Just Go With It...Review

  Just Go With It, a new semi-romantic comedy released February 11th, is a comedy must see.  This movie stars Adam Sandler opposite Jennifer Aniston.  I have to admit I questioned the chemistry the two would produce on screen but, my pessimism was continually shot down starting with the first few scenes.

  The story is built around the idea that Danny played by Sandler habitually pretends to be married in order to get woman to fall for him.  His dissaprooving assistant Katherine (Aniston) is thrust into his worldwind of lies when he meets a noticeably younger woman at a party, Palmer played by Brooklyn Decker, whom he tries to win over by undoing a lie that was unexpectedly told.

This movie went beyond the usual hate-turns to-love aspect that seems to haunt every romantic comedy.  Jennifer Aniston's portrayal of a single mother was shockingly believable.  Being that in her actual life she has no children, the motherly roll seemed very natural for her.  Aniston pulled off the caring and concerned parent part with deserved success.  Sandler orchestrated the films ongoing humor with his customary abnormal insensitive-to-children-humor.  The movie was filled with unexpected awkward situations that accompanied huge amounts of laughter.


Brooklyn Decker plays the gorgeous model type love interest of Danny (Sandler).  Besides all stereotypes that beauty comes with no brains, her character turns out to be a school teacher.  Decker herself also turns out to be a pretty crafty actress considering this was her on screen debut.  Cast with well seasoned pros, Decker easily keeps up with their pace.

  I have to say that I have been very disappointed in these recent comedies where you have to hear an earful of profanity and an enormous amount of sex jokes.  This was a breath of fresh air from all the past comedic disappointments.  If you want to laugh and enjoy this weekend with almost non-stop humor...take a break from the busy world and grab some popcorn and try not to choke when you see this hilarious comedy about unexpected love and laugh out loud comedy.  This movie gets a well deserved three snaps and smile!
