For this week’s Blu-ray Monday we are giving away a copy of hilarious romantic comedy ‘The Switch’.
The ticking of her biological clock prompts Kassie (Jennifer Aniston) to conclude she doesn’t need a man to have a baby, simply a sperm donation. At an ‘Insemination Party’ thrown by her friends, best pal Wally (Jason Bateman) accidentally tips her sample down the sink, forcing him to make a switch with his own. After seven years apart, the pair meet up with Kassie’s son, Sebastian (Thomas Robinson) leaving Wally with one daunting decision.
As usual with Blu-ray Monday, you have two chances to win. For your first entry, simply retweet the following post on Twitter: Tweet this
Then for a second entry, leave a comment on this post to the following question:
The Switch features up-and-coming child star Thomas Robinson, who steals many of the film’s best one-liners from his adult counterparts. Over the decades, performances from the likes of River Phoenix, Macualay Culkin, Dakota Fanning, and Drew Barrymore show that kids are more than capable of competing with the adult acting world. If you had to name your favourite child actor who would it be and why?
To make it easier for us to contact you, leave your Twitter details with your comment. We look forward to your suggestions!
My favourite child star is Jodie Foster. When I was younger I used to love her in Candleshoe, Freaky Friday and Bugsy Malone and then when I grew up I discovered her outstanding child performances in Taxi Driver and The Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane. She’s still my favourite actress.
@nomibcf
My favourite was Jonathan Lipnicki, especially when he was in Jerry Maguire! So cute! x
Either Corey Haim or Corey Feldman as Licence to Drive was one of my favourite films as a teenager, and I could never tell which one was which! Bit like Ant & Dec 🙂
@needaphone will Jennifer every do a serious film would be good to see so
My favorite is Ron Howard. Loved watching him as Opie and then as Richie.

My favorite child actor has to be Jerry Mathers from Leave it to Beaver! So many great TV shows back then! @Dutchbrosluv ♥
Macualay Culkin, @Kelley2009
I never get tired of Macualay Culkin in Home Alone & Home Alon2. the movies will br timeless for children and adults alike. He is my 1st pick.
I think Freddie Highmore has done some really good performances in Charlie & the Chocolate Factory & Finding Neverland.

I would say my favourite is DAKOTA FANNING. lots of great performances but my favourite is when she played Cherie Curie in The Runnaways.
Jodie Foster is my favorite. She had a great career as a child actor and has had starred in excellent films like Silence of the Lamb.
Will Smith when he was in The Freshprince of Bel Air! I am a child of the 80’s x
Tweeted as @Bobbity666
Macualay Culkin because his performanaces in Home Alone & Home Alon2 were outstanding! Films I can watch over and over again which tells a story! Also loved his performance in My Girl!
It would have to be Jaden Smith at the moment I think he is so cute and I loved him in Karate kid I thought it even gave the first one a run for its money
xxxx nat @nuttynel on twitter xxx
That little kid with the glasses who was in Jerry Maguire. Don’t know who he was but he was soooo cute!
@LindyHine
My favourite has to be child actress Mara Wilson – I used to love Matilda as a child, and watched it all the time!
A great wee actress, funny at times, and even a bit annoying at times…lol, but loved her all the same. 🙂
@luckyduckyme
Haley Joel Osment, I though he was fantastic in The Sixth Sense
I like Freddie Highmore, he is really quirky and adapts to his roles really well, I think he has a great future in acting.
@onions1
i love Christina Ricci ,she was a great child hood actress in the movies the Adam Family
fowllowing and retweeting to @emmajane30
I really think Dakota Fanning did a great job not being just a cutesy kid. She had some good roles.
@MissingLynxx
ty
It has to be Keshia Knight Pulliam ( Rudy Huxtable in the Cosby Show ) – just such a cute kid!

Definately Jodie Foster. A very talented lady!
McCaulay Culkin – Home Alone one of the best films ever

Hi I am @bluekit15 on twitter. The child actor I would choose is Christian Bale for his role as Jim in Emmpire of the Sun – Brilliant then – Brilliant now! Born to act
Kelly
oops forgot my twitter info @pelletposy thanks.
This is way before my time but Shirley Temple was an exceptional child actor.
Drew is my favorite!! She has over come addiction a childhood filled with drugs etc and has over come. She was a great actress as a child and is an even better adult actress. I also love her personality
Macaulay Culkin – definitely a gorgeous, endearing child actor but not so sure that has stayed with him now he’s grown up!
twitter details: cfryer999
Drew Barrymore – loved her in ET & then every movie ever since.. so glad she got herself cleaned up when she started to run into trouble.. @sajak551
Love Ron Howard, love watching him in The Andy Griffin show, Happy Days and now a awesome director!
Probably Dakota Fanning. She is a great actor!
Macualay Culkin in “Home Alone ,a true classic.Its on every year at the holidays and no matter how many times you watch it,it never gets old!! 🙂 Cassie B.
Definately Drew Barrymore! she’s as innocent now as she was in ET. Drew is an excellent role model. @chalene8
Macualay Culkin! He was awesome in Home Alone and Richie Rich!
Ron Howard. Adorable as a child actor, brilliant and so grounded as an adult
I loved Shia LeBouf…he had amazing talent even as a young man, especially in the Disney movie Tru Confessions!
@Breaduh
Macualay Culkin in “Home Alone” was pretty dang memorable to me, thus he’s my favorite child actor on your list.
@janettwokay
I’ll go with River Phoenix just because it sounds cool.
@Chronorayven
I would have to say Hailee Steinfeld from True Grit.
http://twitter.com/#!/slugbug55/status/24902918272458753
I would have to pick Drew Barrymore. She is the all time best ever. She is such a good actress.
Drew Barrymore is my favourite because she was such an adorable child I still love her.
@CALLBR549
I think Jaden Smith is a great kid actor–think he has a good future ahead.
@Flbeachbumz
I have not seen this movie in cinema but would love to watch Jason Bateman
I really liked robin williams as a kid. still do 🙂
Twitter – kiki_725
I am going back many years to say Ron Howard (Opie) was my favorite child actor because he was one of the child actors that did not go “crazy” as he grew up.
Kami Cotler from the Walton’s. She was so young and did a good job of acting. She was so real.
Abagail Breselin she is just so talented and so cute! Her movies have all been quality films too. @dad1111 on twitter
Dakota Fanning, she was brilliant in War of the Worlds.
Chloe Grace Moretz is definitely te best rising kid star. After Kick-Ass and 500 Days of Summer she has shown herself to be an amazing actress. I love her!
I agree with Kelly above – Drew Barrymore – she has improved with age! @dianetowin on twitter – Retweeted
Jerry O’Connell — Stand By Me, My Secret Identity, Sliders, Crossing Jordan, Pirhana 3-D. He’s been in some good and not so good projects, but he’s shown that he has a good range.
@bwm1138
I always loved watching the Shirley Temple movies, she was sweet and innocent with just a touch of mischief!
thanks

@sleatham1
My favorite child star would have to be Drew Barrymore. She has lasted through the years. Awesome. @kellyrelal691

Macualay Culkin was such a great child actor..Home Alone & Home Alone 2 are such great clasics!! I watched these when I was a kid and now my daughter watches these now and are a favorite of hers too!! Following and tweeting as @alongcamemary1..ty for the chance to win !! Jen Anniston is a fav of mine and I really wanted to see this movie “Switch” how great would it be to win it!! Mary ( o :
Dakota Fanning because she made some very good movies as a child and continues to get good roles as she’s gotten older.
Cliche perhaps, but it’s gotta be Macaulay Carson Culkin. Grew up with him and his films, and I really shouldn’t make it known, but my fav MC film isn’t Home Alone but Getting Even With Dad. Oh geez, it’s now known on the internet!!
Following as @shapala84
It would have to be Karen Dotrice, who played Jane Banks in Mary Poppins and who had me in tears in The Three Lives of Thomasina. We are almost the same age and she takes me right back to those magical childhood days when anything was possible.
@Sunnygirl1204 Definitely My favorite Is Dakota Fanning 🙂
Drew Barrymore in ET. Aww!! x
sorry forgot to put my Twitter
@RuthMarianna
I loved Alisan Porter in Curly Sue as she really stole the show.
I was always a huge River Phoenix fan, but I’d never really say he felt like a “child” actor.
@Slappy2001
It would be Corey Feldman he was just so different and smooth when he was younger acting with adults. The role that he did in The Burbs is by far my favorite. He will be in my town this week signing autographs I’m looking forward to meeting him.
Chloe Moretz is only 12 but has already been great in (500) DAYS OF SUMMER, KICK-ASS and LET ME IN!
My favorite child actor goes to Haley Joel Osment. He has made a lot of memorable films from AI, Pay it Forward, and Forest Gump. But there is no other child actor I can think of that starred in a captivating and remarkable movie as The Sixth Sense. He played a creepy kid that’s being haunted by many ghost and as an actor he kept the audience in the edge of his chairs with his innocent but tortured style acting delivery. Apart from acting he has even done voice acting for big name games like the Kingdom Hearts series. Truly one of the best child actors.
RT’d @VeridisQuo1
I’m going old school for this one, Shirley Temple! She was so darn cute and talented! I could watch her movies anytime! @hairgirl1966
I loved Peter Billingsly!
@lag32583
My favourite child actor is Mara Wilson, from Mrs Doubtfire, Miracle on 34th Street etc etc. She is so cute, and a wonderful little actress who draws you in straight away and has you loving her from scene 1! Plus she has wonderful facial expressions which do make me giggle :-)From Wendy (Twitter, @WendyCollard
sugar melts, why because sugar is sweet and melts as she will melt away hearts @dipsymummy
my favorite is drew barrymore because i grew up watching her, she rocks! @fdp4life on twitter
Mine would be Jonathan Lipnicki from Jerry Maguire, he was so cute and had some cracking one liners like :
Jerry Maguire: The fu*kin zoo is closed, Ray.
Ray: You said fu*k.
Jerry Maguire: Uh… yeah… I…
Ray: Don’t worry. I won’t tell.
I also really liked Corey Haim he was awsome back in the 80’s .
corey haim – its the scene of him in the bath in lost boys – so sweet RIP CH
I’d have to say Bobb’e J. Thompson – I recently saw him in “Role Models” on TV over xmas and he was soooo funny. Very well played.
Shirley Temple always fascinated me, great little actress, singer & dancer; triple threat!
@WendyNoel72
Robin Weisman from 1980’s classic “3 Men and a Little Lady” for the line “What a crock of ****” – the funniest line by a child actor ever!!
Deffinatley was Mcaully Culkin,spelt wrong i know lol but i was a huge home alone fan and he was fab x
Awesome – would love to see this but he will never get it when he goes to rent/buy a film. 😦
What happened to this movie? So many preview, then it petered out. It looked really funny, too!
