Grown Ups

Critics Consensus

Grown Ups' cast of comedy vets is amiable, but they're let down by flat direction and the scattershot, lowbrow humor of a stunted script.

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, Kevin James, David Spade, and Rob Schneider star in a film written by Sandler and Fred Wolf, and directed by Dennis Dugan (I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry, You Don't Mess with the Zohan). Maria Bello, Salma Hayek, and Maya Rudolph co-star. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Audience Reviews for Grown Ups

  • Feb 12, 2016
    While it has its moments, this movie is ultimately an unfunny effort from an Adam Sandler who is simply trying to make some extra pocket cash.
    Paul F Super Reviewer

    An absolutely horrendous film. Not funny, not entertaining, and certainly not well made. The shots are as flat as the script, and the characters don't even mesh well. It's tired comedic stars trying to stay in the game - and failing.
    Jason 123 D Super Reviewer

    For an Adam Sandler/Dennis Dugan collaboration, "Grown Ups" isn't as horrible as it probably should have been. Of course, it is meandering and plotless and largely unfunny, and I wouldn't recommend it to a single soul, but the cast seems to be having fun with one another and the soundtrack features some great songs. The main problem is that it's a movie meant for men around the same as its characters, but only kids and idiots will find any humor in its "jokes."

    Adam Sandler and his entire clan join together for a somewhat-formidable film in Grown Ups. The film presents the solid chemistry that Sandler, James, Rock, Spade and Schneider possess so naturally. But the film becomes loose as it possess no true plot or storyline besides just the characters themselves. Sandler fans will enjoy the film, as comic moviegoers will only find this a decent summer flick. 3.5/5
