Editor’s Note: The Exchange (2021) offers an engaging take on the comedy genre without feeling clichéd. Directed by Dan Mazer, the film maintains a sharp narrative that prioritizes character development over superficial traits. Standout performances from Ed Oxenbould, Avan Jogia, and Justin Hartley lend real emotional weight to the story. At 1 hour and 33 minutes, the pacing is well-measured, with scenes that rarely drag. Reception has been varied, so it’s best approached with an open mind. If the story resonates with you, consider giving it a watch.
