Just Go with It

I tend to have mixed feelings when watching comedies with Adam Sandler. They always make me cringe, they always feature a character who cracks jokes intended for viewers with lower intelligence, and they are always more or less predictable. Then again, I always have a good laugh. This time, Jennifer Aniston was also cast in the film, which was a real hit. The older she gets, the better and I’ll even say prettier she is. I enjoyed her part the most. All in all, it was a breezy feel-good comedy, which made me laugh, and that is what I expect from a comedy. I was satisfied and I’ll watch it again sometime.

The first hour is excruciating, but when the chaos shifts to Hawaii and Nicole Kidman appears, it all starts to make sense, the jokes suddenly become funny and the useless characters become marginal. If you can stand the hula hula competition, believe me, you won't know where to look, because you'd be surprised to know that Nicole and Jennifer Aniston are more attractive than ever and the presence of some awkward Sports Illustrated cover beauty in a small role really can't mess them up. Go Girls. (01/23/2015)

I consider this an above-standard rom-com, if only because I almost peed myself. After a very long time, I heard huge fits of laughter in the cinema. I take it back that Sandler is getting boring, even though the supporting roles did carry most of the humor here. Surely absolutely everyone had to laugh at the lady with the mismatched eyebrows. Oh my gosh, I've been waiting for this for years!!! Huge surprise. I might even forgive Dugan for this one. (04/22/2011)

Heavy-duty romance. Sandler-style. It’s clear how it ends already from the trailer or from the description on the posters, but I really enjoyed Just Go With It. Jennifer Anniston has a good part to act and is sexy as hell (how old is she?) and Sandler plays it safe. Brooklyn Decker makes your jaw drop down to the ground, but I don’t think I could forgive her for listening to N'Sync ;). Apart from the classic template, we have resuscitating a sheep, jokes about dead pandas, jokes about homosexuals, a hand down the toilet and beating kids. Great fun... Maybe you should earn your own money. As a newspaper boy or something like that. The rich don’t give others money for nothing, that’s why they’re rich, understand? (05/27/2011)

Sure, it's not original, there are clichés, but you know what? It all works as it should. An unpretentious romantic comedy that hopefully won't offend anyone's sensibilities, it's enjoyable and entertaining. A great thing to relax to. Finally, after a long time, a comedy where I didn't have to feel embarrassed at what the actors were doing. Plus, Sandler and Aniston looked good together, so there was nothing to be upset about. I enjoyed it within the genre. (09/12/2012)
