Jennifer Aniston has starred in so many lame romantic comedies that she's become an industry punch line, but drop her into an Adam Sandler movie and she comes off like Katharine Hepburn.

J. R. Jones, Chicago Reader
Rotten

The central conceit serves the new version well enough, despite the filmmakers' regrettable addition of sundry idiotic distractions.

Trevor Johnston, Time Out
Rotten

An egregiously unfunny enterprise that seem less crafted than extruded through the great product-mill that is Hollywood at its most homogenized and soulless.

Ann Hornaday, Washington Post
Rotten

Amidst the wreckage of Just Go With It, Aniston and Sandler have a real chemistry. They should go elsewhere with it.

It's all ridiculous, of course, but it's meant to be.
