The Switch (2010 film)

The Switch is a 2010 American romantic comedy film, directed by Josh Gordon and Will Speck. Based on a screenplay written by Allan Loeb, the film, formerly titled The Baster, was inspired by the short story Baster by Jeffrey Eugenides, originally published in The New Yorker in 1996. The film stars Jennifer Aniston, Jason Bateman, and child actor Thomas Robinson. Patrick Wilson, Juliette Lewis, and Jeff Goldblum appear in key supporting roles.

Thirtysomething Kassie Larson Aniston is single, hasnt found love yet, and decides she wants to have a baby. Despite the objections of her neurotic longtime best friend Wally Mars Bateman, she chooses to do so alone because she cant wait any longer. She also wants a facetoface sperm donor, disdaining using a sperm bank. Wally suggests he be the donor, but Kassie sees him as a bit too neurotic, pessimistic, and selfabsorbed, and besides, as best friends, that would be weird. Wally has always had feelings for Kassie, and they dated six years ago, but his friend Leonard Goldblum points out he missed his chance when she put him in the friend zone.Kassie selects as sperm donor a handsome and charming and married assistant professor, Roland Wilson. Kassie organizes an insemination party, where Wally meets Roland and takes an instant dislike to him. Roland is then called upon and produces his sperm in the bathroom, leaving it in a sample cup. Wally uses the bathroom and sees the sample. Drunk and doped up after taking a pill provided him at the party by Kassies friend, Debbie Lewis, and not liking the idea of Kassie being inseminated with this sperm, Wally plays with the cup and accidentally spills it into the sink. Panicking, he replaces the sperm with his own. The next day at work, still hungover, he remembers nothing. The insemination is successful. Wally is then upset when Kassie tells him she is returning to her family home in Minnesota, as she thinks that would be a better environment to raise a child in, instead of New York City. She leaves, and Wally maintains a nonfulfilling, dreary existence. ........
