Just Go With It!!!

'Just Go With It' is directed by Dennis Dugan and stars Jennifer Aniston, Adam Sandler, Brooklyn Decker and Nick Swardson. Adam Sandler portrays Danny, a plastic surgeon with a heartbreaking past. He decides that in order to not get his heart broken again, he wears a wedding ring so women can never get too close. Jennifer Aniston portrays his assistant, Katherine, who is a divorced mother of two and has her hands full. When Danny meets the girl of his dreams, Palmer (Decker) she accidentally finds his wedding ring and instead of telling her the truth, he creates lie after lie after lie. Can Danny be happy with Palmer after creating a web of lies or will he forever be a ladies man in hopes to never get hurt?
I loved this film. 'Just Go With It' is an over the top, absolutely ridiculous comedy that is insanely unbelievable, but it's sweet and it's hilarious. The children in this film, especially Maggie (Bailee Madison) steals the show. She was hysterical, she portrays Katherine's daughter who wants to be an actor and tries out different accents all the time. Throughout the entire movie she speaks with a British accent and it was perfect, she was definitely one of the funniest parts of the entire film. Nick Swardson who is always funny, portrays Danny's brother who gets in on all the lies and makes up an entire character all on his own, which is also hysterical. A nice funny surprise was Nicole Kidman and Dave Matthews' appearance in the film. Devlin (Kidman) was Katherine's sorority sister and Ian(Matthews) is her husband. Problems arise when Danny is forced to take everyone to Hawaii and true feelings are revealed.
The acting was decent, Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston are in their usual comfort zone, which is an unbelievable romantic comedy. Nicole Kidman and Dave Matthews were great portraying a married couple who are completely stuck up and self absorbed. Brooklyn Decker was quite boring and all she really did was parade around in little outfits and bikinis, anyone with a great figure could have played her part. The real acting shined through Bailee Madison and Griffin Gluck the two children in the film. They were remarkable, as I said earlier, Madison was truly incredible she was brilliant portraying a child but acted as an adult, she was very comical and it was a joy to watch her performance on screen.
The story was weak, it was very unrealistic and a typical Adam Sandler flick. It was enjoyable and fun to watch, but that was it. I highly recommend this film to anyone who enjoys Adam Sandler or Jennifer Aniston and to anyone who enjoys a comedic film with unrealistic occurrences.
