Movie Info
Thirty years after graduating from high school, five former basketball teammates gather at the lake house where they celebrated their biggest victory to mourn the passing of their late coach. Over the course of the Fourth of July weekend, the five friends realize that just because they've all grown up and started families doesn't mean that they've lost that old spark. Adulthood is what you make of it, and no one at the lake house is eager to be the grown-up of the gang. Adam Sandler, Chris Rock,

Grown Ups is the perfect poster child for this maddening summer of movie mediocrity.
Top CriticThe male fantasy of cheerleader spouse, well-adjusted kids and expanding waistline.
A benignly crude slice of family hysteria.
Lazy is the word.
It's not so hilarious that you need to rush to see it but not so bad that you will suffer unduly if you take a chance on its more-or-less family friendly charms.
Grown Ups delivers precious few laughs for the sheer volume of comedy talent on offer.
The title mainly leaves one wondering when Sandler will chose to finally grow up and stop starring in this ongoing series of terrible comedies.
Doesn't so much play like a film than random home movies of Sandler and his usual screen cronies on vacation.
Five forgettable characters reunite for a (lame) joke-filled weekend.
The second half of Grown Ups isn't good enough to dig its way out of the tremendous hole it's created for itself but it's far from the worse thing Sandler has ever made. Maybe in another 20 years he'll make something funny.
Grown Ups heralds a sad day for comedy nostalgists of a certain age. Call it the day the amusement died.
Surprisingly, amazingly, bafflingly uncomedic and unhilarious.
There's almost no plot, and loads of schmaltz, but the hidden metaphors and cast chemistry makes this a worthwhile effort.
A midlife crisis disaster more akin to Billy Madison in search of a second childhood than anything evocative of The Big Chill. Grow up already!
The shameless sentiment (a cute little girl wants to use the car GPS to locate heaven) and Sandler's ego-tripping (he's married to Salma Hayek, and he's a sure shot on the basketball court) interfere with the laughs.
Despite some passable gags and a whole posse of middle-aged funnymen, Denis Dugan's comedy is about the least grown-up movie you could see.
Not much more than an in-joke between the actors, this film is amiable but never funny. And despite some hackneyed moralising, it has nothing to say.
You've seen these actors play these characters many times before, and better.
Full of obvious jokes and schmaltzy sentiment, Grown Ups is as much fun as watching endless home movies of people you really don't know very well.
Like The Big Chill with farting grandmothers...
Sandler's abysmal script cooks up a bite-sized moral for the finale. Groan ups, more like.
Audience Reviews for Grown Ups

- Gloria: Like when Rob snapped at me the other day, that was scary. And you all thought I was so calm, but inside I was saying Gloria Nunen, do not call him a bug-eyed sociopath with a little man complex. Do not say that his hair makes him look like a dirty q-tip. Or that he resembles an older, gay Jonas Brother. Or a midget, Filipino Fonzi.
-
- Gloria: I have a confession to make too. I'm really a man.
-
- Kurt McKenzie: I see that ass is still growing. Got a little Kardashian in there.
-
- Lenny Feder: Are you peeing or is a diesel truck turning off? What the hell is that?
-
- Kurt McKenzie: You got toe.
-
- Kurt McKenzie: How in the world's anybody supposed to get some sleep knowing they're under the same roof as Toe-be Bryant over here?
