Grown Ups 2 Reviews

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

Full Review | Original Score: 1/5

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.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/5

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.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/5

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.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/5

As disposable and forgettable as its 2010 predecessor...

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4

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.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5

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

Full Review | Original Score: 1/5

Unsuitable for all ages.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/5

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.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4

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.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/5

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

Full Review

Sandler and his pals are in the enviable position of having the muscle to do their thing for fun and profit.

The Land of Lazy can crown a new king because with Grown Ups 2 Adam Sandler has officially nabbed the throne.

Full Review | Original Score: 0.5/5

Adam Sandler has made some warm and funny movies but this one is a mess from start to finish.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/10

It's plotless, pointless, soulless, but worse than all of those things.... it's just NOT FUNNY!!!

Full Review | Original Score: .5/4

Full of coarse excuses for humor and cruelty, 'Grown Ups 2' literally spews bile at its audience.

Full Review | Original Score: 0/4

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.

Full Review | Original Score: 0.5/4

one long, smug, self-satisfied smirk at the audience

Full Review | Original Score: 0/5

Just when it seemed like it couldn't get any worse for Adam Sandler, Grown Ups 2 underperforms its predecessor in every way imaginable.
