Adam Sandler's ""Just Go With It"" is one of those romantic comedies that leaves you feeling all warm and fuzzy inside. It's just the right amount of funny with a hint of romance. Adam Sandler plays Danny, a cardiologist in the making with a really big heart and an extremely large nose. After calling off his wedding with his cheating fiancee, Danny goes to a bar where he meets Joanna (a sexed-up Minka Kelly). She notices a wedding ring on his finger—the wedding ring from his scorned relationship he slipped on just moments before and unwittingly forgot to remove. Joanna's demeanor quickly changes. When asked about his wife, Danny creates a false marriage in which he's neglected and Joanna finds pity. She asks him if he wants to go somewhere and they leave the bar together. Danny decides that a wedding ring is an excellent tool for picking up chicks.
Fast-forward a few years and Danny has become a plastic surgeon, not a cardiologist, and has a much smaller nose. He's been a player for years with the help of his wedding ring trick. At a party Danny meets a hot girl named Palmer (Brooklyn Decker). They share a night together on the beach and she finds his wedding ring in his pocket. She refuses to listen to his explanation and leaves. Danny seeks advice from his office receptionist Katherine (Jennifer Aniston). Without a plan, Danny decides to visit Palmer at work to try to smooth things over. When Danny can't rectify the situation honestly, he lies and creates a fake wife, from whom he's getting a divorce. Katherine gets pulled into the lie, along with her kids. A fake wife quickly becomes a fake family and as the movie plays out, the lies only become more extravagant and hilarious.
Sandler has redeemed himself after the failure of ""Grown Ups,"" which was one of his more dry and boring productions. ""Just Go With It"" will undoubtedly make viewers laugh as Danny and Katherine create such intricate lies that they are forced to use note cards in order to keep things straight. Some of the funniest scenes come from unexpected plot twists. Although the story line was standard for a romantic comedy, the injection of slapstick humor and genuinely funny lines create some very original scenes.
However, like any Sandler production, the film contains some corny scenes. There's also a fair amount of breast jokes in the movie, which did not fail to include the cliché slow motion boob-bouncing scenes.
Twice Palmer is put into slow motion, for all to enjoy the hills of her silicone valley. Actually, in almost every scene Palmer is wearing something low cut. Aniston does not flaunt her 42-year-old-and-still-rockin' bod until about midway through the film, but in one scene, both women are in bikinis and the audience is allowed one last completely objectifying moment in which both women are wet and Aniston is, shall we say, nipply. The movie could have gotten the message across that Danny's character is shallow without so much boobage.
But the movie's funniest aspect is Danny's fake family, which the movie wouldn't be half as funny without. Some of the most amusing scenes come from the banter between the two children and Danny. In particular, his fake daughter Maggie (Baliee Madison) decides to capitalize on her newly acquired acting skills and talks with a British accent throughout most of the movie, allowing her to get away with cussing and saying some outlandish lines. Meanwhile, Danny's fake son Michael (Griffin Gluck) decides to go Mafioso throughout the film, making underhanded deals in order to get what he wants.
Although ""Just Go With It"" could be classified as your run-of-the-mill romantic comedy, it makes for a little more comedy than romance, which moviegoers will find highly entertaining. ""Just Go With It"" is the funniest movie since ""Forgetting Sarah Marshall"" and is definitely one of Sandler's best comedic productions yet.
