Seven years after the birth of his son, Wally Mars decides it’s finally time to reveal that he is the father to his best friend’s child…but will she believe him? The Switch is a heart-warming comedy fronted by an exceptional cast, including Jennifer Aniston and Jason Bateman.

Kassie (Jennifer Aniston) is a smart, fun-loving single woman who, despite her slightly neurotic best friend Wally’s (Jason Bateman) objections, decides it’s time to have a baby-even if it means doing it by herself…

With a little help from a charming sperm donor (Patrick Wilson), Kassie conceives and make a new life for her instant family away from the hubbub of the city. But unbeknownst to her, Wally had drunkenly switched the donation with his own ‘special offering’… Seven years later when Kassie moves back to town, Wally finally gets acquainted with Sebastian, her precocious and somewhat neurotic – not to mention hypochondriac – son. Things start seeming a little too familiar and Wally starts filling the blanks from that drunken night… Could it be… ?
