A predictable and stale "comedy"

Rating: 4/10 (6 October 2011)

I used to like Adam Sandler's movies. Billy Madison, The Wedding Singer, even 50 First Dates. They were funny, and though they weren't in the least sense intellectually stimulating, they were at least entertaining. I can't say any of these things about Just Go With It. This is one of my least favorite movies of 2011, and that's no exaggeration.
This is a "brainless comedy," only without the comedy. The jokes are stale and have been done countless times in other, better movies. The plot is disjointed and unbelievable. The reason the audience suspends their disbelief is so they can be rewarded with comedy, or in the very least some form of entertainment, but when that isn't provided, all we are left with is a very pathetic Adam Sandler trying to impress some random woman so he can (I guess?) marry her. The characters are as dumb as can be, and none of the main actors Adam Sandler, Jennifer Aniston, or Brooklyn Decker share chemistry. It seems like none of the characters can think five minutes into the future, which has the potential to be funny if the audience wasn't expected to feel sympathetic towards Adam Sandler's character. Save your time, for this could very well be Adam Sandler's worst film yet.
