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.

Huge fan of Adam Sandler except a few that are "poop" so I'm surprised I didn't see this one cause it's pretty good! Nothing special though "Punch-Drunk Love" is among my favorites!
Mostly stupid slapstick comedy as usual with Sandler's flicks, which isn't bad. Good entertainment for a couple hours not much to judge.

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!

Adam Sandler is getting pretty solid at producing and acting in quasi-poignant tales that get him somewhat further away - and, ultimately, closer to (doesn't make sense, I know) - from his proto-Sandler-style of filmmaking that has his vaguely proto-typical cast of characters - hapless, hopeless geeks, improbable ladies' man, a "nice guy" that all the ladies want, but still seem to settle on the douches. Sandler brings his "crew" together - former/current SNLers, Allen Covert (who is pretty much in every Sandler movie that I can think of), and some heavy-hitters occasionally. "The Wedding Singer," "Grown-Ups," and, now, "Just Go With It" all pander to this amiable style of film-making that is at times borderline gross-out - but just pulls away before you realize this probably isn't an Apatow-slacker movie, nor is attempting to be.
Sandler is a plastic surgeon who long ago accidentally discovered he could play the "my wife is a terrible person who abuses me" card to score with hot chicks at the bar. Fact is he's not actually married - he and/or his wife left him at the altar many years before when he discovered she really didn't like him - but he's become so comfortable with lying to score with the chicks he just doesn't care - or seem to. Jennifer Aniston is his office assistant, a sweet, single gal with 2 kids. She doesn't much care for how he deals with the ladies, but she still likes him because she sees what a sweet guy he really is under the surface of his rather devious womanizing that all starts with a lie.
Sandler meets the bounteous and beautiful - and, very young - Brooklyn Decker at a party. They sleep together on the beach and in the morning Decker discovers he's "married." Sandler immediately throws a lie out there - he IS in fact, married (wait, no he's not, but it's all a lie anyway) but he's in the process of getting a divorce because his relationship with his wife - again, playing the same card - is very bad. Decker somehow believes him and off we go with the rest of the movie where Aniston agrees to be his fake wife and ultimately go off on a vacation with Decker, Sandler, Aniston's kids, and Nick Swanson as the court jester/boob (basically a version of Rob Schneider from Sandler's other "Happy Madison" movies) who pretends to be Aniston's boyfriend.
There are a lot of funny setups and jokes - enough to enjoy the movie, for sure, even if they do clearly seem to be Sandler-ish in their obviousness. Hey, he's a plastic surgeon, let's see where we might milk that. Decker is half his and Aniston's age - let's see where we might milk that. Swanson is an often over-the-top boob - let's see where we can grab some silly jokes there. Aniston's kids - the daughter, especially - are good for quite a few laughs as well.
I half expected Decker to be pretty bad, but she does just fine. She is playing against top comedic talent here - though honestly Sandler nearly seems on auto-pilot in most of his movies - and nowhere is Jessica Simpson-like delivery in evidence. It hardly needs to be said she is being used for her looks more than her supposed talent, but her ability to transcend the "Hey, I'm just here to be a C-cup blond bimbo in a bikini" obviousness of her role is commendable. Sandler is notorious - or very successful, depending on your perspective - in bringing in at least one or two pieces of eye candy to most of his films, but in a manner that is less blatant or purely perverse. Yes, Sandler likes hiring hot chicks, but he also likes the good/nice guy to have a shot with her, which makes most of us nerds feel at least a little bit more hopeful. Decker and Aniston both of course fill this role, quite well.
While clearly not an intentional Oscar-winner, Sandler proves he is again capable of making a funny, somewhat poignant, generally enjoyable PG-13-bordering-on-R-rated film.

Just saw at this an advanced screening in Huntington Beach.
It was pretty damn good. I do have to admit that I am an Adam Sandler fan. Being 21, I grew up seeing his films in theaters and for the most part liked them all. I think with Big Daddy, Dennis Dugan and Adam Sandler's Happy Madison crew really started a formula of movie. Central conflicted and imperfect character Adam (who has a good heart of course), falls in love with the girl of his dreams, who is younger and way better looking than him, all formulated around a specific central premise (i.e. with this film it's Adam's lies piling on top of lies) supported by extremely strong, quirky side character performances. This might be the epitome of this established formula, really passing 50 First Dates in my opinion. The typical Sandler ridiculous humor and smart-ass remarks are extremely well balanced with perfectly timed and executed emotional moments. The set-up for the story is pretty basic and at first almost appears predictable. It is to some extent, but the crazy directions the movie takes based on Sandler's lies is well done and only stretches a few times. But what do you expect from the Happy Madison crew?
The 2 kids in the film did a good job and had some funny lines. I am not a Jennifer Aniston fan at all but really actually liked her in this. I sort of understand her popularity and charm after this movie. She seemed more genuine and I felt an emotional attachment to her that I have always lacked with her. Plus, she is showcased in a particular waterfall scene and looks absolutely fantastic in a bikini. Brooklyn Decker is unbelievably gorgeous, as we all know from the SI Swimsuit Edition, but I was very surprised at how natural of an actress she was. She seemed very comfortable and didn't overact much. She is extremely cute and lovable. Nicole Kidman and Dave Mathews were great as an uber cool couple. Nicole was a bit over the top as she has been of late (like since Moulin Rouge), but thats what her character called for so I understand. Dave was surprisingly good as an almost drugged up yuppie, cool boyfriend of Nicole's. Nick Swardson was absolutely hilarious and by far steals every scene he is in. He really comes into the movie about 1/3 of the way in and from there on out its his movie. Nick Swardson deserves fame for this.
I can't say for sure how the critics will receive it. I can handle suspension of disbelief as long as it leads to a funny payoff. For the most part these moments are delivered. It's a great date movie and a great movie for Sandler fans. He has an unbelievable recent track record for success, but this will top all of them at the box office.

"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.

...from the horrendously depressing Comments. What on Earth is going on with humans? This is one of my, now, favorite Adam Sandler Movies. It's 2022 and I felt like watching something good after dozens of Netflix bore fests. And I just enjoyed it.
I too was never a huge Adam Sandler or Jennifer Aniston fan. But I never bashed them or anything crazy like that. I just didn't watch their stuff. But this made me like both of them.. And I think they do have chemistry. They were friends for over 20 years when this was made. I plan on watching more of their movies now. Finally some comedies to look forward to on my streaming services.
I also liked that Nicole Kidman did something silly for a change. I loved her in Stepford Wives as well. I don't even have anything else to say except it was fun. Read any other positive review for more details.

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

First of all, it is an Adam Sandler movie. If you hate Adam Sandler movies, then you won't like this.
I gave it an 8/10 because it was one of the better Adam Sandler movies. The plot and storyline was better than I expected; the development was pretty good as well. There were definitely a lot of points where I had to slap my forehead b/c it was silly funny.
Yeah, its highly unrealistic, but if you expected realism, whats wrong with you? Sure, Jennifer Anniston is the "uglier chick," which is like saying a million dollars isn't that much money, but she did a good job in the movie.
The only complaint I had was Adam Sandler used all the lines I planned on using with the girl I took to see it!

I put this on mainly for my girlfriend to watch and wasn't expecting very much. The opening scene explaining the wedding ring made me laugh more than a few times. The acting wasn't amazing and the story was okay but I found myself laughing at quite a lot of this movie. Jennifer Aniston was her usual character but I didn't dislike her and actually found myself thinking 'Hmm, I'd like to wake up next to her..' You can tell what is going to happen almost as soon as the movie starts but I found it quite watchable. Apart from Nicole Kidman. She annoyed me in this movie.
Overall this isn't going to be in your top 100 movies of the year and it certainly isn't going to win any awards but it is a harmless movie that will make you laugh (Unless you have no sense of humour).
I suggest buying it when its £3 in Asda then giving it to your sister/aunt/mum/daughter for Christmas after you've watched it. ;)

This terrible remake of I.A.L. Diamond's work on Cactus Flower back in 1969, itself based on an excellent stage play, was difficult to sit through: Too long, too unfunny, and to formulaic. Relying on sight gags and stale jokes cannot save a bad film, much less a screenplay that probably required very little effort on the part of the writers. Of late, much of what's coming out of Hollywood reeks of paranoia. When one is afraid to take a risk, in the genre of romantic comedies, remake something that was successful years ago. This travesty is indicative such a mentality. Also, when will Jennifer A. wake up and stop getting herself involved in films that will do little for her career? Save your money and rent Cactus Flower. Trust me, you'll be happy you did.

I'm a bloke of 32. I took the other half to watch this last night as I do enjoy Comedy's. Not much of a cinema goer as tend to be the one saying 'ooh I knew I wanted to see that' when the film gets released and then completely forget to actually go.
I was in absolute stitches watching this, it's by far the funniest film I've seen in a long-long time. Normally watching a comedy I'd chuckle and laugh a bit but I was actually laughing out loud almost the whole film - as were a most of the other viewers in the cinema.
I do like (as my missus puts it) 'stupid comedy's' like; Anchor Man, Dodgeball and Hear no Evil See No Evil etc. so this is where I'm coming from.
I think the whole cast was near on perfect with Adam Sandler providing hilarious moments throughout, with Jenifer Aniston sexier and funnier than I've ever known her to be. if you watch the film you'll know that Dolf Lungren was side splitting at times and The kids worked really well especially Keekee-D's Mary Poppins English Accent!.... Oh and not to fortget the beautiful blonde :)
All in all an absolute hoot and would thoroughly recommend it to anyone.
Would have given it a 10/10 but nothings perfect :) so its a 9/10 from me.
ps. Just go with it hit the spot so much that this is the first film review I have ever done!

Seriously, this movie was ridiculous from the very beginning. Sandler and Aniston were bad caricatures of a plastic surgeon and his compassion less assistant, Brooklyn Decker came across as the world's stupidest school teacher and worst of all was Nick Swordson's rendition of Jerry Lewis' Mad Professor. The kids (although cute) weren't even likable and as their mother, JA showed all the warmth and maternal instincts of a Madame Tussaud figure. On the bright side for Aniston, her bikini body was way hotter than Deckers. The only bright spot was Nicole Kidman's conniving character. I can only assume that a lost wager on Kidman's part accounted for her appearance in this charade of a movie. If that's the case, she's probably sworn off betting forever. So sorry I added to the week's coffers. It's not even worth the price of a rental.

Finally, Adam Sandler is rising up from the perpetual spiral of semi-interesting movies he has been riding for the past years. Sure, the movie "Just Go With It" looks disturbingly similar to "50 First Dates" when you look on the cover, but they are two completely different movies altogether.
The story told in "Just Go With It" is fairly sassy and Hollywoodish; a classical lovely story of sorts. Danny (played by Adam Sandler) falls in love with Palmer (played by Brooklyn Decker). They go away to Hawaii with Danny's assistant Katherine (played by Jennifer Aniston) and his friend Eddie (played by Nick Swardson). And the story rolls as the little white lies escalate and grow larger and larger. I am not going on with more of the story here, but being a 'straight off the Hollywood romantic comedy assembly line', then there is no surprise to how the movie ends. You know it straight from the minute the movie starts. But still, the movie is quite enjoyable. Although stereotypical, then the story is a good one, and you quickly get into it.
There are some really good characters in the movie, aside from the four main characters. I especially liked the plastic surgery enhanced people at the party in the beginning of the movie. They were hilarious, and drew lots of laughs.
The location of the movie, in Hawaii, really adds a romantic aspect to the movie, and it works out really, really well. You can almost feel the sand between your toes and feel the waves as they crash gently against your shins. Thumbs up on making the feel of the movie stand out this much.
There is a really good chemistry between Aniston and Sandler, and they really brought the story to life and they were in their aces in this movie.
I was pleasantly surprised by this movie, as I had expected it to be another of Sandler's mass-produced half-funny comedies. So if you like romantic comedies and are a fan of either (or both) Sandler or/and Aniston, then "Just Go With It" is definitely worth checking out. The movie has some wonderful moments, it will make you laugh and it will make your heart all warm and fuzzy.
Thumbs up, and welcome back Sandler...

The movie has some wonderful moments, it will make you laugh and it will make your heart all warm and fuzzy.
Thumbs up, and welcome back Sandler...

One of Sandler's better films from this period, finding the right balance between grounded and zany, as a plausible plot gets more ridiculous; the perfect platform for a display of Sandler's talents in frustration.
After lying to his dream girl (Decker), the successful Sandler enlists his faithful assistant (Aniston) to pose as his supposedly vile, soon-to-be ex-wife. As the lie evolves, more of those close to him are recruited, attempting, and failing, to present him in the most favourable light. Increasingly wild antics ensue.
Whilst the ending can be predicted from minute one, the journey along the way is still funny and enjoyable. Just Go With It displays a great chemistry between Sandler and Aniston, one which would be reprised in the later Murder Mystery films. It does, however, fall victim to it's attempts to make child actors funny through big personalities. In general, whilst an integral part to the plot, the uninhibited daughter is more of an irritant than funny character in scenes.

Adam Sandler movies are always ridiculous. This happens to be one where he actually acts and isn't just a movie full of dumb Adam Sandler jokes. Maybe Jennifer Aniston makes it better? Pretty decent movie... from Adam Sandler.

Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston have great chemistry together. The entire cast had some really great lines and terrific delivery of them. It is definitely a feel good romantic comedy.

Adam Sandler's/Dennis Dugan's films has been using the same formula since "Happy Gilmore" (Heck even if you watch "Problem child" you can clearly see Dennis Dugan made it) Same type of humor, a lot of the same actors..You would think that by now everyone would now beforehand what to expect from their films.That is why I am always surprise that you get people moaning about Sandler's/Dungan's films..Why are they going to them , they should know the type of films it's gonna be because their films are always the same type?!! I personally like watching those films, they are brainless , harmless fun and most importantly they are the type of comedy you can bring kids along(It's getting very rare,most comedy does allusion about sex and drugs these days).I am never surprise by those films, I go expecting something that I always end up getting,I knew exactly what sort of film "Just go with it" was from who made it and I was not disappointed the least. It was a sweet little comedy. Jennifer Aniston actually had good chemistry with Sandler and I was surprised by how great they work together as they are two actors I would have not imagine together as "lover". Nicole Kidman was wonderful as the bitchy school friend of Aniston's character and I might add that she was the best looking I have seen her on film in a long time. The two kids were very natural and likable , I was afraid at first when I knew the kids were going to be featured in the film heavily but those two were great actors for their young age. Beside all of this like I mentioned before this is a Happy Gilmore film and people should be aware of what comes with it.It's light hearted fluff and I personally liked it. So to all the haters if you watched Grown ups last year and didn't like it, why did you go into that one? If you didn't like "Just go with it" I think you should stay away from any upcoming films by Sandler and Dugan because chances are you'll be back on those board complaining about them as well..

There isn't much to be said. Brooklyn Decker is nice looking but that's about the only redeeming feature of this movie which is the worst I've seen in a long time. Some poor casting and worse writing makes this one close to unbearable. You know right from the opening scenes that you're going to be in for a long night. Jennifer Anniston proves once again that she is one dimensional and the rest of the cast isn't much different. I did enjoy however the scenes with Nicole Kidman and Dave Matthews because at least if was something a little different. Save yourself the time and the money, because let's face it - one way or another, you've seen this movie before.

Seriously an all time favorite! I dont know how This didn't last that long in theaters. I've seen this movie 50x plus and it just keeps getting better. Hilarious, romantic, fun, and a feel good. Makes me so happy every time I see it! A little kick from Adam Sandlers classic comedies, with Jen's romantic and timeless character makes for a perfect pick me up movie. A MUST WATCH!!!!!! This movie has created many inside jokes for my family and quite the popular lingo with my peers (live at the index cards, browch, or DIE). If you're craving a 50 first dates feel this is the perfect movie! Adam Sandler has done it again by making another icon his wife in an absolute gem!

Danny (Adam Sandler) is a plastic surgeon who's found that a fake wedding ring is his greatest weapon in picking up girls. Despite its success, he has caught the attention of Palmer (Brooklyn Decker) without it, and when she sees it she doesn't react like the other women. Lying, Danny tells her he's going through a divorce and to cover that end of the fib he coerces his assistant Katherine (Jennifer Aniston) into playing the part of his wife. The snowball effect gets into full swing and before long Danny finds himself vacationing in Hawaii with Palmer as well as his fake family complete with two kids. His biggest trouble may be in deciding if the charade he's keeping is actually the one he wants.
Just Go with It is a return to the typical Sandler vehicle, which it turns out is tragically dated and littered with blows to the crotch. The changup comes in Aniston being a more established foil than he's used to being paired, so some of her recent work shows through. You'd think that the combination of two over-exposed styles would clash, but they complement what the other is missing. Truth be told, having a sassy Aniston to knock Sandler down a peg works remarkably well. What isn't a good call is having to aim for the gross-out joke in the middle of some good dialog. So as you can image their job is going to put them in situations with body parts that aren't going to be shown in this PG-13 comedy. As likable as the Sandler-Aniston duo comes across, it's unfortunate that Just Go with It lives and dies by the supporting cast. On one hand Nicole Kidman and Dave Matthews hit a remarkable amount of laughs, and the former has a very large part in a film that doesn't show her for even a second in the promos. That's what I call a "pleasant surprise" and I wish other movies took note. The other end of the spectrum is visited with a combination of horrible child acting (possibly directing but more on this soon) and Nick Swardson. With the kids you get the sense that these children are suffering from the direction of Dennis Dugan who always makes the youth overly expressive. This time it troubles me more because the children have quite a bit of lines to grin through. With Maggie, a character supposedly taking up acting, she's never genuine. Michael similarly draws inspiration from performances for his role as Danny's son but instead is like a possessed cadaver. Finally Swardson is clearly aiming to be the most obnoxious actor ever. Not to get into too much detail over it, but there's nothing funny about it.
The outcome of the narrative is astoundingly conventional. This isn't a story that's going to challenge even a Facebook drone. Maybe I'm over analyzing, but the distasteful level of some of the scenes is so strong that I wonder if the intention is to test the tolerance of audience. Once you've sat through enough of it, you really do just go with it.
To say that Just Go with it was better than I expected is merely a comparative phrase. Did I expect it to suck? Yes. Indeed there is a great deal about it that puzzles me as to how Sony Pictures could have decided to release this to the public, but in some ways the cacophony of gags is effective because one is bound to hit you hard. I had belly laughs and that's not easy to coax from me.

I had the misfortune of sitting through this movie with an elderly patient and his wife. NO ONE laughed much in the entire theater.
The jokes were obviously written either by a 12 year old boy or someone with brain damage.
Why does Jennifer Aniston keep playing the SAME character over and over? Adam Sandler is supposed to be a plastic surgeon and Aniston his assistant. Their unprofessional behavior would have me running from this office. Jokes were stupid and crude. Sandler fakes being married to pick up women because he was hurt years ago at his wedding. Stupid premise to begin with and it just got worse and worse.
Nicole Kidman did nothing to liven up this dreary mess.
Avoid this like the plague unless you are into sadomasochism.

I absolutely love Jennifer Aniston and this was a perfect excuse to drool over her for almost two full hours. Other than that, I usually get the feeling that I'm too easily amused because, like with this movie, people often give me the "meh, it's alright" quick movie review, yet I was laughing so much at times I had trouble listening to the rest of the dialog. I had an amazing time watching this. Plus Adam and Jennifer have a knack for sounding like they're actually having a real conversation instead of being two actors reciting their parts of the script dramatically. I loved their characters. Also, the kids are really amazing, they come off as smart, witty and funny without sounding too much like your regular movie kids. If you're on the fence about this movie, by all means give it a chance.
