Before sitting down to watch the movie, I ask myself that very question. In reality I'm sure there are some big legal issues, but I didn't care about that when it came to what transpires in the movie. My biggest concern was if the main character was going to be a douche. The way the Switch plays out in the movie, you do in a way, give Wally a pass. You may be asking yourself "how is that even possible". Well, you're just gonna have to check it out to see for yourself.
