Just Go With It

Imagine this. You are at a bar and you overhear a man explaining to the good looking woman sitting next to him that he has not seen his wife in months. She has deserted her duties as a wife and mother to their 15 adopted children. The attracted woman we shall call, Naive, is eating his miserable story up and says he should go home with her so she can show him what he deserves with a seductive look. Off they go to begin their rendezvous. Believable? Only in the movies, so Just go With It.
            Jennifer Aniston, Katherine, and Adam Sandler, Danny, play the ideal duo for this movie. She is the assistant of Danny and happens to be a single mother of two children. He is a wealthy plastic surgeon who had his heart broken on his wedding day. Since then he has taken on the life of faking near divorce, neglectful and horrendous marriages in order to persuade these stunning and young women to sleep with him. His perfect plan has continued to work until he meets a particular girl, Palmer, played by Brooklyn Decker, who he is sure, is the one. The thing is that she does not find it acceptable to continue a relationship with a married man unless she meets his soon to be ex-wife to be certain she is not just the other woman. Guess who will play Danny’s pretend wife?

            I completely did not expect the ending, until my boyfriend whispered it to me mid-movie, then I had a moment of “Ohhhhh, yea huh. I guess so”. At the conclusion of the film his predictions were confirmed.  I hate it when he is right. It did not dawn on me, although from talking to other people who had not yet seen the film, it seems like the finale is an obvious one. Regardless of the predictable ending, I truly enjoyed this film. It is hard not to fall for Maggie, played by Baille Madison, as she plays the wit and adorable daughter of Katherine who loves talking with wild accents. Just Go With It, combines the happy ending and love elements of a Chick Flick genre with some sexual content and lots of humor. Just Go With It is a movie I like to call not you average chick flick.

I feel like I've known you FOREVER.

I feel this immense connection with him. I have to have known him from somewhere. But how we barely met a couple hours ago. But we have so much in common. He makes me laugh. He tells me I understand him. Wow did we just say the same thing at the same time?  Weird! Those are the words that so many of the participants in Married At First Sight gushed about to the cameras in last week's episode. Were those feelings sincere or were they just caught in the moment?  Can you truly feel like you've know someone for an eternity within days or hours or even minutes of actually meeting that person?  I feel like that is true to a certain extent, but then again I think that feeling of being caught in the moment is often intertwined with the feeling of knowing someone for an eternity which leads to feeling that immense connection. I think some people get caught up and just because they grew up watching the same cartoon they instantly feel like, "wow, they're the one it&#

Divorce

Is it really that bad? Bad enough for all if not most of the participants on Married at First Sight to swear that "Divorce is not an option" for them. Even though they have not met their future spouse, they can honestly say they trust the specialists to have found the perfect match for them? That is something I would be so afraid of. They definitely have more courage and trust than I do. I do not think I could honestly say divorce was out of the question if I were in their shoes. Not only because marriage is tough and sometimes it just doesn't work, but because they have no control over who they are marrying. They are being completely set up... and what if they're set up to fail? Then what... As it is you always hear that divorce rates are at 50%, although that 50% statistic is very misleading, if not completely wrong. The divorce rates are closer to 25% for all first-time marriages to end in a divorce. And those divorces do not involve the parties mee
