Jennifer Aniston has starred in so many lame romantic comedies that she's become an industry punch line, but drop her into an Adam Sandler movie and she comes off like Katharine Hepburn.
The central conceit serves the new version well enough, despite the filmmakers' regrettable addition of sundry idiotic distractions.
An egregiously unfunny enterprise that seem less crafted than extruded through the great product-mill that is Hollywood at its most homogenized and soulless.
Amidst the wreckage of Just Go With It, Aniston and Sandler have a real chemistry. They should go elsewhere with it.
It's all ridiculous, of course, but it's meant to be.
Sandler has mellowed into an appealingly garlicky, old-school mensch, and Aniston, as a self-sacrificingly practical woman in a race against time, is a genre unto herself.
It achieves a rancidness far beyond all of Sandler's other misogynistic mash-ups of groin kicks, poop jokes and juvenile, homophobic characters.
For one moment, just one moment -- it works.
You can practically feel comedy facepalming itself.
Brooklyn Decker seems to have been cast primarily for the way she fills out her bikini, especially in slo-mo. Her cleavage receives so much camera time, it deserves its own billing.
The film is far from original, (but) as a whole, Just Go With It has enough easy charm to pull you through.
Full of both funny lines and, most importantly, funny people, "Just Go With It" is Sandler's most accessible film in a long time.
Just run from it!
I have to warn you, there are two precocious children in it of the species that only exist in Hollywood's imagination, and they are truly horrible.
It's just a bunch of jerks running around being classless, unfunny and treating domestic workers poorly.
... forgettable update of an equally forgettable 1969 farce called 'Cactus Flower.'
As predictable as it is, there's a simplicity and honesty to it that make it surprisingly enjoyable. And it actually made me like Jennifer Aniston again. (Fresh - just)
It's the kind of movie that makes you wonder why anyone decided it was good enough to show to the public, the kind that makes you want to repeatedly hit yourself in the face with a hammer. You'd have more fun doing that, too.
