Pleasantly surprised, but...

Rating: 5/10 (13 February 2012)

A Hollywood blockbuster rom-com starring Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston? Despite the duo's careers it'd be hard not having negative preconceptions about this movie and unfortunately, for the most part, they turned out to be true.
The storyline, as well as the dialogue, are slightly more fresh compared to other films from the same genre, however the turn of events is still easy to predict, apart from what-seems-to-me-as-a-psycho-girlfriend, Palmer, who weirdly enough keeps persisting to engage in all sorts of activities with Danny's (A. Sandler) fake wife and kids without feeling awkward at all in their company. Maybe I was brought up differently to others, but as a viewer I cannot help but to grab my head in disbelief when Palmer (B. Decker) comes up with half the stuff she does and none of the characters ever questions, nor claims it as simply pushing things too far.
With the weird stuff going this film's more of a dramatic comedy, rather than a romantic one, although the chemistry between Danny and Katherine (Aniston) is definitely something to look at. Aniston does a good job of containing Sandler's repetitive humour to a perfect amount, which results in genuine burst-out laughter on a handful of occasions while still maintaining quality jokes throughout the rest of the film.
You can bring your other half to 'Just Go with It' on a boring Tuesday afternoon to the cinema without feeling robbed by the movie industry, however if you're looking for something more in terms of entertainment, humour, etc. this film is not likely to deliver.
