Just Go With It

So in "Just Go With It" Adam Sandler pretends to be in bad marriages to land sympathetic chicks. But his plan backfires when he he finds "the one" and recruits his single mother assisstant Jennifer Aniston and her two kids to be his family. Even as I tried to figure out an easy why to explain the plot I knew it sounded confusing/stupid/unbelievable. And in large part, the plot is all of these things. First of all, what kind of women would have a one nighter with a married man just because his marriage is bad. Second, Palmer (the one) can't be so stupid to believe all of this. And thirdly, the title isn't just for Jennifer Aniston and her kids, but for the audience as well, because we do have to "just go with it" in order to get through this crazy story.

With that said, I kind of liked it. Adam Sandler is no where near as funny as he used to be, but this movie was funny enough, I actually liked Jennifer Aniston in it, the kids were really funny, and Nicole Kidman and Dave Matthews' storyline was an unnecessary but welcome addition. My biggest problem with this movie wasn't the unbelievable story line, but the unbelievable chemistry between Adam Sandler and Palmer. If you hadn't guessed he ends up with Aniston, it becomes glaringly obvious as soon as we are asked to believe that Palmer is "the one".

Suspend belief in reality for awhile and have a few couple laughs.
