Tries to be two things, fails but not too bad

Rating: 2/10 (17 February 2011)

Sandler and company go back to the well that gave us all '50 First Dates', a quirky and funny Rom-Com. While '50' had some over the top moments, without them the film was still a good and solid romantic comedy.
Now think of 'Joe Dirt'. A funny comedy that does not pretend to be a romantic comedy.
Unfortunately, 'Just Go With It' tries to be both...and fails. Not terribly, but it goes off the rails halfway through and maybe recovers a bit, but not fully. I was just disappointed at this film, at times it felt like they just went with the first draft of the screenplay. Annoying characters which are supposed to be hilarious I suppose...but made me actually think of leaving. It got that bad at one point...
