Just Go With It - Adam Sandler, Jennifer Aniston, Brooklyn Decker - ***
Adam Sandler has a particular sense of humor that shines through in all his movies. From Happy Gilmore to Water Boy to You Don't Mess with Zohan, he straddles the line between funny and crude and somehow always makes me laugh. His characters are usually the same...guy with hard exterior has a sweet spot for a lady, child, penguin, etc. and usually triumphs at the end. That being said, I love Adam Sandler movies; 50 First Dates is one of my top 5 favorite movies.
Just Go With It is about a single plastic surgeon who pretends to be married to pick up women. He meets a hot young thing (played well by Charlottean Brooklyn Decker) and decides she is "the one" but since she thinks he is married-going through a divorce, he needs to introduce her to his soon to be ex-wife to get her permission to date him. He gets his office assistant/confidant (Aniston) and her two kids to play along and before you know it the whole clan is off to Hawaii for a spur of the moment weekend trip. I was rather surprised by the major twist in this movie. Just kidding...there are no twists. Exactly what you think is going to happen, does. That being said, Jennifer Aniston is gorgeous and exudes a fantastic personality. I want her to be real so I can be friends with her. The kids are well mannered and funny and Adam Sandler has some great one liners that made me laugh. In addition, Dave Matthews (yes, that Dave Matthews) has a small but hysterical part.
This is a silly, completely non believable movie, but if you are like me and are a Sandler fan, that won't matter at all and you will still enjoy it.
