It all comes down to chemistry. And the two main stars of Just Go with It, Jennifer Aniston and Adam Sandler, thankfully, have chemistry to spare. Both actors have plenty of sheer likability and honest ease, as well as sparks in just the right places, which helps propel Just Go with It to its satisfying (if a bit predictable) conclusion. (Hollywood execs: Consider an update of Moonlighting starring these two.) If the premise, loosely based on the Goldie Hawn film Cactus Flower, stretches reality, the capability of the whole cast makes Just Go with It an enjoyable ride. Sandler plays Danny, a surgeon who falls for a much-younger bombshell, Palmer (swimsuit model Brooklyn Decker, a surprisingly natural actress). But when Palmer finds the fake wedding band that commitment-phobe Danny has used for his no-strings-attached previous relationships, the web of fibs begins. Danny asks his assistant, Katherine (Aniston), to pretend to be his soon-to-be-ex-wife, and Aniston plays it to the hilt. But soon Danny's wobbly house of cards includes Katherine's children--and, in the ultimate romantic-comedy trope, a group trip to Hawaii to work things out. The cast really is stellar, including very small supporting roles by Nicole Kidman and singer Dave Matthews, as an insufferable couple disliked intensely by Katherine. (Of course they end up in Hawaii with the gang, too.) Minka Kelly, Kevin Nealon, and Rachel Dratch also make memorable cameos. But it's Sandler and Aniston, along with the snappy direction by Dennis Dugan (Happy Gilmore, Big Daddy), who make Just Go with It one of the more romantic--and funny--romantic comedies in recent memory. Our advice: Sit back, and just go with it.Read full review
A prominent plastic surgeon meets the woman of his dreams only to find their future thrown into jeopardy when his playboy past comes back to haunt him. Danny (Adam Sandler) has a unique approach to picking up women -- in order to break the ice and gain their sympathy, he pretends to be stuck in an unhappy marriage. The instant he brandishes his wedding ring, the deal is all but cinched. But when Danny finally meets a woman (Brooklyn Decker) that he really would want to marry, he abandons his usual approach for something a bit more subtle. Incredibly, it works. But when she discovers the wedding band that he used to use as a pick-up prop, Danny attempts to cover his tracks by falling back on his tried-and-true divorce line. This movie is hilarious. It'll keep you laughing throughout the movie.Read full review
Again, the Sandman did it again! This guy is too funny. But I seriously bought this DVD for Jenn Aniston. Wow, what a woman! She's definitely my dream lady now. I mean, look at her! Wow, she looks better than the younger girl in this movie! Better! Wow, love Jennifer Aniston here. She's a goddess! Great story, good message, touching. And I can't believe the Sandman got to film in Maoui, HI, for almost half the film! Wow! And he also got Academy Award winner and another goddess, Nicole Kidman, to be in this! It's just a great movie.
I love Jennifer Aniston. It is a very funny movie. It also has one of the most beautiful Model/ Actress in it Brooklyn Decker!

When this movie was first released in theaters, I shrugged it off as Adam Sandler crap movie. I am not really a fan of his full body of work, but am learning to give this guy some credit. After seeing Chuck and Larry, I decided to give his movies a chance. I watched Anger Management and loved it too. Recently I was flipping channels and came across this movie. I decided that nothing else was worth wasting my time on. I gave it a chance and was hooked immediately. In fact, I felt compelled to buy this movie and have it as part of my collection. I have already begun recommending it to many people. Great Flick!! Anniston did a great job as well...I may see "The Millers," based on her performance in this movie.
