A Movie Review: Just Go With It

Just Go With It. Here we have Danny (Adam Sandler) traumatized when he over-hears his bride bad mouthing him. There goes the wedding. He soon learns that by wearing his wedding ring, he can gain sympathy from women. It is a nice way to have a sex life, but it isn’t a way to have a long lasting relationship. His friend/confidant/employee, Katherine (Jennifer Aniston) finds his actions deplorable. He then runs into Palmer (Brooklyn Decker) at a party and he feels she is the one, but unfortunately for him she finds the wedding ring – which he’d hidden. He makes up a story about an ex-wife. She demands to meet the ex-wife. He convinces Katherine to play the role of the ex-wife and so we have the title of the movie.

I didn’t find this movie at all entertaining. The first half of the movie just felt awkward. I felt like Jennifer Aniston and Adam Sandler just weren’t clicking. And honestly I thought Nick Swardson’s (Eddie) character was just painfully outside the context of the movie. And as for Brooklyn Decker, she plays a sweet person who is also a teacher and she’s treated rather badly in the end. Skip it.
