the bashing this movie has gotten, it's actually a funny and entertaining comedy. It depends way too much on crude and messed up humor and has sub-plots that doesn't really have much to do with the core of the story. But it didn't get irritating to watch. The story is basically about two guys who are good friends switching bodies but their mind is intact in different bodies. One is a irresponsible light porn actor that has freedom to do whatever he wants but didn't really achieve much in his life. The other is a family man that has a lot of responsibilities and doesn't have much time to even breath, but has a lot of achievements. But is constantly looking over the fence because he isn't satisfied. And the two characters switch bodies after they pee in a magic fountain. Although the humor is crude it's actually quite funny sometimes. And what both of the characters that switched bodies go through is done well, from each other screwing up each others life to getting it back together. I had very low expectations for this flick but it turned out to be a decent adult comedy.

6.5/10
