It's been a long run for Adam Sandler. I've watched almost every single one of his films and enjoyed most of his work. There has been some crappy films or roles performed in the past, but he's been one of those persistent actors and that has helped him to improve on his work and talent. I do believe his latest films have been more than entertaining. Probably because he's been working with such amazing and talented people and picked some really good plots. Just Go With It is one of those great films with a pretty entertaining and funny plot and an amazing cast.

Just Go With It brings the story of Danny Maccabee, a successful plastic surgeon in Los Angeles who suffered a traumatic and horrible marriage experience, after been heartbroken on his wedding day 20 years ago. Since that event, Danny has been using his wedding band to hook up with girls, just taking advantage of it living lie after lie.

Katherine Murphy is the only woman he trusts. She's his office manager and knows all of his secrets and women adventures. Katherine is a divorced woman, mother of two.

During a party night, Danny meets Palmer, a sexy, beautiful, young sixth grade math teacher. He hangs out with her all night (without his wedding band), having a great connection, but when they try to get each others phone number, Palmer finds Danny's wedding band in his jeans' pocket while she was looking for his business card.

When Danny believes Palmer is the perfect girl for him and that she might be the one, he tries to keep going out with her, but to do that, he needs to turn the wedding band into a fake marriage and gets Katherine and her children into the scene, making Palmer believe that Katherine and her kids are his wife and kids. That leads one lie to another one until it gets out of control.

At the end, when Danny and Palmer announce their wedding during their trip to Hawaii, Danny recognizes the amazing and unique connection he has with Katherine and that they might be more in loved with each other than they could ever imagine.

Just Go With It was just a refreshing and extremely funny film. It was not just about the funny plot, the amazing cast, but all the extra details that made the film really entertaining and easy to watch. We totally enjoyed and would recommend for anyone who enjoys this amazing cast and wants to have some good laughs.

By the way, you can say that Brooklyn Decker is a gorgeous girl, but even being that beautiful, when she's right next to Jennifer Aniston, she looks like out of Jennifer's league!

I would rate this movie with a 4/5

  1. This is probably my new favorite movie! I just think it is hilarious!

     
  2. Damon Says:
  3. At first, I wasn’t excited about seeing it because I’m not such a big fan of Adam Sandler. I actually enjoyed it since he didn’t do as many bonehead jokes as he usually does. He was great in Just Go With It though with Jennifer, and I enjoyed the less insulting jokes. I was watching it on my iPad not too long ago using Blockbuster @Home. I usually watch movies on the Hopper that I bought when I’m at home, but sometimes I will watch movies on my laptop or new iPad. The best thing about it is that I can stream anywhere I am, whether it’s at DISH where I work, or while I am around town. Hopefully he does these kinds of movies more in the future.
