Meine erfundene Frau

I've seen almost all of Jennifer Aniston's movies and most of them I really did not like. So my expectations of "Just go with it" were very low. But I was pleasantly surprised to find that I was laughing with tears in my eyes the first 20min of watching this movie and I didn't stop laughing till the screen showed black.

Al though the movie almost is 2 hours long, I wasn't bored at any time. The story was well written, the acting was amazing and hilarious and it was original in it's jokes. It did have a typical ending, but for once it didn't bother me because of the good build up in the story and the development of the characters.

If you do have a weakness for typical comedy movies, but can't seem to find a good one these days, definitely check out this one: laughter guaranteed!

If you are looking for a highly intellectual movie, forget it. This is a simple movie with a simple story line and simple jokes. However, if you like to go to the movies just to break the routine, to have some laughs, and to change your mind, this is an excellent movie. Most highly critical people looking for perfection will give this movie a bad review, no doubt. People who gave an 8 to True Grit will not appreciate this movie...

Acting is excellent. Jennifer Aniston is perfect in that role; this is her best performance in a movie so far, except maybe for Marley and Me. Adam Sandler is much more natural than usual. He does not have to deliver all of the stupid jokes, and has a to act his role during most of the movie. I would say this is an equivalent performance as in 50 First Dates, or even better. He is very funny (as usual), but also compassionate and lovable. Nick Swardson is the clown of the movie, which allows Sandler to act more and leave some of the funny stuff to others. Swardson made me and my whole family laugh out loud during many parts of the movie. In fact, it had been a long time since I heard my two teenagers laugh so much and so loudly during a movie.

The two kids are really good supporting actors. They bring a lot to the movie. They make the situation more complicated a few times in unexpected ways. Bailee Madison is very impressive. We will see her again and often.

The normal cast of Happy Madisson movies are all there for their usual 2 minutes and all bring their own laugh. One of them made me swallow water in my lungs! He is good! I will let you guess which one.

All and all, we left very satisfied and happy we had this family night, even the teenagers. No frustration like we had in True Grit and no disappointment like we had in Sanctum. This was better than expected and worth its money. Just sit down and "Go with it!".

"Just Go with It," a 2011 romantic comedy directed by Dennis Dugan, offers a lighthearted and entertaining escape into the world of mistaken identities and unexpected love. Starring Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston, the film follows the story of a plastic surgeon, played by Sandler, who enlists his assistant, portrayed by Aniston, to pose as his ex-wife to cover up a lie. While the premise may seem formulaic, the movie stands out for its charismatic performances, humor, and the scenic backdrop of Hawaii.

Why You Should Watch:

The primary reason to watch "Just Go with It" is the undeniable chemistry between Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston. Their on-screen dynamic is effortless, and their banter provides a solid foundation for the film's comedic moments. Aniston's comedic timing complements Sandler's trademark humor, creating a delightful synergy that keeps the audience engaged. The film also features standout performances from the supporting cast, including Nicole Kidman and a scene-stealing turn by Nick Swardson, adding depth to the overall comedic experience.

The film's setting in Hawaii serves as a visual feast, adding an extra layer of charm to the romantic escapade. The picturesque landscapes, coupled with the film's breezy tone, make it a perfect choice for those seeking a feel-good romantic comedy. The plot, while relying on classic romcom tropes, is executed with enough twists and turns to keep the audience entertained, and the humor is consistent throughout, making it a delightful choice for a relaxed movie night.

Weaknesses:

One of the potential drawbacks of "Just Go with It" lies in its reliance on familiar romantic comedy conventions. The plot unfolds in a somewhat predictable manner, and viewers familiar with the genre may find certain plot twists foreseeable. Additionally, the film occasionally ventures into slapstick territory, which might not resonate with audiences seeking a more nuanced or sophisticated form of humor.

While the chemistry between the main cast is a significant strength, the character development could be considered somewhat shallow. The film prioritizes humor and romantic entanglements over deeper exploration of its characters, leaving some aspects of the story feeling more superficial. However, this is a common trade-off in the romcom genre, where the emphasis is often on light-hearted entertainment.

Conclusion and Rating:

"Just Go with It" deserves a solid 8 stars for its ability to deliver laughs, provide a charming romantic backdrop, and showcase the comedic talents of its cast. While it may not break new ground in terms of plot originality, its strength lies in the execution and the sheer enjoyment derived from watching a well-crafted romantic comedy. The film's breezy atmosphere, engaging performances, and picturesque setting make it a standout choice within its genre.

In conclusion, "Just Go with It" is a delightful romcom that succeeds in what it sets out to do: entertain and bring a smile to the audience. Its blend of humor, chemistry between the leads, and the tropical allure of Hawaii make it a worthwhile choice for those in the mood for a light-hearted romantic escape. If you're looking for a feel-good movie night with laughs and a touch of romance, "Just Go with It" is a reliable and enjoyable pick.

I am not a fan of Adam Sandler, though I have liked some of his performances and films, but when Jennifer Aniston has good material she is good. I was expecting Just Go with It to be crap, but while it was unexceptional on the whole I found it decent. Both Sandler and Anniston have done better, both have also done worse. Sandler is not amazing, but he is not as irritating as he can be. Anniston's role is one-dimensional, but she is beguiling and the chemistry they have is likable. Nicky Swardson, who I can't stand usually, is also good. The film looks appealing, is directed assuredly and the soundtrack is fitting and not too generic. The script however while having some funny and tender moments has a number of weak moments coming across as stilted and cloying. The story is rather thin and predictable especially the ending, and the characters while appealingly performed are generally under-developed and stereotyped. All in all, a decent and better than expected film but not great. 6/10 Bethany Cox

Sandler is very hit and miss with his films, this however is one of the hits.

The wife and I were laughing constantly and even use some of the jokes between each other today. Highly recommended as the film is full of gags and quips that'll keep you laughing for 90 minutes.
