The plothole I can't get over (SPOILER ALERT!!!!!!)

While this was an enjoyable movie, after I left and got to think about it, something just doesn't make sense. Am I missing something? I mean here Sandler's charactet is all set to marry the blond chic. She still thinks they are HIS kids. It would be one thing if Aniston were the only issue. She could just disappear. But even though Aniston had custody, could he really live a life lying about how important those kids were to him? Surely even if the story was that they lived far away, they would make periodic visits, etc. And they would have to attend their graduations, etc. And if he told her the truth after the wedding , would she not be furious that she had been deceived? Were Aniston, Sandler , the kids and the Lundgren guy just going to play a lifelong charade?

I wondered about that too, but then in one scene (I believe it happens when Adam Sandler is putting them to sleep, right after the little boy starts to cry about how his real father never has time for him) Sandler mentions something about 'killing them off' later, like telling Palmer some lie about how his kids unfortunately died in an accident, so they could be out of his life. I thought that was a pretty crazy plan, but then everything in this movie was crazy.

It's a comedy - and Sandler's character didn't think it through - that was one of Aniston's character's complaints.

The whole movie is a satire, a farce, of how complicated things can get.

One lie built upon another, and things did spin out of control. Like the title, if someone was thinking, how is this ever going to work? Someone else said Just Go With It.

Adam Sandler didn't intend to bring the kids into it at all, until they just showed up, and called Jen their mother. One thing just led to another.

He probably would have ended up telling Palmer the truth about Katherine and the kids if he actually proposed to her on his own terms, but he was thrown into the proposal when "Dolph" spilled the beans about looking for rings. Anyway, by then he realized he was in love with Katherine, so he probably would have broken up with Palmer once they got back to the mainland.

As the title says, "Just Go With It..."
