About

If you enjoy light, goofy romantic comedies with big misunderstandings, Just Go with It should land well; Not for you if you dislike crass slapstick, heavy chick-flick romance focus, or if you want something less predictable than 50 First Dates.

Pros: absurd-but-charming comedy; leads with chemistry; entertaining ensemble | Cons: some jokes fall flat; overly romantic focus; polarizing material
