Apparently, only Tanya and I and a select few others were interested in seeing The Switch this past weekend.  Jen Aniston’s latest box office bomb only brought in $8.1 million.  While that is a lot of money to you and I, take into consideration that is probably only a fraction of what they paid each star to be in it.

Placing 8th, this movie was behind The Expendables (#1), Vampires Suck (#2), Eat Prey Love (3), Lottery Ticket (#4), The Other Guys (#5), Piranha 3D (#6), and The Return of Nanny McPhee (#7).

When I saw that it came in #8, I actually felt embarrased for Jen Aniston.  So much so that I needed to email Tanya to tell her:

Stacey:  Did you see how poorly The Switch did at the theatres. Ick.  I actually cringed and groaned.  Poor Jen.

Tanya: I DID!! It got beat by Piranha 3D! How terrible is that? AND I think it even looks like a decent movie.

Stacey: As much as Lainey says it and it makes me roll my eyes…good taste is dead.

Tanya: But on the other side, the Switch is the same as like a million other movies out there.

Stacey:  That’s true.  I guess I just figured it is better than Piranha 3D.  But anything 3D right now is a money maker.  Maybe if they would have done The Switch 3D it would have made some money.

Tanya: I think Piranha 3D is a bunch of hot chicks in bikinis motorboating each other and then some 3d piranha attacks which might not fall under “good taste” but does fall under “awesome”.

Touche, Tanya, touche.  And as we have proven before, chicks motorboating each other is awesome.

I am going to go see this movie.  In fact, I am going to take my mom to see it because I think it actually looks really good.  Jason Bateman, Jen Aniston, Juliette Lewis, Patrick Wilson (yummy, BTW) and Jeff Goldblum, plus it is done by the same people who did Juno and Little Miss Sunshine…how could it not be awesome?  I saw the preview this weekend when I went to see Dinner for Schmucks and even my hubby admitted it looks “not bad” which is translation for “I wouldn’t hate seeing it”, which I consider to to be pretty good.

Here are some pics from the premier last night.  I am not even sure if Jon Heder is even in the movie but I thought I would include his picture because I totally love him.

Tanya: I totally want to see this movie. It looks super cute. Jason Bateman is awesome and that kid looks like he’s going to be pretty funny too.
