I really enjoyted this one.
The in-jokes worked really well.
The stance on parenting and having a new born was very cool and very different to what the media wants us to believe right now cause it sells ad revenue.
It was a joy to see a back to basics gilm that was entertaining and funny.
Worth watching. Best comedy movie of the year I would say.

Went in with no expectations and came away happy and content.
Not At All What I Expected, But Everything I Wanted and More
Listen. I'm not one to enjoy romance, or comedies. It's probably in my personal life, I've lacked these elements for the most part.
I'm generally the type of guy you would find on a Wednesday evening enjoying the inextricable combination of French onion dip with Lay's Wavy Chips combined with the latest season of Attack of Titan.
But then one day, I stumbled across this random gem of a film:
Swap Me, Baby.
The titles was evocative, and I couldn't quite make sense of the cover art, as it perplexed me, and caused me to want to explore it deeper.
Thus, I dropped the rental funds necessary to investigate, and I was not disappointed.
No, far from it.
As alluded to before, I'm a big fan of anime, especially those of the science fiction type. Swap Me, Baby might be a romantic comedy at its core, but it has some great science fiction elements that sunk its hooks into me from the get-go.
Not only that - but the charismatic leads do so much to elevate the relatively well-known promise of body swapping, and turn it on its head. In fact, I'd say it does a full summersault in superseding expectations, all the while gripping the viewer (me) with interest as I laughed my butt off at the smart script and ridiculously delicious narrative.
It's not every day that I give a film an 11/10, but here we are.
Ridiculously hilarious body swap comedy, with a twist
This movie feels like it's going to be an instant cult classic. A unique twist on the body swap movie Concept. I think it's a brilliant mix of edgy humor and well developed storyline. It's relatively simple at its core; there are only four actors in the film. But the dynamic chemistry between them especially the two leads; makes this film feel epic in scope.
It takes you on a few twists and turns and flips the body swap genre Kinda on its head. The filmmakers have fun with the concept and it's not at all predictable or cliché. The film even finds Itself surprisingly heartwarming without losing its edge.
The brilliance of this film is that it takes what you know about body swap films and almost uses that against you in a brilliant way it's very clever and I felt like the movie was two steps ahead of me.
The editing and pacing are perfect it looks and sounds great the score is well done and also hilarious. (no spoilers) very well cast, directed And edited.
I highly recommend it.
