Just Go With It
BY Olivia-Prasad superstar
Loved the daughter in the film, other than that and Kidman was a predictable film that relyed on big name actors to draw in the audience.
BY Amanda-Bull nobody
typically funny, but pretty much just another rom com...thoroghly enjoyed it tho, laughs all the way through

Why does Jennifer Aniston always play this type of character in movies? Bruce Almighty, The Breakup.. This one just adds to the list. Predictable right from the beginning.

The people in this movie are dumber than a box of Tinkertoys. Full Review
Dismal. Full Review
The predicable, overlong romantic farce has enough sass and sex appeal to appease fans of stars Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston. Full Review
There is some cheap homophobia at the end, and a lot of the kind of misogyny that treats the existence of nonthin, nonrich, nonwhite women as a joke in itself. Full Review
A few laughs, a lot of slack and some mild xenophobia are the order of the day in the latest so-so romp to come off the Sandler production line. Full Review
Manages to misfire in two seemingly incompatible directions. A puerile kiddie-comedy without the anarchic energy, and a schmaltzy romantic comedy without the sweetness. Full Review

This typically infantile comedy from Adam Sandler ticks all the Happy Madison boxes (hot leading ladies; schlubby dudes; poop and boob jokes; Sandler buddy cameos; a scene set around fast food) and should satisfy Sandler's core fanbase but there's very little here to attract the unconverted....

Sandler's always had a sleepy quality to his acting, but he's barely paying attention as Danny, a plastic surgeon who drafts in his 'plain' assistant (Jennifer Aniston) to pose as the wife he's divorcing when he meets the girl of his dreams, played by swimwear model Brooklyn Decker.
Even to audiences numbed by the superlatively strained circumstances most romantic comedies throw at us, the shenanigans here struggle to suspend disbelief, especially when everybody (including Aniston's kids) heads to picturesque Hawaii one third of the way into the movie.
The film is based on a film written by the legendary I.A.L. Diamond, which was itself inspired by a french play. Seeing the name of the man who wrote Some Like It Hot and The Apartment in the credits of an Adam Sandler movie is truly surreal. It's also pretty nutty when Nicole Kidman shows up but she doesn't do a huge amount with her role.
Many of the best jokes centre around plastic surgery, but they run out after the first thirty minutes of the movie. At almost two hours, Just Go With It more than outstays its welcome, and spends far too much time on the denouement. There should be a rule that Happy Madison productions can only be 90 minutes long, max. Including credits.Hide
