My friend was telling me that there is a new movie coming out or that is out I'm not sure which but it stars Jennifer Aniston and Adam Sandler. I would say about 50% of Adam Sandlers movies are good and the other half are bad. I thought this movie sounded like it would be good. Its a romantic comedy. But I guess its getting bad reviews so its probably not worth me wasting time to go and see. I attached a link to the site where I see that they are saying its not getting good reviews.

Regardless of what the reviewers think have you gone to see this movie and if so what did you think of it? If you havent gone yet will that review saying it wasent a good movie deter you from going to see it?

There are movies that are great to watch in the theater, and there ones that are not. This movie sounds like a wait-for-the-dvd to come out type.
I agree that some of Adam Sandler's movies are really good. Some are also really bad.
I saw a snipet of ET the other night while I was channel surfing. It was Joan Rivers dissing Jennifer Aniston. That her movies lacked significance (or something like that). This gave me second thoughts of wanting to watch 'Just go with it'.

I think Jennifer Anniston is a pretty good actress. Shes not the best acting actress but shes good. Shes quite pretty and has a great body so thats nice as well hehe. I never really mind watching a movie that she is in ;-) I agree with you completely on Adam Sandler. My favorite movie that he is in is The wedding singer. Drew Barrymore is one of my favorite actresses so any movie that she is in I love. To bad she isnt in this new movie but then again she and Adam Sandler were already in 2 movies together it might be kind of weird if they made a whole bunch of movies together.

Thats cool that you can relate to the movie because of the music. Its always great when a movie has an awesome soundtrack. I think the only songs I liked on it were the ones that Adam sang which was the one that was "somebody kill my please I want to die ..." however the rest of that went. I love that song lol it was such a funny part of the movie but I could totally relate to the words at the time. I was struggling with depression really bad at that time. My favorite song in the movie is the one adam sings to julia on the airplane ride I wanna grow old with you. I sing it all the time. Its so beautiful. I always cry at that part of the movie.

Hi!
Just watched yesterday, was the movie bad, oh boy.
When it's starting to become funny there are akwardness that you feel like the writer got and lost inspiration during writing the script.
There wasn't chemistry between the two and I felt Jennifer was thinking in something else while acting, she is a good actress most of the times but didn't feel her emotions in this one.

I want to see this because I love Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston! I do not normally get to go to theaters anyway unless it's like an epic movie (in my opnion). Like, I've seen all the Harry Potter movies in theaters, I saw the last Lord of the Rings in theaters, and we've seen at least the last 2 Pirates movies in theaters, and hopefully will see the next one as well. I also saw Hancock in theaters and Sherlock Holmes.. those weren't epic in my opinion, but it just so happened we were able to get out of the house and those seemed to be the best movies playing at the time.

Though I will admit that I haven't seen this movie, I have seen previews for it and it is something that I would like to see. I've also realized in the past that there have been a lot of movies that did not get good reviews that I really enjoyed and there have been movies that have had really good reviews that I just didn't care for at all. That said, I always tend to take the reviews on movies for a grain of salt.

Thats pretty much how I am. I like movies sometimes that most other people hate. Then my firends will tell me movies that they love and I'm like oh my gosh that was the worst movie I've ever seen. I still think that I would like to see this even if it isnt getting good reviews.

I am disappointed in the reviews for this movie. i am a huge fan of both adam Sandler and jennifer Aniston. Did the film not capture the interest it was going for? Did people not enjoy the humor of it? I guess it won't be long before the film goes to dvd.1 person likes this

Yes I was disappoited to hear its not getting good reviews as well as it looked like it would be good and I like the characters who star in the movie. Maybe sometime I will get to see it and review it for myself. I dont like watching a movie and have it wind up being a waste of time but I still would probably want to see this movie regardless of what the reviews said.

I saw it last week because I wanted to see a random movie. It's not the type of movie I usually go for so I can't say I was interested. I use to like Adam Sandler when he was on SNL but his movies are terrible these days. After seeing Grown Ups, I never thought I would walk into another Adam Sandler movie again.
Having said that, Just Go With It was not so bad. If critics were expecting more, then that is what truly surprises me. The only memorable parts are the rivalries between Jennifer Aniston and Nicole Kidman.
The most annoying part of it is Sandler's ego, which wants us to believe two lovely women would fall for him. Now that's ridiculous.

Haha thats true the critics shouldnt expect much out of adam sandlers movies. I'd say only about 50% of them are good. I didnt realize that Nicole Kidman was in this movie. You'd think with three well known actors that this movie would have been a big hit. Looks like they thought the actors could bring more to the movie then they thought bout what they were directing.

Well it is predictable yet entertaining. Most people know what kind of humor to expect walking into a Happy Madison film(a love story that leaves out the awkward feeling you get with your friends while watching with blunt "laugh-now" jokes). The majority of the story line is highly predictable and you don't see the "Adam Sandler Gang" as much as you'd hope! On the end note: I gave "Just Go With It" a 5 out of 10 for again the predictable story line. But if your looking for a good laugh with your significant other, and you enjoy mainstream, I would recommend at least checking it out!

I don't see any first run movies. I rent or buy DVD's sometimes. Having said that, I never see an Adam Sandler movie. I just don't like him. I like Jennifer Aniston ok. But I don't much care for romantic comedy either. I used to watch her on Friends. I don't think I've ever seen her in a movie, now that I think about it. I don't think she has much depth in the characters she plays does she? Isn't it always about the same type of character? She's a very pretty woman but I don't know much about her acting abilities. If I read bad reviews about a movie she was in I probably wouldn't want to see it.

I'm about 50/50 on Adam Sandler. Thats about how his movies are half are good and half arent. I never rent movies I dont have extra money to spend on things like that so I just borrow movies for free from the library. Once in awhile I will go to the movies on a date or a guy will bring a movie over for us to watch that he has rented.

Just Go with It is not that bad movie, the film does have it's moment. Just Go with It is not an usual Adam Sandler movie but still can be watched, for the story line Just Go with It has it does deliver the comedy it could have but still watchable ...
