Here's why you should watch Just Go With It
Just Go with It tells the story of a plastic surgeon named Danny (Adam Sandler) who pretends to be an unhappily married man in order to attract women who hook up with him out of pity. For years, Danny has no interest in committing to any of these women, but has to resort to drastic measures when he falls for one of his hook-ups and wants to continue seeing her.
In order to back up his lie of being a married man, Danny convinces his assistant, Katherine (Jennifer Aniston), to pose as his supposedly soon-to-be ex-wife. Hi-jinks ensue as Danny and Katherine go on vacation with Danny's girlfriend, Palmer (Brooklyn Decker) and have to keep up the charade that they were once married and have kids together. Along the way, sparks begin to fly.
While Rotten Tomatoes only gives Just Go With It a 19 percent tomatometer score, it's clear that fans don't care what the critics have to say. This is one that you definitely want to add to your queue or, better yet, just start streaming right away.
