Decent comedy thriller. Unfairly panned by the critics, I thought. It's true it does lack a little something but Cruise and Diaz are on top form, the locations are gorgeous and the Blu Ray picture is simply superb. I'd mark this one as a perfect rainy day movie. Give it a go.

Luke brings it home.
Gone are the days when I kept up with the long defunct CMT Europe on Sky! Luke Bryan is relatively new to me, though I understand this is his third CD. It's decent 'modern' country. Bryan has a strong, warm voice and helps write most of these 13 hooky tunes that are ideal for radio. I was impressed enough with this CD to order his previous album.

Little Cactus Flower
This Adam Sandler comedy was based on the screenplay of the Goldie Hawn comedy 'Cactus Flower'. Sandler plays a successful plastic surgeon who, due to a bad experience in his youth, fakes an unhappy marriage to get his conquests to take pity on him! Lovely! Actually, it's much better than that and Adam is quite happy until he meets a stunning school teacher (Brooklyn Decker) whom he assumes is 'the one'. So, his long-suffering assistant (Jennifer Aniston) agrees to be his 'wife' to help him secure the school teacher's affections.
'Just Go With It' isn't your typical Adam Sandler comedy. There are a few distasteful moments but the movie is really quite sweet and Aniston is extremely good in this role. True, no one will be shocked by the outcome but the movie is really very entertaining and I haven't even mentioned Nicole Kidman's excellent cameo!
Thoroughly trashed by critics upon it's cinematic release, 'Just Go With It' isn't perfect, but if you're in the mood for a rom com you could do far worse.
