'Just Go With It' falls short of Sandler's potential

Just Go With It Opens today at Rave, Quality 16 Review by Corey Hall of the Metro Times Grade: D
Adam Sandler no longer really makes movies so much as he takes expensive, studio-subsidized vacations. The formula is pretty simple: Invite a few famous friends, travel somewhere nice, act like overgrown 14-year-olds while the cameras roll and — viola! — you're ready for easy multiplex consumption. Laughably billed in the ads as "From the producers of 'Grown Ups'", as if that were a strong selling point, Just Go With It is so daft and lazy it makes one long for the halcyon days of "The Wedding Singer", when Sandler bothered with a real premises and characters, rather than merely using the story as a dick-joke delivery system.
