Just Go with It

The first hour is excruciating, but when the chaos shifts to Hawaii and Nicole Kidman appears, it all starts to make sense, the jokes suddenly become funny and the useless characters become marginal. If you can stand the hula hula competition, believe me, you won't know where to look, because you'd be surprised to know that Nicole and Jennifer Aniston are more attractive than ever and the presence of some awkward Sports Illustrated cover beauty in a small role really can't mess them up. Go Girls. (23/01/2015)

In a small metaphor, it's about the most luxurious vacation, where the sun never shines fully. And yet if the script hadn't pushed the most far-fetched plot line to the forefront, the ratings would have climbed possibly even to the highest marks. Adam Sandler surprises with his inventive moderation, and when he invites the fun-loving Jennifer Aniston and fantastically unbearable Nicole Kidman along for the ride, I simply have to admire him. But the whole fanciful fairytale about the family is something so stupidly exaggerated that I still can't believe it. And yet, for example, the little outspoken girl with the British accent is an invaluable character. A conflicted 70%. (18/08/2011)

I tend to have mixed feelings when watching comedies with Adam Sandler. They always make me cringe, they always feature a character who cracks jokes intended for viewers with lower intelligence, and they are always more or less predictable. Then again, I always have a good laugh. This time, Jennifer Aniston was also cast in the film, which was a real hit. The older she gets, the better and I’ll even say prettier she is. I enjoyed her part the most. All in all, it was a breezy feel-good comedy, which made me laugh, and that is what I expect from a comedy. I was satisfied and I’ll watch it again sometime.

Sandler is amazing! hen he's bored, he packs up two shirts, a couple of friends, two obnoxious kids and one of the hottest 40-somethings in the world and goes to Hawaii for a couple of weeks, where one of the least talented comedy directors will dutifully film it all; what's more, it makes him an incredible amount of money. Not to sound sarcastic, but yes, it's a film about something that very much resembles a turd, but yes, I had fun with it, and I had as much fun with the actors in that amazing setting as I've had in a long time with any other similarly-themed film (since, I don’t know, 50 First Dates). Unfortunately, it still has a bunch of annoying parts and the story is almost non-existent, so there’s no choice but to watch it once in a good mood and avoid it in the future. Overall, though, it’s quite alright. (01/12/2016)

Sure, it's not original, there are clichés, but you know what? It all works as it should. An unpretentious romantic comedy that hopefully won't offend anyone's sensibilities, it's enjoyable and entertaining. A great thing to relax to. Finally, after a long time, a comedy where I didn't have to feel embarrassed at what the actors were doing. Plus, Sandler and Aniston looked good together, so there was nothing to be upset about. I enjoyed it within the genre. (13/09/2012)
