Best buddies Mitch Planko and Dave Lockwood live very different lives. Dave (Jason Bateman) is contently married, balancing a subdued love life with odorous offspring and a sizeable mortgage. Mitch (Ryan Reynolds) couldn't be more different. He's a wild singleton on a one-man mission to sleep his way through the phonebook, living in a bachelor pad and enjoying a supreme lack of responsibility.
Both yearn for more and after a couple of beers and a heart-to-heart they discover that while Dave is desperate for a chance to lose responsibility, Mitch wants to sample the family life. Accidently triggering off a magical sequence of events, they are horrified to wake one morning with their wishes come true.

Another amusing addition to the filmographies of a cheerfully enjoyable cast, this is easy viewing that will at least leave a smile on your face.
