Pleasantly Surprised
I kept seeing ads for this film everywhere, Insta, Facebook, Netflix, and I was avoiding it cuz i'm not a big Sandler fan...nothing personal just not a big fan of his humor. 50 First Dates was great. Anyway, Mom suggested it first for a family movie night and after searching through a bunch of other movies we went back to it saying "Ok we'll watch it and turn it off if it sucks." I was surprised to say that I really enjoyed it! Aniston and Sandler are both individually funny and become really funny together, with believable chemistry. The script writing can be attributed to James Vanderbilt, another name I was pleasantly surprised to see in the credits, someone I really respect but who doesn't usually do comedy and really did well with this one. Most notably at least to me, he worked on Altered Carbon which was a Netflix show I really enjoyed. There are some star actors some more recognizable and some not - Luke Evans, the Bard from The Hobbit trilogy does a great job in a charming lead role and Terence Stamp (The Adjustment Bureau) is always fun to see despite playing a brief role and David Walliams, the judge from Britain's Got Talent plays another well acted, brief role in which he is almost unrecognizable! The most important thing is if you're not with it in the beginning, it gets better in the second half! Some twists I didn't expect! Watch it, have some fun!
