AFTER HAVING HIS heart broken, Danny (Adam Sandler) leaves his wife at the altar and heads to a bar. Danny soon realizes that women in bars are drawn to men with wedding rings (are they?). Ten years later, we see he is still using the same trick to score women, but when he meets Palmer (Brooklyn Decker), he discovers he must change his approach for a woman he is genuinely interested in. When she discovers his ring, the film’s plot takes off, as he must convince her that he is not the cheater she believes him to be. The remainder of the film takes place in Hawaii, where single mom Katherine (Jennifer Aniston), Danny’s assistant, is drawn into the predictable web of lies and expectedly agrees to play along as Danny’s soon-to-be ex-wife. The film very much follows the mold of any romantic comedy. From the outset, the viewers speculate as to whether Danny will end up with Palmer or Katherine.
Like Sandler’s other films, you can expect another great soundtrack compiled of classic 70s and 80s rock, this one being heavy on Sting and The Police. Also, the never-ending cameos from the familiar cast of wacky characters that Happy Madison Production films are known for does not disappoint. Although Decker’s acting is mediocre and the annoying use of a child’s fake British accent gets tiresome, the films all-star cast does not disappoint.
