Just Go with It
Sometimes you need a girl, to get the girl.
Directed by Dennis Dugan
Produced by Columbia Pictures, Happy Madison Productions
A lighthearted romantic comedy built on escalating deception and mistaken identities, where a contrived setup leads to genuine connection and personal growth.
While romancing Palmer, a much younger schoolteacher, plastic surgeon Danny Maccabee enlists his loyal assistant Katherine to pretend to be his soon to be ex-wife, in order to cover up a careless lie. When more lies backfire, Katherine's kids become involved, and everyone heads off for a weekend in Hawaii that will change all their lives.
