Just Go With It


Had another good time with Enzo, Joebert and Lecel yesterday. Chui wasn't able to make it so it was just the four of us. The last time we went out on a movie date (we watched "Little Fockers") it was Joebert who was not around.

We watched in Trinoma Cinema (again!), same cinema (Cinema 7) where Little Fockers was shown, and this time its with Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston comedy film. Though there were other movies shown which includes "Bulong", "My Valentine's Girl", "127 Hours", "The Mechanic", "Vanishing in 7th Street" and "The Rite" but we decided to watch "Just Go With It" because I have watched already the three movies that they wanted to watch. Enzo and I wanted Jason Statham's The Mechanic but the two ladies (assuming Joebert is a real lady hehe) with us didn't want the action flick. With my brainwashing power I was able to convince them to watch Adam Sandler's movie.

The film was of course funny, what would you expect from Adam Sandler (though he had one serious movie in the past)?. As what said in the movie, it was pretty stupid but just go with it. The movie didn't require you to think, you just need to go with each scene and laugh the whole time. There was no room for you to be inspired or to learn from what they went through except of course not to tell too many lies but everyone knows that.

For anybody interested to know about the plot of the film here it is. Danny (Sandler) is a surgeon who always tells women that he is married to take advantage of them. It was a pretty safe move for him to hook up and break up. But when he met the super hot 23-yr old Palmer (Brooklyn Decker) who doesn't want to be with married man, he thought Palmer was the right woman for him. So he went a head and live with this piled up lies. He asked his longtime friend and personal assistant Katherine (Jennifer Aniston) to pretend as his wife to win Palmer's heart and you probably know what will happen next. It's too predictable. What surprised me in the film is Nicole Kidman's role and the little Bailee Madison. Thought Nicole would just make a cameo in the film, didn't know that she had more scenes and she is really stunning, very beautiful as always, and really funny. Bailee on the other hand started to get more attention than any other kids star in Hollywood and she is really good, seen her in two movies last year "Letters To God" and "Conviction". Brooklyn Decker is super hot, I can still picture her out with some of her scenes. Meanwhile Jennifer Aniston and Adam Sandler are still in with the usual role they get, nothing new.

'Just Go With It' is not bad a movie if you are looking for fun without expecting too much from its plot or actors. It's something that you would enjoy the most when you go out with friends or family probably. (2 stars out 5)
