Review - Go for It movie online
Danny ( Adam Sandler ) having been hurt before in a previous relationship makes a decision to avoid commitment completely. The only way to do this is to tell every woman he meets that he is married, until he meets a stunning young school teacher named Barbara Palmer ( Brooklyn Decker ) and is immediately smitten. He takes off the ring and puts it in his pocket. Palmer discovers the ring later and demands to know what is going on. Danny tells her a lie that he is just recently divorced to get out of the tricky situation but to make matters worse, she asks to meet his ex-wife.
In a desperate attempt to hold on to Palmer, Sandler enlists the help of his very loyal assistant, single mother, Katherine, ( Jennifer Aniston ) to pretend to be his ex. As the meeting draws to a close, Katherine takes a call from one of her children. Palmer assumes it is their children and says she would like to meet them. More lies are told and to complicate things even further, Katherine's children become part of the plan to impress the school teacher.
Things go from bad to worse when Katherine's son, Michael ( Griffin Gluck ) tricks Danny into taking them all on a trip to Hawaii, including his friend Eddie, ( Nick Swardson ). For the entire trip, Danny tries to keep up the charade of happy family hilarious consequences. It is only when Katherine swops her lab coat, glasses and stern hair do for a sexy dress and heels that Danny begins to feel the pull of attraction and questions whether he is pursuing the right woman.
Katherine bumps into a friend from her past, Devlin ( Nicole Kidman ) and her husband who appear very happily married and successful. In an attempt to hide her own insecurity, Katherine lies about her relationship Danny and says they are married; in the process their true feelings emerge for each other.
Danny's relationship with Palmer is completely unrealistic. Her role throughout the movie is weak, she is very trusting and gullible and doesn't seem to mind Danny's ex-wife tagging along for the duration of the trip. Katherine's daughter, Maggie ( Bailee Madison ) is a funny kid in the way she tries to imitate the British accent. There is an incident with a sheep with Eddie ( Nick Swardson ) that is not so funny and some hilarious belly dancing provided by Devlin ( Nicole Kidman ) and Katherine.
Just Go With It is a little silly and predicatable but as it develops it becomes enjoyable, heartfelt and quite funny, a real feel good movie for all the family to enjoy.
Borrowing truckloads of inspiration from ''Pulp Fiction,'' Doug Liman's ''Go'' has three interrelated sections. It begins and ends at the same time and place, turns a banal spot into its central setting (supermarket instead of coffee shop), flirts with drugs and violence and lets its characters riff amusingly on assorted trivia, in the manner of ''le Big Mac.'' But derivative as it is, ''Go'' has a powerful personality of its own.
Before the opening Columbia Pictures icon has even finished brandishing her torch, the film erupts into a hyperkinetic rave scene and it keeps on flashing that kind of energy throughout. If Mr. Liman breaks no ground here, he does not simply appropriate the familiar. More often than not, he takes it by storm.
