DAy #22 - Just Go With It

Danny realised a long time ago that newly-divorced men do the best with the ladies, especially if the divorce is messy and the man is still sad. So he carries around a wedding ring to con women with. However, he never expects to fall for one of them. He pays his assistant and her kids to play his ex-wife and family, and, before he knows it, he's in Hawaii with them all desperately trying to push his lie into a relationship.

Adam Sandler makes a lot of movies. Pair him up with either Drew Barrymore or Jennifer Aniston and it will be a good one.  They have an unexpected chemistry that really works, especially with this kind of storyline.

I have a love-hate relationship with plots like this. They are funny and interesting, and they always bring people together who never thought about the possibility of a romantic relationship between them before. I am also shocked that these characters really believe that a lengthly, complicated lie is the correct basis to build a relationship on. It's extremely frustrating. I'm constantly commenting throughout, questioning the plausibility of the lie long-term. How do they possibly think they can keep it up? The most important thing though is that it shows them who they really have a connection with and who truly matters.

This movie is fun, it's heartwarming, and there's a few good laughs in it - granted, some of them are overplayed but not for too long, thankfully. The only thing I hated was the character Eddie, who was annoying and didn't add much to the story at all. I'm not entirely sure why he was there. If I were you, I would just ignore him when you watch it. It's an enjoyable, lazy afternoon watch.
