The Movie Mob2022-09-14
★ 8/10
Pure extravagant craziness that compliments a surprisingly charming RomCom that is fun for everyone. The whole concept of a guy inventing a fake family to impress a girl sounds pretty absurd and honestly not that interesting of an idea, but the hilarity that results from the characters' attempts to keep the lie intact gets more and more outrageous and entertaining. Just Go With It is a wild, goofy ride with wacky characters and stupid situations that will have you laughing from start to finish. However, the sheer nonsensical plot eventually gives way to a sweet story of love being found even in the most unlikely ways and places. Sandler once again assembles his cast of friends to play the lovable crew of crazies, and the end product is even more charming and enjoyable than what we have come to love and expect of Happy Madison productions.

Haven't seen a really good funny movie from Adam Sandler in a while. This one is really hilarious. Has a fake ex family because he lied to his current girlfriend and told her he was divorced we wih kids. When he never was.
