Well.. I love Adam Sandler in romantic comedies. I'm going to chose to forget ANY movie he does where he talks in a retarded voice like Little Nicky, The Waterboy and a few others!
But Sandler does this kind of movie the best and even though you KNOW what's going to happen, you still enjoy the ride because it's just. freakin'. funny.
Sandler plays Dr. Danny McAvoy, an LA plastic surgeon who realizes he can use a wedding ring to pick up women without the fear of getting into a serious relationship.
He meets Palmer (Brooklyn Decker.. who's ALL boobs, btw.. not that there's anything wrong with that!) at a party and the sparks fly. She's into him as much as he's into her but she happens to find the wedding ring in his pocket and accuses him of being a cheater.
Caught in a jam, he spins this tale of divorce. Wonderful, except that Palmer wants to talk to the supposedly ex-wife before going on a date with him.
Really.. who does that?
Anyway.. Dr. Dan convinces his office assistant Katherine (Jennifer Aniston) to pose as his ex.. go to lunch with him and Palmer.. and give her blessing.
Have to say that their shopping scene was beyond hysterical!
All is well and Dr. Dan is thisclose to being in the clear when Katherine's cell rings and there's an issue with one of her kids.
Palmer, a school teacher, is surprised that Dr. Dan has kids and now the fun really begins.. because not only does this new info have to be spun but now the KIDS have to be involved and if you have kids, you know how much of a wild card they are with secrets!
Everything in the movie is over the top but that's the fun. You have to know going in that it's going to be out there so just sit back and roll with it .. if you over think it, you're going to ruin it for yourself! Especially when it comes to Dr. Dan's cousin Eddie (Nick Swardson) .. he's just beyond.
Nicole Kidman also shows up half way through the movie as Katherine's college sorority sister. I had no idea she was in the movie and it was kind of cool to see her doing something with no "angst" .. if you know what I mean!
So Thumbs Up on this one.. it took me a while to see it but it was worth the wait!
