In this “keep-you-guessing” thriller, Liam Neeson plays Dr. Martin Harris…who finds upon awakening from a coma that another man (Aidan Quinn) has stolen his identity…even his wife (January Jones) doesn’t recognize him.
Dr. Martin forms an unlikely alliance with Gina (Diane Kruger) a Berlin taxi driver, who joins him in his fight to uncover the truth.
_
Neeson seems a little off his game in this one…maybe miscast?
The answers to this mystery were almost disappointing.

Rated PG-13
1 hr. 49 min.

Just Go With It

☆☆☆

+
In this fun romantic comedy, Danny (Adam Sandler) gets Katherine (Jennifer Aniston) to agree to pose as his soon-to-be-divorced wife and her kids to pretend to be his children…all in the hopes of winning the heart of Palmer (Brooklyn Decker).

Katherine’s daughter, Maggie (Bailee Madison), steals the show!
_
Nicole Kidman (Devlin Adams) is entertaining as Katherine’s old sorority sister…but the performance is a little “over-done.”
