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.

Where will we live?

Finding a home has it's up and downs and dodging of bullets (if you don't research the neighborhood well enough) and a case of headaches all on its own, but throw in a marriage into the mix and it adds just that much more. The one question that make take more than a few minutes to ponder over is... Where will we live? What if your spouse is originally from the other side of town or another state? What if your job has caused you to move away from your parents, but now you feel like it's the perfect time to move closer to them? In the second episode of Married At First Sight (the 2nd season) , Jaclyn and Ryan R. already had a bumpy start with Jaclyn not being attracted to Ryan R. at all and she sure did not have an ounce of fear to share that with the cameras. But on top of all that she's in love with her job as a sales representative for a popular vodka brand in  New Jersey. Her now husband is from L...

Fight for What You Deserve

Who said Chick Flicks couldn't be wild? African Cats is a movie that reaches out to help preserve the life of animals in need while still being a Chick Flick. African Cats follows the life of lions, lionesses and cheetahs as they fight to stay alive. It is hard not to fall in love with the young cubs like Mara.
