Languid romantic comedy
Story: Danny (Adam Sandler), a high-profile plastic surgeon wears a wedding ring, despite being unmarried. Why? Because it gives him the license to have umpteen affairs with pretty young things who surprisingly seem to have a yen for married men. Trouble begins when his hot and happening new girl friend, Palmer (Brooklyn Decker) wants to meet his non-existent wife and kids. Enter his nurse Katherine (Jennifer Aniston) who tries to masquerade as the boss' wife, until things begin to get really serious.
Movie Review: Okay, we know you get a feeling of deja vu after reading the synopsis. But more than that, we know you are feeling somewhat proud too. What? Is Hollywood now picking up ideas from Bollywood! The last you saw this story was when Salman Khan tried to woo Katrina Kaif by brandishing his assistant, Sushmita Sen as his wife in Maine Pyar Kyun Kiya....
Hang on. Director Dennis Dugan may never have even heard of apna David Dhawan. Because this one's a re-make of a French comedy which became a Broadway Play and then a Hollywood movie. So, we know who picked up the idea from where. It may not be original, but Just Go With It is actually an entertaining watch with a witty screenplay and a quirky chemistry between Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston. Aniston's metamorphosis from be-spectacled, scruffy-haired plain Jane to sexy bikini-clad diva has a charming growth curve, even as Adam Sandler's transformation to husband and daddy material tugs at your heart. Of course, Sandler, as usual, keeps it hammy and breezy, while Aniston is her usual easy, spontaneous self.
Just Go With It has a romantic track that grows on you. Just go for it
