Rated PG-13 | CP Grade: B
To entice single women to sleep with him, plastic surgeon Danny Maccabee (Adam Sandler) wears a fake wedding ring, playing a doting husband neglected (and sometimes beaten) by his non-existent wife. Fool-proof, right? As to be expected, the earth tilts off its axis when Danny falls for a woman (Brooklyn Decker) who thinks he’s married. Instead of fessing up and shaving an hour and a half off the film, he enlists his assistant, Katherine (Jennifer Aniston), to be his fake (newly, conveniently) ex. Of course, before she is able to pass for a plastic surgeon’s wife, Sandler's stand-in must go through a physical transformation to up her hottie quotient, which, this being Jennifer Aniston, consists only of taking off her glasses and wearing high heels. Oh, and they’ve got two pretend children, too, and somehow the entire gang ends up in Hawaii for the majority of the film. With the standard moral hole-digging and two-steps-forward, one-step-back formula, the plot line is anything but fresh. But with an irritatingly likable Aniston and an always charmingly goofy Sander leading the way, Just Go With It is, somehow, a cohesively funny film. There are arbitrary celebrity cameos by unusually animated Nicole Kidman, gut-busting Rachel Dratch and, briefly, Heidi Montag, who makes her film debut as — wait for it — a woman who has had plastic surgery. —Diana Palmieri
