Top Ten List
Body-switch comedies
In the discussion (9)
Approx. transcript time · 00:07:24Read transcript
- The ranking covers only comedies, excluding horror and science-fiction versions such as Face/Off, Freaky (called actually really liked), Nine Lives with Kevin Spacey trapped in a cat, and The Cobbler with Adam Sandler. — Bill Simmons
- The list builds from one out of ten, The Hot Chick with Rob Schneider and Rachel McAdams, joking she should make a Notebook sequel to buy up all copies. — Bill Simmons
- Two out of ten is Dream a Little Dream with the Corys, a rare four-person switch that somehow got a sequel. — Bill Simmons
- Three out of ten groups the father-son versions: 17 Again, Like Father Like Son with Kirk Cameron and Dudley Moore, and Vice Versa with Judge Reinhold and Fred Savage, the best of the three. — Bill Simmons
- Four out of ten is The Change-Up with Ryan Reynolds and Jason Bateman, not a very good movie. — Bill Simmons
- Five out of ten is Prelude to a Kiss with Meg Ryan and Alec Baldwin, called the Juliet stratosphere. — Bill Simmons
- Asked for thoughts, the reply places it in the latter days of Meg Ryan's arc, a film that felt like a favor but was enjoyable; it made the playoffs but is not a round-two movie. — Juliet Litman
- Six out of ten is All of Me with Steve Martin and Lily Tomlin; seven is the 2003 Freaky Friday with Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis, called rock solid, with a tangent on Lohan's Parent Trap to Mean Girls run. — Bill Simmons
- Eight is 13 Going on 30, nine Being John Malkovich as the highbrow version, and ten Big, called the best one ever and the icon everything else derives from. — Bill Simmons
Picking Nits
Age-inappropriate TV; delivery man’s illiteracy; absent father; changed attitude toward child; unaffordable lifestyle

- The five-year-old watches programs aimed at substantially younger children. — Bill Simmons
- Rob Schneider’s character’s inability to read is questioned as a comic premise. — Bill Simmons
- Stewart’s character remains in China after learning a child has been left at his home. — Bill Simmons
- Leslie Mann’s character’s eventual acceptance of the child seems inconsistent with her earlier opposition. — Bill Simmons
- A $200,000 settlement and minimal tollbooth work cannot plausibly sustain Sonny’s New York apartment and lifestyle. — Joe House

- Leslie Mann is the agreed final choice for a strong impact in few scenes. — Bill Simmons
- Mr. Herlihy is a strong alternative. — Bill Simmons
- Rob Schneider is suggested but rejected as too familiar a performance, with the accent and characterization criticized. — Bill Simmons
Reverse Dion Waiters Award for the Guy Who Does the Least With the Most, a.k.a. the Jimmy Butler Award
Bo Schembechler
The panel proposes a new category here.

Approx. transcript time · 01:30:27Read transcript
- A new reverse Dion Waiters Award for the worst heat check goes to Bo Schembechler, on autopilot in the booth without a pulse. — Bill Simmons
- They likely had little time with him; unlike the fun booth work of Rob Schneider in Necessary Roughness and Bob Euker in Major League, the Schembechler scenes could have been cut, and the boosters crowding one window to watch the game is also called weird.
