Box Office Features Grown-Up Comedy

New at theaters this week is a comedy reinforcing the idea that the grass isn't necessarily greener on the other side.

The Change-Up, according to moviefone.com, is about two best friends, Mitch (Ryan Reynolds) and Dave (Jason Bateman), who once were inseparable, but as the years have passed, they've slowly drifted apart.

Here's the rest of the plot from moviefone.com:

While Dave is an overworked lawyer, husband and father of three, Mitch has remained a single, quasi-employed man-child who has never met a responsibility he liked. To Mitch, Dave has it all: a beautiful wife, Jamie (Leslie Mann), kids who adore him and a high-paying job at a prestigious law firm. To Dave, living Mitch's stress-free life without obligation or consequence would be a dream come true.

After a drunken night out together, Mitch and Dave's worlds are turned upside down when they wake up in each other's bodies and proceed to freak the &*#@ out.
