Grown Ups 2 Reviews

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

Full Review | Original Score: 3/10

The best thing I can say about Grown Ups 2 is that Rob Schneider is not in it.

Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/4

The most horrifying depiction of inhuman behavior since That's My Boy. Or maybe Jack & Jill. Or maybe Blue Velvet.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/10

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

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

In the first five minutes, a deer walks into the star's bedroom and urinates on his face. It's all downhill from there.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/5

Largely free of Sandler's usual schmaltz and lame romance, it's pure plotless, grotesque high jinks, bizarre and inept in a way that's fascinating without ever being all that funny.

Full Review | Original Score: D-

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

Unsuitable for all ages.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/5

The fact that some moments are genuinely laugh-out-loud funny almost makes the whole endeavor sadder.

Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/4

The film, at its core, is about being bullied & standing up to bullies and claiming one's community. Some nice sentiments, but so much of it is lost amidst the rampant, third-grade level stabs at humor.(Full Content Review for Parents also available)

Another lowbrow make-work project for Sandler's jock cronies, SNL has-been hangers-on and Dan Patrick.

Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/4

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

Yes, it's time for another visit to the Adam Sandler Death-of-Cinema Fun Factory, the big-screen version of a terrible sitcom where laugh tracks are replaced by the co-stars chuckling at their own awful material.

Full Review

Among the slackest, laziest, least movie-like movies released by a major studio in the last decade, "Grown Ups 2" is perhaps the closest Hollywood has yet come to making "Ow! My Balls!" seem like a plausible future project.

Full Review

A phoned-in ode to lazy comedy and staggering stupidity.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/5

It's one thing that Grown Ups 2 is unfunny -- what's really galling is that Sandler and his cohorts can barely come up with a good reason for its very existence.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.2/10

Sandler could very well have scribbled the script on the back of the cheque he and his co-writers were given in advance to produce a sequel, any sequel - just a movie with the number two in it - which happens to be the number of times you will laugh.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/5

The unfunny and unengaging Grown Ups 2 aims for the lowest possible comedy targets and fails to hit even those.

Full Review | Original Score: 4 out of 10

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