This film isn't funny. It's not dark, comical, interesting, impressive or groundbreaking. Not that it should be any of those things. It's supposed to be a comedy.

Not that it should be any of those things. It's supposed to be a comedy. Adam Sandler hasn't always been impressive to me, but for God's sake at least try. It's not the worst movie out there, and if you wanna watch this, then fine. It's just not a good piece of movie by any means. It's not like it has to be funny all the time. If you like it, fine, but it's stupid. And not the good kind!… Expand

I overall did not get a great many laughs out of this movie. I laughed maybe a total of about 5 times throughout this whole film. But i guess that I'm just not a big fan of Dennis Dugan anymore.

Terrible film, with a horrible, grating kid with a fake English accent in it. Jennifer Anniston is fairly likeable I guess (thats the "1" in '1 out of 10). Sandler dials it in, everyone else is either annoying, unfunny or both. Avoid.

The greatest comedic actors of all time could be in a movie but unless the writing is good, it doesn't work. Sometimes Hollywood takes a couple of popular actors, such as Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston, and knows the public will pay to see it, even if the script is awful, like this one. I saw Hall Pass a couple of nights ago and that was the funniest movie of all time compared to this one. save your money.… Expand

“Just Go with It” is another step down for Adam Sandler’s career. It starts inside the lethargic world of Sandler and ends within the tired formula of the romantic-comedy genre. It’s a long, slow slide from crudeness to mediocrity. The morons“Just Go with It” is another step down for Adam Sandler’s career. It starts inside the lethargic world of Sandler and ends within the tired formula of the romantic-comedy genre. It’s a long, slow slide from crudeness to mediocrity. The morons that are the film’s characters are appalling upon the moment of their introduction. Unfunny and mentally incompetent, these people roam around the movie’s dead plot until it’s time for them to learn their life lesson while somehow finding a way to remain stupid.

Most of the film’s first half is devoted to Adam Sandler’s compulsion to fool around. Most of the people are around him should be either a hateful jerk or a dumb stereotype, so his character would blend in with the crowd. He plays a rich plastic surgeon, Danny Maccabee. Danny’s heart was broken many years ago. As a coping mechanism, he pretends to be a depressed loser in front of pretty women. His life is so miserable that the women have no choice but to sleep with him just to cheer him up.

One night, he meets a cute blonde named Palmer. His pre-planned lies result in their physical intimacy. He wakes up in the morning convinced that Palmer and himself are destined to be together… forever. Danny is apparently delusional enough to base his conviction on a one night stand. Coincidentally, Palmer is dumb enough to agree with Danny.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. In Hawaii, Danny Maccabee meets his own kind, a pig, no doubt, meant to accost him, but the charging wild boar instead attacks Eddie(Nick Swardson), Danny's cousin, while he and the rest of the hiking party gets away. It would've served Danny right had the pig reached this lying sociopath, but the deserving target escapes, just like how he escapes the bigger picture that the film as a systematic whole circumvents. Adam Sandler plays a womanizer, a Beverly Hills plastic surgeon who wears a prop wedding ring in order to sleep with duped women, gullible enough to buy his sob stories about an abusive wife. In Gene Saks' "Cactus Flower", the 1969 film adapted from the Abe Burrows' Broadway play, Walter Matthau plays the same sort of cad, a dentist who avoids commitment by employing the same ruse as Danny, until, like the fellow medical professional, he meets the right woman(played by Goldie Hawn), in which case, the fake life that he set out for himself, suddenly becomes an inconvenience. Whereas "Just Go With It" takes great pains to account for Danny's boorish behavior, the Saks film(written by Billy Wilder stalwart L.A.L. Diamond) makes no apologies about Julian's duplicity, nor claims on the dentist being a particularly nice guy. At the outset, Toni attempts suicide, because unlike its callow remake, "Cactus Flower" has the decency to acknowledge the ramifications that come with lying, the falsehoods which Julian perpetuates to simplify his love life. In "Just Go With It", an extended prologue shows how Danny's bride-to-be had broken the big-nosed Jew's heart on their wedding day, so when he sets in motion to bamboozle Palmer into thinking that a divorce to Katherine(his assistant at the practice) is imminent, we're supposed to root for him, because as the film plainly states, he's an underdog getting even with the female race entire. Adding insult to injury, Palmer, as she's written, is the stereotypical dumb blonde, a schoolteacher who never questions the preposterous scenarios that Danny and his co-conspirators throw at her; most galling of all, the explanations behind his fake daughter's **** accent, followed closely by the ludicrous occupation that Katherine's fake boyfriend invents, complete with a worse Swedish accent. Since Palmer(played by Brooklyn Decker) is a ten, so blatantly more attractive than the loser she gets saddled with, the filmmaker takes the statuesque blonde down a peg, making her out to be more foolish with every lie that strings this woman's heart along, all in the name of farce, as if physical beauty itself warranted punishment. "Just Go With It" treats her like an adulteress, a sex bomb who sleeps with married men on the beach, but far from being a femme fatale, the woman teaches for a living, and sure enough, her hard-rocking bod belies a maternal and nurturing carriage. It's open season on the babe because there's the presumption that somebody who looks like a Sports Illustrated swimsuit model, can't possibly have any feelings like normal people. Similar to "Cactus Flower", the patriarchal bent glares brightest throughout the final act, in which Danny never faces any consequences for his elaborate deceptions, since Palmer, with her infinite hotness, just moves on to the next man after the plastic surgeon chooses his assistant. In essence, the film lets Danny off the hook without having to offer Palmer a well-deserved apology. Had she truly loved him, "Just Go With It" would have a harder time covering up Danny's misogyny. The film "Just Go With It" most reminds me of is Neal LaBute's "In the Company of Men".… Expand

Sandler was always hit or miss for me, and in this movie he's mean and not funny. I liked Aniston in friends, but most of her movie roles are alike. I think she's better suited for a sitcom. Decker is beautiful, and a smart way for producers to lure in unsuspecting men to a terrible movie. My advice to guys is to just google her pictures and save yourself the time and money to see this. I was hoping for much better.… Expand

It is quite stupid and has way too many gross out gags to even be considered good. But you laugh every once in a while even though you feel wrong doing it. I give this movie 29%.

There are exactly two good things about this film. The first is that the sound track is made up of almost all Police songs. The second good thing is the children who play Jennifer Aniston's children.

What an awful rom-com. Did any of the people who wrote positive reviews even see this movie. Every rom-com Jennifer Anniston has been in over the last few years has been terrible, and this is no exception.

In every movie, she acts like the good lost puppy; has a hang dog face, who's always the other woman that gets taken for granted; but magically, triumphs in the end. Are you telling me that any man on physical appearance alone would choose Jen over Brooklyn? C'mon, please! If you believe that then I have a BRIDGE I want to sell to sell you. But that's exactly what this lame movie is about. Adam Sandler doesn't even have one funny line to say. This movie is so bad that I was longing for Rob Schneider screaming out his usual Adam Sandler movie "YOU CAN DO IT" but he never appeared on camera. Avoid!… Expand

The attempts at humour make me cringe and the whole vacation part of the film just seems like an excuse for the actors and crew to go on vacation. Adam Sandler still feels like he's playing the same character he plays in all his other movies so to say his performance is getting stale would be an understatement. The only reason I don't regret watching this movie is that when someone says they've seen the worst movie ever, I can say "you clearly haven't seen Just Go With It"… Expand
