Still enjoying his career re-birth since his portrayal of Michael Bluth on the acclaimed (and long-cancelled) series Arrested Development , Bateman continues his movie momentum with Horrible Bosses and The Change-Up . "Not many viewers tuned in (to Arrested Development ), but some people… More in L.A. were watching, and they turned out to be people in charge of giving out some pretty good jobs," he says. "Not many get a chance to hit the career re-set button." The pitch: Horrible Bosses In Horrible Bosses, Bateman is one of three friends ( Saturday Night Live 's Jason Sudeikis and Charlie Day from the cable show It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia are the others) who plot to kill their employers one by one in this dark comedy. Marked for death are the evil bosses played by Kevin Spacey, Colin Farrell and Jennifer Aniston. Hit or miss? Swimming-with-sharks comedy home run. The pitch: The Change-Up The Change-Up is a trading-places farce with an R-rating. Bateman plays a conservative, middle-class husband who yearns to have the life of his womanizing single friend (Ryan Reynolds). The hubbie gets his wish when they body-switch as the friends inadvertently pass by a mystical fountain. Hit or miss? Blast from the past goes extra bases. http://www.vancouversun.com/entertainment/Stars+double+movie+theatres/4803455/story.html

I have, Arrested Development, listed as one of my favorite shows - On a show this brilliant, almost everyone had to be funny - but Jason playing Michael Bluth was the lynchpin. He was brilliant in this series and continues to show his growth as an actor in independent films such as "Extract." He's come a long way since his early years on television sitcoms. It would be wonderful if the right material came his way and he could return to a weekly series. But I will continue to follow him in movies - apparently he is set to star in one in the near future.
I think that Jason Bateman is a very talented actor. He has had a lot of great t.v. shows and movies that I love to watch over and over again. I especially loved him in The Hogan Family as David Hogan, because he was a sexy, young man that was growing up and going through the same things that other men his age were going through. Also I loved him on Arrested Development as Michael Bluth. He was very funny and such an outstanding actor, you couldn't take your eyes off of him, plus he was also very cute if I may say. And I think over all he has come a very long way and has made such a big come back since the hogan family was cancelled. I just want to also congragulate Jason on all of his hard work and all of the time and effort he has given us through being the wondurful actor he is and always will be. Way to go Jason Bateman, you rock. Your on top of the world!!! Plus congragulations on becoming a dad, I wish you all the best for you and your wife. Your biggest fan...

Jason Bateman has really been around this business for a while. Having got his start in television as a teenager, he really has become a true actor. You really believe that he got into acting because he loves it for what it is. You'll never see him in any tabloids and you won't hear any gossip about him. In his roles, you sense more realism than many other actor's who are considered more talented than he. Of all of his roles in all of his movies, my favorite has to be "Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story."
Considering all the comedy he does and the hilarious stuff that we see engage in he sure can keep a straight face, he seems like a serious profesional but the kind that isn't incapable of relazing and just having fun at times. I have seen him in Arrested Development and of course find him funny and a great character. However, one performance of his that particularly made me like him was his small role in Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story. He has a small role that doesn't really hold any purpose in the movie but that makes it all the more impressive that I remember him for it despite the size or importance. He is such a card in the film I swear you'll love him and I gotta say this the rest of the movie isn't exactly that funny but you'll certainly crack up wtching him. I really think Jason is gonna be a really well known name and it's just a mterr of time. He reminds ome of a mix of Jerry Seinfeld and Jim Carey.
may be it's just me but i love him in everything ive ever seen him in. it's like everything he touches turns to Gold for me... have you ever seen him in Some of my best friends are... i think the only reason that show was cancelled was because of 9/11 if it werent for that he would still be portraying a homosexual writer and i would still love him no matter what he decided to do.
