Movie Review: ‘Bad Words’ Starring Jason Bateman, Rohan Chand, Kathryn Hahn

Posted: August 5, 2011 at 5:30 am   /   Featured, Local, Movie Reviews

Imagine if you will, Freaky Friday meets Superbad – the result being an amalgamation of body-swapping hi-jinks and foul language. But then imagine that neither of those movies were any good. That’s what The Change-Up feels like. The film is the result of poor writing and forced profanity in order to get laughs. Unfortunately even with […]
