Just Go with It

While romancing Palmer, a much younger schoolteacher, plastic surgeon Danny Maccabee enlists his loyal assistant Katherine to pretend to be his soon to be ex-wife, in order to cover up a careless lie. When more lies backfire, Katherine's kids become involved, and everyone heads off for a weekend in Hawaii that will change all their lives.

Critics largely dismissed this Adam Sandler rom-com as crass and formulaic, a pale remake of *Cactus Flower* that wastes its premise on lazy deception gags. The sharpest divide came over the cast: Jennifer Aniston and Nicole Kidman drew scattered praise as bright spots in an otherwise sinking ship, though audiences were far kinder than critics overall.
