Movie Review: Just Go With It…is worth going for

At the outset, I would like to make it clear – this is a typical DVD watch. While its worth going for, purely from a good watch standpoint..its not your not-to-miss flick of the week and doesn’t necessarily need an outing to the theaters.

What makes this one worth a watch though is the gentle and easy flow of the movie especially in the first half and how the title to this movie is really apt…from the beginning we all ‘just go with it’ – the characters in the movie, the audience that watches them…its not your movie to sit and analyze and debate over. Its one of those flicks you are supposed to just sit back, relax and enjoy

That said, it isn’t really mindless either. A fair bit of humour with some absolutely laugh out loud instances, Just Go With It makes for decent movie fare. Especially the first half, is particularly encouraging..in fact, the movie reminds you a lot of ‘No Entry (the lone Bazmee comedy that was actually pretty decent) in how it shapes up and the way the plot moves forward

What is a bit of a let-down is the more typical rom-com second half. The movie just gets a little too much on the love angle, the gags become lesser and it kinda feels disconnected. Its all very sweetly done but it misses that X-factor. The end itself is particularly tame.

Adam Sandler puts in his customary decent performance playing a character he is all too familiar with by now. Jennifer Anniston plays her part well too though age is beginning to tell on her and I think she should graduate to more ‘motherly’ roles rather than play the love interest now. Nicole Kidman is thoroughly under-utilized in the character she plays. A special word for Nick Swardson who puts in a particularly note worthy performance as do the kids in the movie.

Oh! and absolutely stunningly gorgeous is Brooklyn Decker; in fact, she may be one reason you might actually wanna catch this one on the big screen ;)

So there you have it..that’s my take on the flick..whether its worth your ticket at the movie hall is something you’ll have to let your heart decide..and ‘just go with it’
