Le mytho - Just Go with It

...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

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.

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!".
