Bad Movie Beatdown: Just Go with It (REVIEW) 

This episode was originally posted in July 2013 and was the third in the Sandler Month series of reviews, which included this, I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry, Strange Wilderness, and Jack & Jill. This is a (very) re-edited version that runs 3m 12s shorter than the original, and was notably the first episode of the show I edited in HD (the Sucker Punch review is the very first, but I did not handle the editing on that). I still had the original files for this episode, which allowed me to go back to those for this re-edit, which is pretty much from top-to-bottom, and was very intensive, mostly owing to the fact that this came from my "angry phase", which I was extremely shrill and over-exaggerated, and I wanted to correct that as much as possible (but is impossible to delete entirely, so if you find me over the top here, I can only apologize). The extensive changes include:

I think I'd actually give this movie a pass if the girl revealed that the whole time she knew she was being lied to and was just seeing how far he'd go to keep up the lie

A.K.A. Another excuse for Adam Sandler to go on vacation.

I always hated the plot structure of guy chases after hot chick only to realize that he truly loves his female friend. The said hot chick often is no more than a MacGuffin in the movie and is written to be shallow and dumb as stump or just bland. There always seem so damn stupid and unfair to the woman who place the hot chick. You see this a lot in comedies often raunchy ones aimed at males, which makes it feel like the films are telling males that don't bother with the woman you sexually attracted go for the woman whose sensible and motherly. And I know that Aniston is attractive but it is clear there having her play the less hot sensible woman. I

Sandler managed to stay relevant for a long time through a pretty en-genius scam. By making comedies that doubled as vacations and star'd his friends he was able to keep the budgets insanely low. Guaranteeing that no matter how bad, the movie would make double to triple it's budget.

Fun fact: this is the first film I ever walked out of.

Sandler has a thing for odd remakes. Such as Mr Deeds, which I maintain wasn't all that BAD, just 100% unnecessary.

I hate plots that revolve around a cascading web of lies.

The audio sounds great!

wants to be an actress... names Miley Cyrus as an inspiration... shooting for the bottom rung there, arent you kid.

Just Go With It is still a better title than the italian one, 'My Pretend Wife'.

I have to say, if I didn't know this was re-edited/re-dialogued, I would have no idea. It's great. Thanks for reuploading this, Matthew.

Thank you so much for reuploading all these classic BMBs. Used to watch them all the time back in the day and I'm happy you put in all this work to make them available on RU-vid. Keep up the great work :)

Also I think the girl was forced to do that British accent at gunpoint.

As someone who grew up in the same town Sandler grew up, went to the same High School and everything...i've noticed something rather strange.

This is one of those comedies where all of the conflicts in this movie could have been solved if the characters acted like rational adults.

There are so many lies upon lies I can not believe it holds water

Wow, your hard work re-editing this episode really shows!! If I recall correctly, this was the first "new episode" that came out after I started watching, so it's a bit nostalgic. ^-^
