Quick Take: Just Go With It

Let me start by saying I only watched this movie because Nessa wanted to order it on Pay Per View. I am not really a fan of Jennifer Aniston and had no intention to watch the movie. I was pleasantly surprised that I loved the movie.

Aniston was great in this movie. She was charming as the mother and worked well with Sandler and the children. There were alot of small moments where she had such joy on her face which you don't see much in her acting. Especially the scene where Sandler's character teaches her son to swim.

Sandler was really good in the film. I enjoy most of his movies but it was refreshing to see his comedy grow outside of just stupid humor and adapt into a more adult yet still funny sense of humor. It fits him well. Brooklyn Decker did well in her role as well. Not a lot of people can pull off the move from being a model to being an actor and I don't see any Oscars in her future but I can see her doing well in romantic comedies and action flicks.

The kids they chose as the son and daughter were cute. The little girl using the British accent was great and the little boy did well in all the scenes he was in especially the Pizza Hut and the swimming scene. Nicole Kidman and Dave Matthews did a good job with their smaller roles and the scene with Dave Matthews picking up a coconut with his butt was awesome

The movie has a great running joke that in most movies would get tiresome but they pulled it off well because it was used in moderation and to show the chemistry between Sandler and Aniston. The relationship between them was built nicely. You get the feeling that they love each other early on in the film and when they realize they are in love it feels like a realistic moment of realizing you are in love with your best friend and you've always been in love with them.

The film had the regular romantic comedy montage of people pondering their feelings and considering their future. It wasn't anything special but it included a great mash up of Snow Patrol's "Chasing Cars" and The Police's "Every Breathe You Take"

The movie didn't reinvent the romantic comedy but it was delivered in a way that was very enjoyable.
