He's got the right idea & I am a pig!! (Or jealous!)

Adam Sandler Adds to His List of Younger Costars in New Trailer

by: Matt McDaniel
It's always been part of the conceit of Adam Sandler movies that his boyish charm eventually wins over the young, attractive gal who is way out of his league. Sure, the female lead is initially turned off by his goofball humor or infantile outbursts, but she sees the wounded, good-hearted guy underneath and warms up to him by the end.
But it seems as Sandler gets older, his romantic partners in movies don't. It's like  Matthew McConaughey's line in the movie "Dazed and Confused": "I get older, they stay the same age."
The latest example is in Sandler's next movie, "Just Go With It." In it, he plays a plastic surgeon who goes from one hook-up to the next by claiming that he's married. But when he meets a girl he actually sees a future with, he has to enlist his assistant to pretend to be his wife, and he ends up with a whole fake family.
Sandler's romantic interest is played by Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition cover-girl -- and Mrs. Andy Roddick -- Brooklyn Decker, who makes her movie debut. She's impossibly beautiful, and nearly young enough to be his daughter, but that's what makes it funny. However, the woman he enlists to be his fake wife is played by Jennifer Aniston, a much more age-appropriate (but still ridiculously gorgeous) match for him. Take a look at the exclusive trailer for "Just Go With It," then keep reading to see the age gaps between Sandler and his leading ladies, including the one who was actually older than him. (Viewer discretion advised - contains crude humor)

I like "The Waterboy" with the channel-anger-into-sports ideology and "Happy Gilmore", showing people will go to any lengths for the ones' they love.
