Just Go with It---a Movie Review



It's
only the second month of the year but I think I have found the worst
movie of 2011--it certainly will be in the top 5 worst films though I
can't imagine it having that mush competition.

The
movie is based on a play (1965) and movie (1969) called "Cactus Flower"
the former starring Lauren Bacall, Barry Nelson and Brenda Vaccaro and the latter Ingrid Bergman, Walter Matthau and Goldie Hawn who won a best supporting actress Oscar for her role.  It is now called "Just Go With It" starring Jennifer Aniston in the Bergman/ Bacall role, Adam Sandler in the Nelson/Matthau part and Brooklyn Decker in the Vaccaro/Hawn role though I think they, the director and writers, thought she was
playing the Bo Derek role in "10" and like the rest of the cast is just a
pale imitation!




I
was a big fan of Aniston's when she was in "Friends" and then when she
went into films making small independent ones like "She's The One" and
especially "the Good Girl". It seems since she started making Hollywood
Studio films, unless she co-starred with big names and even then, her
films are keep on getting worse though in this one she does have a
second or two of showing the talent she had.

I am not, and never have been, a fan of Adam Sandler and this certainly doesn't make me one. I know walking into his films
there will be poop, crotch, boobs and homophobic jokes and situations
and there are plenty of all of them here.

Nicole Kidman was either blackmailed by the director Dennis Dugan or owed someone a big favor but I don't think she will ever mention
this film as a 'credit'. I will be very happy to never see Nick Swardson again and Bailee Madison as Aniston's daughter gives one of the most annoying child performances I have ever seen on screen.

The only consolation I get from "just Go With It" is that Jennifer  Aniston's next movie will be better than this one--it couldn't be worse or as bad!
