Simon Abrams RogerEbert.com The subject certainly isn't dated, but the film's dull post-John Hughes, sub-Judd Apatow style of comedy is like a just-buried time capsule full of accumulated clichs. Rated: 1/4 Feb 14, 2014 Full Review Gary Goldstein Los Angeles Times A largely enjoyable and credible coming-of-age romp, despite some forced broadness and uneven pacing. Feb 13, 2014 Full Review Jeannette Catsoulis New York Times Like a fresh ripple in the near-stagnant high school movie pool, Chris Nelson's "Date and Switch" balances formula with winning performers, genuine humor and a generosity of spirit that this genre too often lacks. Feb 13, 2014 Full Review Paul Chambers Movie Chambers "Date and Switch" should have had something new to say about high school friendships. It doesn't. Rated: C May 21, 2014 Full Review Brian Orndorf Blu-ray.com In place of authentic emotion and searing personal communication, there's cliche and passivity, plasticizing the kindly nature of the picture to a point where all the tension begins to resemble a bad sitcom. Rated: C- Feb 21, 2014 Full Review Andrew Lapin The Dissolve Date And Switch is a plucky step in the right direction for diversity in teen comedies, but it lacks the extra oomph to stand on its own merits. Rated: 2.5/5 Feb 20, 2014 Full Review Read all reviews

Pieter Lovely teenage (although the actors are mid twenties) movie with lots of good jokes Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/04/22 Full Review javier s Una estupidez de película, llena de clichés sobre actuados, homofóbica y sexista a más no poder ¿Pretendía que? ¿Mostrarnos las relaciones adolescentes y la empatía? Vamos, ni un beso gay, pero un beso entre chicas y un beso de tres que más que erótico resulta raro y fuera de contexto, una de las peores películas que he visto. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member A terrific movie about how it feels when a straight guy becomes friends with a gay guy Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Muito escondido até existia um potencial para esse filme, mas a execução deixa muito a desejar. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Friend with a gay dude! The title name was good. The story looked interesting as well, but only a basic platform. Despite 90 minute film, there were empty in the middle of the narration. Or you can call it a drag. It started off quite good, revealing about two childhood friends growing together towards the end of the high school. Then suddenly everything changes between them when one of them declares to another that he's a gay. Following that, all the pros and cons of how their future relationship would be were told. Family too has some part, but it was focused from a friend's perspect how unexpectedly the things would change in such situation. There was some fun, though not that great. Actors were nice, and so the direction, even though the script was taken out from the blacklist. I think averagely worked out. With usual teenage film cliches, still enjoyable one. Maybe by the youngsters. For the rest, it is good to watch as a timepass flick, otherwise not worth it. 5/10 Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Temas que se deben tomar en serio pero no tan enserio como en esta película. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Read all reviews
