Even if you despise Adam Sandler, you probably won't mind this funny and begrudgingly charming comedy. The ensemble cast is stellar - in particular Aniston, Kidman and the brilliant young actress who plays Aniston's daughter. The typical cringeworthy Sandler teenage humour and 80s frat boy sexist tropes are littered throughout, and Sandler's way too young blonde love interest & storyline is actually sickening, but these disappointments are offset by strong and very entertaining performances from Kidman and Aniston. Plus a few very funny jokes about plastic surgery.

Like most sit-coms the movie slips from possible to improbable to very improbable. Adam Sandler plays Danny, who is about to be married. He discovers his bride to be had a fling with her former bf right before the wedding and she is just marrying him for his money. Danny is depressed as he sits in a bar with his wedding ring on. He discovers the ring is a chick magnet that leads to numerous one night stands. He calls it "my precious." Jennifer Anniston plays his single receptionist with 2 children. At a party, Danny meets a Barbie Doll school teacher and has a great night. He wasn't wearing his ring, but then she discovers it! You cad! Danny eventually explains he is getting divorced and she insists upon meeting the soon to be ex-wife. Rather than level with her, he asks Jennifer to play the role of his ex-wife which includes make-over and clothes perks. The meeting goes well as Anniston plays the jilted wife...then her cell phone rings. It is her kids, which must be Danny's kids too, right? Barbie Doll, a teacher loves kids and wants to meet Danny's kids. Now Danny must bribe Anniston's kids to pretend to be his kids. Oh what a tangle web we weave...The movie contains humor about bad plastic surgery plus some toilet humor. It has some good rock tunes, especially as swagger music. When Anniston starts dating a man in another office, Danny shows some signs of jealousy. One lie leads to another and then to another. Predictable and fun, A feel good film of the chick flick variety. No sex or nudity. Nice bikini shots. Some crude suggestive sex talk, although nothing as what we have been getting from Hollywood.

I only watched this to see Kidman, and considering it's Adam Sandler, I wasn't expecting much. But wow, was this was horrible and much more painful than I had initially expected. I got an hour in until I just skimmed through and only watched the scenes that Kidman was in. Up to that point, it proved to be a completely predictable, unfunny, clichéd, and cringe-inducing movie that nearly gave me a migraine. This entire film's paper-thin premise is built around people being stupid and situations that could have easily been avoided. Sandler has absolutely no charisma, and is criminally unfunny, which tears the movie apart. I actually ended up liking and respected the antagonist in this (Kidman) more than the protagonist (Aniston). This is the result of the terrible characters and even worse portrayals. How am I supposed to believe that Sandler is a medical doctor when his vocabulary is as developed as a five-year-old?The only saving graces in this was Bailee Madison who is quite a good child actor, and Nicole Kidman who I was really embarrassed for. She deserves better than this.
