Adam Sandler does it again!

Rating: 8/10 (11 February 2011)

For about a decade and a half now, Adam Sandler has entertained us with many fun comedies from Billy Madison, Happy Gilmore, to Mr. Deeds, Anger Management, to the more recent Grown Ups. He has done well with his newest comedy Just Go With It.
On his sixth collaboration with director Dennis Dugan, Sandler stars as Danny, a guy who was once hurt by his fiancé. When at a bar, he meets this girl who sees his wedding ring. This prompts him to make up a story of how he has a horrible wife. Since then, he has used that story on many girls and having dozens of no strings attached relations with many girls.
At a party, Sandler meets a girl named Palmer (played by Sports Illustrated swimsuit model Brooklyn Decker). Yes, she has very good looks and does a great job with this role showing that she has more than a pretty face and attractive body. After meeting and talking with her, Danny thinks that Palmer may be the one. However, she finds the ring and wants nothing to do with him, until he convinces her that he is getting divorced.
That is when Danny's assistant Katherine (Jennifer Aniston) comes in to the picture. This is one of the roles that Aniston is meant to play and she does great as the "future ex-wife", who is playing the part that Danny wants her to play.
As Danny continues to make up lie after lie, the story continues to be funny and interesting as it makes the audience wonder, "How is Danny going to get out of this mess?"
What I found funny in the story is that Danny is not the only one in the movie who is telling lies. At a hotel in Hawaii, Katherine runs into an old sorority sister named Devlin (played by the wonderful Nicole Kidman). Kidman does not have a whole lot of screen time, but she takes great advantage of her time as she great as this smug woman, who Katherine hates and is friends with at the same time. Devlin also tells lies to Katherine about what has gone on in her life.
I think what makes this movie fun is the crazy situations that the characters get themselves into as they keep making up lies and playing along. The movies has what you would expect from watching any Adam Sandler movie: Sandler being a goofball, Sandler having a love interest, crazy laugh out loud jokes, and hilarious situations. But what makes this one work is how well put together it is.
I really enjoyed the performances by Sandler, Aniston, and Kidman. Dugan shows that he is good at what he does best: making Adam Sandler movies.
