JUST GO WITH IT (2011)

My Score

 Honestly speaking I expected much more than what this movie actually delivered for the simple reason of the wonderful cast. Adam Sandler, Jennifer Aniston and Nicole Kidman in one movie? And how can it be this bad I ponder. It’s not the worst romantic comedy ever but all you can gain is some simple laughs after a long 117 minutes. It’s like it just sucked 2 hours of my life time for nothing. 

Danny is a past middle aged plastic surgeon who just met a 23 year old girl. For some reasons (which ‘cannot ‘be explained in a short review) he ends up convincing to her that he is about to get divorced. And he gets his assistant Katherine to pose as her soon to be X wife and her children as his children. The stunt goes uber crazy when everyone decides to go to Hawaii for a vacation. And Danny and Katherine start to realize their emotional side in the middle of all this.

What are good about ‘Just go with it’ are the little funny moments. Some jokes are quite rude to be frank but can give you a good laugh. The two kids do a pretty fantastic job than the adults somewhat. 

And there is plenty to talk about what’s bad about this flick. The plot itself is a failure. It’s vague and doesn’t really build any heat as it should be. And the phase of the movie is quite boring. It drags in some scenes unnecessarily and where it should slow it quickly cuts to the next scene. And as I mentioned before it’s too long. Then the acting is bad. It’s nothing like Sandler and nothing like Jennifer. Don’t know what really went wrong but it’s just not right. 

This movie doesn’t cut the deal even by showing some hot babes in bikinis.After some time all I can think about is was when this will end so that I can release myself from this burden.
