"Grown Ups" is like that date you've been expecting to go on with this really amazing girl for months. You do all you prep work and are really just ready to sit back and enjoy. At which point, she turns out to be a dull, dimwitted bimbo who didn't even give you a goodnight kiss at the end of the date.
Grown Ups stars Adam Sandler, Kevin James, Chris Rock, Rob Schneider and David Spade, a fantastic cast of very funny people who are all friends in real life, which really helped this movie out a ton. The film overall, never really went anywhere, it's as if the screenplay was just each cast member saying a funny lie and that's it, then the movie ends 2 hours later.
My Burn: PG-13...WTF?! If this movie focused on adult humor and situations instead of family oriented and a PG-13 rating, this film would have been sooooooo much better. Shame on you Happy Madison productions for just wanting to make more cash with a PG-13 rating.
Bottom Line: If you're fans of these guys like I am, see it, it's worth the rent, I wouldn't see it in theaters. If you're not really all gung ho on these comedic actors, then I'd stay away.

Good review man. I totally agree with you on the whole "PG-13 rating" thing. I think I would have liked it a lot more if it had had more adult humour.

I'll defiantly rent this one. You can't really compare it to Funny People because that had Seth Rogan and Jonah Hill in it, and it had a great director. I love Kevin James (I love The King of Queens, lol) but I really dislike everyone else. And just to add, I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry is one of the worst movies I have ever seen. Anyways, good review. Some people say it's hilarious (mostly people I know) but the critics say it's pretty bad, so I'll give it a rent when it com

I enjoyed this one! Interesting review. Why would you want a kiss from a dull, dimwitted bimbo anyway?

I totally agree about the PG-13 deal. I think if this was an R rated movie, it would've been so much better.I'm definitely going to pass on this though, the trailer didn't even get a snicker out of me.Great job though! Thumbs up!

You gave it a favorable rating???? Below 50 is rotten. This blows and has blown everytime it was advertised.

It actually looks like they're trying to have it both ways, and don't go far enough with either family or adult humour.
