Sandler / Aniston "Just Go With It" Popular With Viewers But Not Critics

Just Go With It Aniston Sandler RT

The synopsis for "Just Go With It" at Rotten Tomatoes is:

In Just Go With It, a plastic surgeon, romancing a much younger schoolteacher, enlists his loyal assistant to pretend to be his soon to be ex-wife, in order to cover up a careless lie. When more lies backfire, the assistant's kids become involved, and everyone heads off for a weekend in Hawaii that will change all their lives. -- (C) Sony

Metacritic had a 37/100 out of 20 critics who reviewed it.

Roger Moore of the Orlando Sentinel said:

It's a rarely amusing movie overwhelmed by grating kids, unfunny sidekicks, half-hearted Sandler funny voices and a co-star who seems more fearful of smiling with each passing year.

Richmond.com had a comparitively positive review albeit with a disclaimer:

If you’re skeptical of Sandler’s standard fare, "Just Go With It" will likely be a refreshing change of pace from the luckiest man on earth’s typical sophomoric dreck. Aniston can act, Swardson steals the show by impersonating a German sheep trader, and the action moves quickly despite the two-hour running time.

So don't expect to much before going to the theatre for this one, but maybe, just maybe, it'll make February-Love-Valentine's month a little more heart-warming.
