This movie is HILARIOUS!!! Easy the best comedy I have seen in a long long time. Everything is really well done, and even though the ending is obvious as anything you just REALLY enjoy the ride. Kind of like life, you know the ending but you gotta know how you get there. If you don't see this movie, then I just pity you. You'd be missing out on something that is just great. I came to Amazon immediately after watching the movie to try to place a preorder...IT'S THAT GOOD!!!!!

I went to see the movie with modest expectations, especially since some reviews haven't been overly kind to it. However, I as well as the 4 other people who saw it with me found it uproariously funny and sometimes even sweet. I really enjoy Adam Sandler in most of his films, and although this is a comedy, in this role he also displayed his sweet side much like he did in the Wedding Singer. He is actually a very good and expressive actor whose dramatic chops are underrated in many ways. And of course, I am a huge fan of the wonderful Jennifer Aniston, and she did a superb job here. There were also some other surprises....Brooklyn Decker was sweet, likable and relatable even beyond her obvious physical attributes. Nicole Kidman showed up in a character who was a bit over the top, but being a huge fan of her as well, I enjoyed this turn as we don't get to see her do comedy that often. Not every role needs to be deadly serious, after all. She had a lot of fun with this one and she was great to watch. Dave Matthews played her husband, and he was surprisingly good as well...perhaps he has a new career ahead of him in films. The only character that was too over the top and a bit obnoxious was the fellow who played Adam's long-time friend. Nothing about this guy was at all believable or particularly likable and you wanted to just swat him away as he was just downright silly and annoying, and he didn't really add much to the plot except as a necessary diversion device here and there. The Hawaii scenery (a lot of it filmed around and in the Grand Wailea in Maui) was beautiful, of course. I don't really want to get overly picky about this film. It was not meant to be highbrow cinema, but it was consistently funny and very enjoyable, definitely a film I plan to buy when it is released on DVD. Go see it, you'll like it.

I got a great kick out of this movie. my gut hurt I was laughing so hard. It had a lot of laughs and a few heart warming parts. I love ad-lib and sarcasm and even though it was scripted, the dialog had such a ad-lib feeling hints the title "JUST GO WITH IT". I'd see it again, Ill buy the DVD. ... oh and Dave Matthews!!! great member of the cast.

From my wife Sarah: If you want to have fun, relax and have some laughs, this very entertaining movie is just the thing. I stayed away from it for quite a while because of the mixed reviews. When we had run out of movies to see in the theater, we chose this as a last resort. It was so enjoyable! Don't wait to see it.

I won't go over the plot as it's already been done by others, but here's what I liked about this movie:

1. It was funny. Okay we didn't laugh non-stop, but that's because there was a real plot, with real character development. Still there were many very fun surprises and big laughs. I smiled through much of the movie.

2. Sandler was great, Jennifer Aniston was great. Not only are they funny, but they can really act. The entire cast was really good. Sandler's goofy friend sidekick was hilarious, the children were dynamic and funny. Kevin Nealon had an absolutely hilariuos bit. Nicole Kidman was perfect as Jennifer's competitive and not so nice friend.

3. The plot was very different and interesting. Although there's a kind of predictable ending, it's still a fun ride to get there.

The only thing I would have liked to see just a bit different was more heat between Sandler and Aniston. While their relationship was really developed and believable, they didn't seem to have that strong chemistry.

Regardless, I strongly recommend this movie for anyone who enjoys comedy as well as romantic comedy.

Hilarious, funny, feel good, make you laugh kind of movie! Cute love story and comedy! Can't wait til it comes out on DVD so I can watch it again! Jennifer Aniston is beautiful and Adam Sandler is so funny. They are so good together in this movie!

Hmm, Adam Sandler. You either love him or you hate him. And I am always leery of watching films with him in it with my teenagers because you never know how inappropriate it will be. There is inappropriate funny and then there is inappropriate awkward. But I didn't watch this film with my teens so I wasn't really paying attention to that.

Sandler has been in a lot of duds, as has Jennifer Aniston, but I must say that I enjoyed them in this. Though I didn't have high expectations. Actually, I had no expectations at all.

The movie is about a womanizing plastic surgeon, Danny (Adam Sandler), who falls for someone much younger than him (Palmer boringly and annoyingly played by Brooklyn Decker) but ends up getting trapped by his fibs. So, somewhat unbelievably, he, Palmer, his supposed ex-wife Katherine, well-played by Jennifer Aniston, her two kids and his friend, zanily and irritatingly played by Nick Swardson (to the point where I was cringing), all end up going to Hawaii together. Nicole Kidman plays Katherine's university rival Devlin, but I don't really care for her in this. I didn't realize until the end that Devlin's husband was played by singer/musician Dave Matthews; not really much to say about his character.

The start of the film is ok but it gets funnier. Even though it ends up being cliched, I must say that I did enjoy it. It was funny in parts and touching in parts. But my husband would have hated it.

To me, the star of this movie was Bailee Madison who plays Maggie, Katherine's daughter. She is a precocious wanna be actress; with her fake accents, her sensitivity and humor, I thought she was phenomenal. Watch out for this one!

This is probably one of the worst movies I've ever seen. They apparently tried to make it "funny" by just adding more outrageous, totally stupid things. The whole plot idea, that he is a chronic liar to women, is pretty much a rip off of his character at the beginning of "50 First Dates" but much less funny and a lot more disgusting. In this he continues to lie after he meets a girl he really cares about and has the perfect opportunity to tell her the truth. Instead he continues to pile lie on top of lie, dragging his assistant and her two less than charming children into it, but I guess that was the only way the writers could think of to make the story continue so that they could make the movie. The shopping scene to get a makeover for Jennifer is a ripoff from "Pretty Woman" I noticed that they threw in Hawaii just to try to make it more interesting and that's another rip off of "50 First Dates" which was filmed there. I guess Sandler just wanted to go to Hawaii again. Well, he should have just taken a vacation there.I'm very surprised that Jennifer Anniston ever agreed to be in this totally classless movie. I can't imagine it ever sounded good even on paper.

Seriously, the movie sucked. Period. I like Sandler. He makes me laugh. The Waterboy is still a favorite of mine, just so you know where I'm coming from. No laughs here. There are a couple of scenes in the beginning of this film that are cute, but the thing nose-dives very quickly. The writing and directing are horrible. The plot makes no sense. It's not funny; it's actually very annoying, and so are almost all of the characters. And it just goes on FOREVER. I'm convinced that the 5 star reviews I've read on here are plants. They HAVE to be. No one can honestly feel that this is a good comedy.

I'm not usually that critical of Adam Sandler movies. You know what you're getting, and what you usually get is reasonably amusing, somewhat crude, and oddly sweet. Just Go With It made me almost laugh once, cringe repeatedly, and wonder what is wrong with the people who put this movie together.

Sandler plays a plastic surgeon who pretends to be married to get laid. He meets Palmer, who is attractive but not as hot as the movie makes her out to be, not very smart, and for some reason attracted to Adam Sandler. Aniston plays Sandler's assistant, a single mother with two children, who gets roped into pretending to be Sandler's soon to be ex-wife.

The biggest problem with this movie is that Sandler's character was completely unlikeable. The guy was a huge scumbag, actually. The way he treated women was horrible, but the way he treated the kids was often worse. He was supposed to have an underlying heart of gold, but it didn't really come through. The scene in which he taught the boy to swim was nice, but it came shortly after a scene in which he shoved the girl down into mud. It was hard to see what any woman saw in him, aside from his ability to pay for things. Aniston was fine, though at times her attempts at comedy seemed to involve her channeling the ghost of Walter Matthau in terms of phrasing and timing. The movie had a great many scenes where it seemed like the cast was making it up as they went along, and it was more awkward than funny. Add to that repeated gratuitous shots of Brooklyn Decker's body, which just made me feel embarrassed for her, because seemed so much like she was just in the movie to provide a pretty backdrop. The plot holes aren't even worth mentioning, though this was another movie where you were amazed and frustrated by the characters' inability to lie with a modicum of intelligence. I saw this movie for free, and I still feel like I should be somehow reimbursed for the way it wasted my time.

I'm so disappointed. I absolutely love Jennifer Aniston, and I've always enjoyed her movies, so I assumed I'd like this one, too. Alas, this is one of the worst movies I've seen in a long time. Ms. Aniston's performance is OK, as is the performance of Brooklyn Decker. However, the other main actors' performances are awful. The script is horrendous. I really wish I hadn't wasted my money. Just really, really bad.
