"You Think YOU'VE Got It Bad"
Mid-to-late 30s consultant bored with life and frustrated by the demands of his high-stress job and repeated problems with home repair wishes for a change. Meanwhile across the country, his friend, a mid-to-late 30s screenwriter, is living with his folks and frustrated that he hasn't sold a script. He also wishes for a change. At the exact same time. Which was July 8, 2009, at 12:34:56am. And magic happens. They switch places. You know how the rest goes.
Ideally, I am thinking perhaps Jason Bateman and Robert Downey Jr . Although I could totally dig a Steve Zahn & Sam Rockwell reunion (yes, another one). For the mother, how about Shirley Knight, since Debbie Reynolds is taken.

I assume you meant to say..."You think YOU'VE got it bad"
Thank you for posting these. And just to show how true-to-life this story really is, I will now have a better day than I was going to have all because you posted a movie for sale. Top that one.
I am such a sucker for identity-switcheroos, and I would absolutely LOOOOVE to see those two characters change places.
tagline corrected, thanks Jon.
I feel we should open this discussion up to other casting ideas.
Seth Rogan and David Hyde Pierce?
DAAHAHA. I say no, but funny.
How about you? Maybe we take Jon's remark from the other list and go with Tina Fey.
I would go with Campbell Scott (you) and Chris Farley's brother (me).
