A good movie

Rating: 7/10 (28 February 2011)

Just Go With It reminds me of The Wedding Singer (which I don't like) and 50 First Dates (which I like). This movie and the other two are romantic comedies with Adam Sandler. Adam Sandler is rarely in romantic comedies, but he usually does well when he is. I normally hate romantic comedies, but I like Adam Sandler so I gave it a try. There were funny moments, but none of them were laugh out loud funny (the people in front of me at the movie theater apparently disagree). The love triangle was actually pretty interesting. Adam Sandler's character is attracted to a 20 something year old and to cover up his previous lies, he pretends that he has a wife (his secretary) and that they are breaking up. He also has trouble deciding who he loves more – his same age secretary or the 20 something year old. Some of the jokes are mean spirited such as the one with the lady that has an eyebrow that is up way higher than the other eyebrow and Adam Sandler's character throwing his secretary's daughter in the mud. I would be lying if I said that I didn't find the eyebrow jokes funny. The joke with the sheep dying was hilarious, but not laugh out loud hilarious. Sure, Adam Sandler's character did a horrible thing by lying and forming a fake family in order to get together with a 20 something year old, but he did right in the end. How did he do right?
