Movie Info

The all-star comedy cast from Grown Ups returns (with some exciting new additions) for more summertime laughs. Lenny (Adam Sandler) has relocated his family back to the small town where he and his friends grew up. This time around, the grown ups are the ones learning lessons from their kids on a day notoriously full of surprises: the last day of school. (c) Sony

When Taylor Lautner is the funniest thing in a movie starring Adam Sandler and Chris Rock, we're in trouble.

The movie lurches from one gross-out scene to another, flipping the bird at continuity and logic. It honestly seems as if Sandler and his team descended on a random suburb, halfheartedly improvising and moving on when they got bored.

The leads dampen the delivery with a noticeable lack of energy. It's telling when the most charismatic comedic performance comes from Taylor Lautner...

Adam Sandler's follow-up to one of the most improbable blockbuster comedy hits in film history - Grown Ups took $270m in 2010 - is a similarly plotless, reasonably pleasant, rough-edged comic ramble.

This is not a movie. This is nothing but Adam Sandler hanging out with his pals and congratulating himself on how awesome he finds himself to be.

There was nothing remotely notable about 2010's Grown Ups, and now we have a sequel that's even lazier.

Somehow, the word 'sequel' doesn't fit: it would be like describing three months of agonising spinal surgery as the sequel to falling off a cliff.

It's easy to be critical of films which have no aim other than to entertain, but if you're half way to Sandler's juvenile, rather sexist mentality you will find more comedy highlights than you'll be expecting.

No human being possesses the imaginative power to sufficiently lower his or her expectations to anticipate the sheer laziness of this putrid ensemble comedy.

This Happy Madison remedial-school version of 'This Is 40' is as insane and dumbfounding and worthy of WTF mock-cult status as 'The Room' or 'Manos, Hands of Fate,' even if it did earn $42 million its first weekend.

The simplest way to put it is that if you liked the first Grown Ups, you will also like this one: it's an equally shameless, just-as shoddy, no-less depressing sprawl of 'life lessons' and fat gags.

The script feels aimless and desperate, even by its own aggressively sophomoric standards.

Clearly this is the film to see if you have a long standing grievance about the way deer have been mistreated by humans and long to see them take their revenge.

Audience Reviews for Grown Ups 2

Very funny movie, I particularly enjoyed the 80s party scene. But the biggest problem I had was the same I had with the first: Kevin James. Sandler, Spade and Rock were on SNL and I've followed their careers before and since, so the three of them together makes sense. But where does James come from? Why didn't they have another SNL member as their fourth guy? I would have liked to see one of the SNL guys they had as smaller characters in his place because he's just not funny. There were a couple of jokes that went a little too long, but otherwise, I really enjoyed this movie.

I must confess that the Adam Sandler movies are my guilty pleasure. I know that the aren't the best movies in this planet and that all of them are kinda repetitive but they make me laugh like a maniac every time I watch them and Grown Ups 2 is no exception. The stroy has nothing new, the performances are barely decent, but this movie has something that I don't know how to explain it that you will leave the movie theater with a smile.
P.S. Shaquille O'Neal is a lousy actor but he really knows how to make people laugh.
