Even if you despise Adam Sandler, you probably won't mind this funny and begrudgingly charming comedy. The ensemble cast is stellar - in particular Aniston, Kidman and the brilliant young actress who plays Aniston's daughter. The typical cringeworthy Sandler teenage humour and 80s frat boy sexist tropes are littered throughout, and Sandler's way too young blonde love interest & storyline is actually sickening, but these disappointments are offset by strong and very entertaining performances from Kidman and Aniston. Plus a few very funny jokes about plastic surgery.
I only watched this to see Kidman, and considering it's Adam Sandler, I wasn't expecting much. But wow, was this was horrible and much more painful than I had initially expected. I got an hour in until I just skimmed through and only watched the scenes that Kidman was in. Up to that point, it proved to be a completely predictable, unfunny, clichéd, and cringe-inducing movie that nearly gave me a migraine. This entire film's paper-thin premise is built around people being stupid and situations that could have easily been avoided. Sandler has absolutely no charisma, and is criminally unfunny, which tears the movie apart. I actually ended up liking and respected the antagonist in this (Kidman) more than the protagonist (Aniston). This is the result of the terrible characters and even worse portrayals. How am I supposed to believe that Sandler is a medical doctor when his vocabulary is as developed as a five-year-old?The only saving graces in this was Bailee Madison who is quite a good child actor, and Nicole Kidman who I was really embarrassed for. She deserves better than this.
Every time I'm about to watch Adam Sandler movie I do hope against all odds that this one is going to be good. Or at least so good that I'll watch it to the end. Unfortunately Just Go with It wasn't an exception.Every cliché of Sandler's movies is in it. Cheap humor, dumb dialoges, non realistic characters, predictable plot, one likely-to-be comic figure, honest main male character (Sandler). So all was as expected. The only thing I don't get is why Nicole Kidman felt the urge to participate
Just go with it starring Jennifer Aniston and Adam sandler really is better than I expected. Jennifer Aniston is charming and funny as ever, she and Sandler have surprisingly good chemistry. Some of the script and dialogue really is funny, which is another surprising part, considering that Sandler films aren't usually my cup of tea, just take mr deeds for example, how the hell does that movie have a higher rotten tomatoes rating that just go with it? Like seriously I wanna know. But anyways, the comedy is good and Brooklyn Decker is good too, she wasn't just a hot body, don't get me wrong plenty of the comments are made about that, but she brings more to the character than that. I loved Nicole Kidman as Devlin Adams, she plays her character very very well. Also, I loved the pretty scenery, and the environment of the movie. I liked the ending too, maybe a tad cliché, but it's cute nonetheless. Just go with it gets a big 8/10 overall.
