Lies, damn lies and Adam Sandler films

Just Go With It (2011)

Directed by Dennis Dugan this film is based on a film based on a play based on a French play and stars Adam Sandlar, Jennifer Aniston, Brooklyn Decker and Nicole Kidman. A plastic surgeon lies about being married to a horrid wife to pick up women then finds a woman he wants to stay with and has to convince her he is getting divorced.

You could consider this film a massive triumph in that it is not as bad as the vast majority of Adam Sandler films but only just. The plot is fairly predictable, the protagonist is a bit of an arse hole and a lot of the humour is juvenile at best but at least the film manages the odd funny moment. I am not really sure what Nicole Kidman is doing taking a small part in a film like this and casting Jennifer Aniston as the “plain” one of of the lover triangle (because she wears glasses!) is not overly believable.

2/5
