Pleasantly surprised that it is as entertaining as it is.

Pretty bad approach for educated professionals, Adam Sandler is well-off L.A. plastic surgeon Danny Maccabee who almost got married when he was young, and didn't, but kept wearing the wedding band. He found that it helped him have a series of short-term relationships and one-night stands, well into his 40s.
But then he meets someone that really rings his bell, it is love at first sight, and for the first time in his adult life wants this relationship to work long-term. It is Andy Roddick's real-life wife, 20-something Brooklyn Decker as Palmer. But when Palmer sees his ring, instead of telling the truth, and this is where the "bad approach" comes in, he tells her he is married but about to divorce. He has his assistant, Jennifer Aniston as Katherine, pretend to be his wife, and pretend her name is Devlin. Who also happens to have 2 kids.
All this sets up a series of bargains and bribes to Katherine and the kids, Danny seems willing to spend any amount of money on the ruse, to keep Palmer in his good graces. And this has them end up in Hawaii where the real Devlin from Kathernie's past, Nicole Kidman as Devlin Adams, creates a series of additional ruses.
The whole escapade in Hawaii walks the fine line between being a totally stupid slapstick, and a fairly entertaining story. Fortunately it is closer to the latter, and we found ourselves laughing quite often.
SPOILERS: This kind of comedy usually has antagonists ending up together and that is what happens. Danny and Katherine finally realize that they love each other and just when Danny has successfully snared Palmer, he abandons the wedding and goes to Katherine, they kiss, and are destined to end up happily ever after.
