(Don't go with it. You wouldn't like it)

Americans attempting to do British accents, sheep, Adam Sandler, child actors and botched plastic surgery are all warning signals that the film you are watching is probably shit. And they all feature in Adam Sandler's new hilarious comedy, 'Just Go With It'.

Adam Sandler is a plastic surgeon who lies and pretends he is married in order to get laid. He does this for about twenty years and then he meets a twenty three year old teacher (Brooklyn Decker) and falls in love. To cover up his sleazy lies he enlists the help of his trusty assistant, played by Jennifer Aniston, and her two children to play the parts of his ex wife and children. They end up in Hawaii thanks to Aniston's little boy (children in comedy films are always manipulative little shits). Sandler's cousin comes along as well and pretends for no apparent reason to be an Austrian sheep dealer or something. Still with me? They bump into Aniston's college 'frenemy', Devlin (Nicole Kidman) and her husband, and the amount of lies floating around just spells out hilarity. Or not.

It is quite incredible that a film with so many exasperating plot turns and lies can be so predictable. I won't spoil the ending for you but, hmm, see if you can guess what happens. The jokes are predictable too, from the second that Aniston tells Sandler that she told her children to say Kidman's character name 'Devlin' instead of "shit" well, hey, that's not going to end well, is it gang? Ah ha ha ha ha! Oh.

Considering this was the film debut for Sports Illustrated model Brooklyn Decker, we had our reservations, but she suited her part. Nicole Kidman, however, looked uncomfortable throughout, probably because she's not the first face to come to mind when you want a good laugh. Well, not in that way, at least. Her level of discomfort was particularly palpable in a scene involving a coconut and a hula skirt. As was ours.

The boy, played by ten year old Griffin Gluck, is one of the best things about the film and the girl, played by Baillee Madison, also ten, isn't bad. The big problem with her is the "British accent" that her aspiring-actress character insists on using, so not entirely her fault. If only Hollywood realised that there is no such thing as a British accent, at least not one that sounds like Enid Blyton spending too much time with Ray Winstone.

Heidi Montag has a cameo. Which is nice. For her. We laughed out loud once or twice, but that might have just been a relapse of what our doctor calls "the troubles".

Still, as Adam Sandler films also starring Jennifer Aniston go, 'Just Go With It'
could've been be a lot worse. Another quote for the poster, there.

  • I have just watched the trailer, and the voice man says "to get a girl like that...he'll need a fake wife and kids" Er, WHAT? I do not understand. Is marriage-to-another-woman an aphrodisiac nowadays? Is it just me? Is the rest of the female population just gagging to get some married-to-another-woman cock? Ooooh, he's married to another woman, how HORNY and SEXY and AVAILABLE and er, CUCKOLDY!?

  • The thing is .. what is Aniston doing, and to whom, to keep making this shite?

    it has got to the stage where even the Mrs is getting fucked off with them ... and that's saying something. Just avoid DVDs in covers with red lettering on a white background .....

    It's worrying that 'The Switch' was as bad as it was, yet still got 'launched' - does this mean she might cross over to being 'So bad it's good' ?

    Probably the best quote this film will get.
