1/4
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. Go to Full Review
Gary Goldstein Los Angeles Times 02/13/2014
A largely enjoyable and credible coming-of-age romp, despite some forced broadness and uneven pacing. Go to Full Review
Jeannette Catsoulis New York Times 02/13/2014
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. Go to Full Review

"Date and Switch" should have had something new to say about high school friendships. It doesn't. Go to Full Review

C-
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. Go to Full Review

2.5/5
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. Go to Full Review

thiago s @Thiagostone Sep 2 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more Stephen C @bob25009 Jun 30 Funny and romantic pride in 1 hour and 31 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated R for Drug and Alcohol Use, Crude Dialogue - All Involving Teens, Pervasive Language and Strong Sexual Content!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Starring Dakota Johnson!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See more 05/08/2019 A terrific movie about how it feels when a straight guy becomes friends with a gay guy See more 03/06/2018 Muito escondido até existia um potencial para esse filme, mas a execução deixa muito a desejar. See more 02/04/2018 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 See more 03/20/2017 Temas que se deben tomar en serio pero no tan enserio como en esta película.
