Movie review: Just Go With It

I got a chance to see an advance screening of the Adam Sandler-Jennifer Aniston comedy Just Go With It on Thursday and I enjoyed it. It had a lot of funny moments, more than what you see in the previews. Jennifer's character is really likable and her two kids in the movie are real finds. Sure, there's a lot of over-the-topness because the whole premise of the movie is built on Adam's character lying about being married and of course, one lie piles on another and so on... But as long as you don't analyze it too much (my friend & I started to) and just go with it (ha ha), I think it's pretty good. Predictable, yes, but still pretty good. My only complaint is that Adam seems to be talking to the women's breasts the entire movie and I found that pretty annoying. Maybe he isn't, maybe he's just not making eye contact but it certainly looks like that's what he's doing. And I guess that would be in character for him to do that but then again, it would also be in Jennifer's character to call him out for that and she didn't.
