Underrated Ryan Reynolds comedy climbs Netflix chart

Ryan Reynolds has changed up the order of the Netflix top 10 chart, with one of his more underrated comedies climbing the streamer’s ranking.

Deadpoolmay define Reynolds’ acting legacy, but there’s more to the actor than the Merc with a Mouth. His first big success in Hollywood was National Lampoon’s Van Wilder, which paved the way for a bonkers mixture of roles in the likes of Blade: Trinity, The Amityville Horror remake, Waiting, and Smokin’ Aces.

He queued up some PG-13 rom-coms with Definitely Maybe and The Proposal, before starring in the harrowing Buried and perhaps his biggest, most infamous flop in 2011: The Green Lantern, once envisaged as the launchpad for the imminently-endingDCEU.

However, in that same year, he starred alongside Jason Bateman in a comedy that was ripped apart by critics – and it’s on theNetflixchart’s podium right now.

Ryan Reynolds’ The Change-Up climbs Netflix chart

The Change-Up, starring Reynolds and Bateman as two best friends who switch bodies, is number three on Netflix’s top 10 movies ranking now. You can check out the rest of the chart and the trailer below:

Reynolds plays Mitch, a slacker and bachelor who’s best friends with his polar opposite adulthood: Dave (Bateman), a father-of-three in a stagnant marriage. One night, they get drunk and pee into a fountain while wishing they had each other’s lives – and the next day, they wake up in one another’s bodies.

It wasn’t exactly a box office success, grossing $75.5 million against a $52 million budget. Rotten Tomatoes would also have you believe it’s worth missing, with a critic score of 26% and a measly 47% audience rating. Yet, it’s proven to be one of the week’s most-watched movies on Netflix.
