I can honestly say that I've seen most every movie that Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston have ever made. Of course, I can proudly say that I did miss "Don't Mess With the Zohan" and wish I had missed "Little Nicky". However, when these two actors make a movie, I will come.
My past film going months have been catching up on the Academy Award nominated fare and I looked forward to some entertaining fluff with my favorite actors. My week had been stressful and thought it would be some welcome relief.
The story was of plastic surgeon Sandler who harboured insecurities from his younger life and spent his adulthood bedding women who believed he was in a horrible marriage. Enter Brooklyn Decker and after one romp on the beach and intrigued by, of course her beauty, and her morals took his farce one step further and had to produce his wife and children. Enter the mousy assistant (yeah,right) Aniston and her kids. Expensive clothes and a great hairstyle was all it took to make her hot and a believable EX.
The domino effect of non-truths lead them all to Hawaii which included the kids....Bailee Madison and Griffin Gluck whose acting rivaled the adult pros. Nick Swadson as Sandler's bumbling cousin was just OK. As in every "Happy Madison" movie there were the cameos from Sandler's BFF's, Allen Ruck, for one, who I always enjoy seeing. Never one for Nicole Kidman, she showed me why she is considered a great actress. Plus, there were great turns from Dave Matthews (isn't he a singer?), Kevin Nealon and Rachel Dratch.
As I write this I wonder why I didn't enjoy the movie that much. Maybe it was because the plot was predictable and the story too far fetched.
