The new Adam Sandler comedy about five friends – Sandler, Chris Rock, Rob Schnieder, Kevin James and David Spade – who meet up later in life to honour the passing of their childhood basketball coach. With their wives – Salma Hayek, Maria Bello, Maya Rudolph – and kids in tow, they spend a holiday weekend together, celebrating the glory of their championship years and tapping into their youth.
Co-written by Sandler and directed by his go-to-man, Dennis Dugan (Happy Gilmore, Big Daddy, I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry).
Been a longtime fan of Adam Sandler since Billy Madison. Loved this movie good funny moments classic bits that are a bit dodgy but overall worth a watch again.
I was expecting a couple of laughs, I got one and I'd already seen it in the films trailer. This would be enjoyable as a movie you happened across on the tv, but no so much if you have to pay for it, that includes on dvd.
Didn't enjoy this movie would agree that it pretty much has no plot.
These guys surely have enough money to risk it on something even slightly challenging, funny or subversive. Instead you get another formulaic, unfunny outing from Sandler and Co. If you like going to a movie knowing what you're going to get - safe, lame and tired comedy - then this is everything you need. Fast food for your brain.
great movie,with a good cast and a few good laughs
A pleasant, genial, good-hearted, sometimes icky comedy that's like spending a weekend with well-meaning people you don't want to see again any time real soon.
Grown Ups elicits more groans than laughs.
Smug and lazy comedy that barely raises a chuckle.
If root canal surgery feels too childish a torment, may we direct your attention to this ghastly celebrity roast in the guise of a boisterous family comedy.
Despite the lazily self-satisfied results, his (Sandler) aging fan base likely will come along for the lackadaisical ride.
