Good entertainment, funny.

Reviewed in the United States on December 15, 2017

Another Adam Sandler Movie... if you like his movies you know what to expect. Good, funny, not the best ever, but good. So stop saying its a remake of the same movie over and over. It is just his style of movies. I prefer his movies to the Seth Rogen movies which only makes jokes about farts, and say the F word like a million times. Better something funny and ok to watch with family.

Watch only if the grass is already grown and the paint is already dry.

Reviewed in the United States on July 16, 2019

I know it’s not meant to be a serious piece but it seemed hard to get through. While theirs is an unlikely pairing, Aniston and Sandler genuinely seem to like each other which helps the idea of them as a couple.
The really unbelievable choice is Sandler’s love interest, about 20 years his junior, where there is simply zero screen chemistry.
The story is neither hilarious nor compelling and the characters are flat and underdeveloped. Particularly obnoxious are the buddy with a stupid German accent any moron could see through and the young daughter whose horrible wavering cockney imitation and perpetual gosh-darned spunk would make Mickey Rooney and Shirley Temple walk out of the theatre in high dudgeon.

What a Pleasant Surprise!

I just wanted something lighthearted and fun to escape for a couple of hours, and I enjoyed this a lot more than I expected to. If you like Adam Sandler movies like The Wedding Singer, 50 First Dates, Pixels, etc, I think you'll like this, too. Full of silliness, fun, and physical comedy, it's a farcical tale told by beautiful people in beautiful scenery. Not a bad way to spend an evening, frankly.

One caveat/FYI: there was a joke toward the end at the expense of an LGBT character that I didn't care for/thought was in questionable taste.

Cute story, with a great background in Hawaii

Reviewed in the United States on April 13, 2018

I started watching on TV channel but hated the long commercials. The hubby suggested that I rent in on Amazon. So, I did. Cute story with some funny lines Great back ground in Hawaii. Seems Adam Sandler loves to go to Hawaii to film movies. A young doctor finds out that his bride to be didn't really want to marry him for him, just for the job he was going to be a heart surgeon. Take about gold digging tramp. Then leaves and at a bar gets laid and decides to pretend he is married and having troubles with his wife, so he can continued to get laid. The typical gotta lie to look good and to win whomever or whatever and brings in others to help them lie. One verse that Jennifer Aniston says. "I've got to have note cards to keep up with all of your lies." Or something to that effect. Funny though

FUN ROM/COM, but an interesting side to Adam Sandler

Reviewed in the United States on August 6, 2019

Verified Purchase

Definitely a romantic comedy, and while Adam had some great lines, he almost played straight man to the other actors.

Jennifer Aniston and Adam Sandler played well off each other and there were some silly, but pretty funny scenes from the other actors. A surprise to see Dave Matthews show up and thought he did a great job at playing, well, I don't want to add a spoiler!

Do watch for the scene with the sheep though! I am SURE no animals were harmed during that scene, you can tell most of it was a sheep dummy, but just slapstick quirky.

If you like rom-coms, you'll like this

I like rom-coms and this is a good one. The com (comedy) part is a little erratic but the rom (romantic) component is solid. I neither like nor dislike Adam Sandler or Jennifer Aniston in general but liked them both very much in this. It's a fun, inoffensive show.

Rented this for my kids who love Adam Sandler movies- I knew it was rated PG-13 but figured it was ok. There were a few parts we skipped over but in general it was a cute movie, not super kid friendly but they enjoyed it

I thought Adam Sandler and Drew Berrymore were the cutest on set couple with an amazing chemistry, they still are and still my favorite. But man does Jennifer Aniston have that chemistry with Adam Sandler. This is a funny movie and they make the cutest on set couple too! I would love to see another movie with these two! I really enjoyed this movie.

Jennifer shines at last

Reviewed in the United States on July 30, 2011

This is a totally silly comedy that by any measure should'nt rate many stars. However, with the charming and beautiful Jennifer Aniston around, somehow the corny scenes are more interesting.
For years (and years?), Jennifer A. made the same film, year after year; romantic comedies with the same plot and basically the same characters. Finally, for her fans (I am one; could you guess?), she made a comedy for women and men, harkening back to her roots on Friends and not the prudish movies that used to be her milieu.
If you want totally escapist silly comedy, and/or love Jennifer Aniston, then ya gotta get this. I didn't even mention her co-star...if you like his comedies, then no doubt you already own this...

Not quite as Devlin as I expected

Reviewed in the United States on January 19, 2012

Verified Purchase

Not that I've broken it down in exact mathematics, but I wager that Adam Sandler is batting about .25 in his film career. Meaning that every fourth film he churns out doesn't actually hurt to watch. For every good WATERBOY, THE WEDDING SINGER, and 50 FIRST DATES, there are, four times over, grotesque head scratchers like JACK & JILL, LITTLE NICKY, and YOU DON'T MESS WITH THE ZOHAN. Which brings us to JUST GO WITH IT, which I'm actually going to rate as an above-average romantic comedy, 3 (maybe 3.5) out of 5 stars' worth. JUST GO WITH IT is loosely adapted from the 1969 classic CACTUS FLOWER, and maybe imitation isn't the best form of flattery. This remake isn't quite as good.

At least there's the stunning Brooklyn Decker to make googoo eyes at. Sandler plays 40-something Danny Maccabee, a talented plastic surgeon who once had his heart broken and now routinely prowls on them naive hotties. Danny is an average-looking schmoe and so has to rely on his fake wedding ring and made-up bad marriage to gain sympathy and interest from the ladies. It's pretty underhanded, yeah, and it's hard to swallow the gullibility of his marks. It's as if you say, "Hey, look at the dead birds!" And these girls look up.

When he meets lovely 6th grade math teacher Palmer (Decker) and they spend a night on the beach, the smitten Danny believes she might be the one. But surface now, you complications. Palmer finds the wedding ring in Danny's jeans pocket. A scrambling Danny claims that, yes, he is married but that his divorce is almost final. A doubting Palmer demands to meet the wife. Palmer is the kind of girl that when you say "Look at the dead bird" she will look at the ground.

Here's Jennifer Aniston who plays Katherine, Danny's loyal, bespectacled nurse assistant and single mother of two, and it's not at all a stretch that Danny would approach her to pose as his estranged wife. Of course, she agrees. Of course, she meets Palmer and inadvertently lets drop that she has two kids. Palmer, who adores kids, now wants to meet the kids. Somehow, this party of pretense relocates to a weekend in Hawaii. Along the way, Danny's cousin Eddie (Nick Swardson) invites himself and passes himself off as Katherine's fiancé "Dolph Lundgren." And this Dolph Lundgren happens to have a Colonel Klink German accent and is into sheep husbandry or something ovine-related, anyway. This, thinks Sandler, is brilliant farce.

Honestly, no one but Paul Rudd and John Cusack should be doing this sort of mildly risque romantic comedy. Sandler, Jack Black, and Seth Rogen are on a whole different and subservient level. I don't think JUST GO WITH IT is all that bad, considering. But maybe that's just the inner frat boy talking. There's a sweetness in this film that's trying to get out. The gags aren't nearly gross enough to threaten Apatow's self-esteem. Sandler does tone down his shtick, and that's good. Aniston is engaged and amused, but she isn't given any good lines to work with. But her being there rights the ship some. Brooklyn Decker also isn't given much to do other than be nice and wholesome and naturally sexy, and one wonders how she would've fared had the writers written her a more subversive role. But there are enough laughs. I got a big chuckle out of Rachel Dratch's patient with the roaming eyebrow and Kevin Nealon's guy whose face is BOTOXed to the max. Expect other juvenile sight gags such as mismatched fun bags and huge honking schnozzes and, this being a Sandler vehicle, some potty humor. Nicole Kidman is game as Aniston's competitive sorority rival and Dave Matthews is here acting instead of creating music. Dave Matthews' character supposedly invented the iPod. As you can see, in this movie, lie builds upon lie. It's like the Jenga of deceit.

The DVD's bonus stuff:

- Cast's Audio Commentary (with Adam Sandler & Nick Swardson and a filmmaker or two)
- Director Dennis Dugan's Audio Commentary
- 5 Deleted Scenes (totaling 00:04:52 minutes)
- Blooper Reel (00:04:38 minutes)
- "The Perfect Couple: Jen and Adam" (00:05:50 minutes)
- "Shooting Hawaii" (00:05:33 minutes)
- "Dolph- Not the One from ROCKY IV" (00:06:10 minutes)

I have to say, I really didn't want to see this movie. My father kept pushing me to watch it saying it was really funny. I finally caved and saw it. What. A. Surprise. I enjoyed this movie so much, I watched it twice, laughing just as hard the second time. Nick Swardson and his Austrian identity was HILARIOUS. "Sheep Shipper"- haha, I'm laughing just thinking about it. The acting was solid. Both Jennifer Aniston and Adam Sandler were great. The two child actors that played Jennifer Aniston's kids were so talented. Nicole Kidman also made an unexpected appearance as Jennifer Aniston's frenemy.
I HIGHLY recommend this movie for people who want something to make them laugh for 110 minutes.

Good movie, some over the top silly parts though...

Reviewed in the United States on October 6, 2019

I like Adam Sandler and Jennifer Anniston together. They have great chemistry! The movie had some silly, just plain dumb parts which turned me off a bit, but I guess that's an Adam Sandler slapstick thing that he does sometimes. I watched this because I watched the movie Murder Mystery (or something like that) with the two of them in it and I enjoyed it.
