There’s nothing wrong with a good silly movie and “Grown Ups 2” had the chance to be just that, but I just wish it was silly AND about something other than a moose urinating on Sandler’s unsuspecting family, and by extension, the audience. grownups grownups2 We 136k Likes, 3,081 Comments - David Spade (davidspade) on Instagram: I cant believe 10 years ago this came out. I didn’t expect a searing meditation on aging but I did think they might touch on the fact that they were growing old with more smarts than lines like, “I used to buy ten cases of beer for my parties, now I get ten cases of juice boxes.” This & Grown Ups 2 are some of the funnest times I’ve This & Grown Ups 2 are some of the funnest times I’ve had my whole life. James’ deadpan dumb kid who can’t add or spell is a funny running gag, Hayek does a pretty good Sofía Vergara imitation and O’Neal’s oversized antics are fun but for a movie about growing up it is all so juvenile. That’s not to say there are no laughs at all. Not to mention the there are the wives in the whole equation, consisting of: Roxie Chase-Feder (Salma Hayek), Sally Lamonsoff (Maria Bello), and Deanne. In fact there may be more recognizable faces here than true laughs. Grown Ups 2 is directed by Dennis Dugan, and it follows the lives of Lenny Feder (Adam Sandler), Eric Lamonsoff (Kevin James), Kurt Mckenzie (Chris Rock), and Higgy Higgins (David Spade). In addition to the above-the-title actors there’s cameos by everyone from Colin Quinn, Tim Meadows, Georgia Engel and Steve Buscemi to name a few. Rob Schneider did not resprise his role from the first film due to scheduling conflicts. It features an ensemble cast including Sandler, Kevin James, Chris Rock, David Spade and Salma Hayek. The film is the sequel to Grown Ups (2010).

The movie comes equipped with an all-star comedy cast. Grown Ups 2 is a 2013 comedy film directed by Dennis Dugan, and produced by Adam Sandler. It’s the last day of school, and as the kids are packing up their books, their fathers (Kevin James, Chris Rock and David Spade) grapple with growing up, growing old and a gang of frat boys (lead by “Twilight’s” Taylor Lautner) who think the four old friends are WAY over the hill. Lenny (Adam Sandler in his first ever sequel) has relocated his wife (Salma Hayek) and kids back to his hometown to be closer to friends and family. “Grown Ups 2” picks up where the last movie left off. I didn’t really think so, although I have to say Shaquille O’Neal’s big-guy-Andre-the-Giant schick made me laugh. Now, Alexander Ludwig shifts to comedy as he plays Braden, the long lost son of David Spades character in Columbia Pictures Grown Ups 2.

So while the actors may have matured (chronologically at least) the jokes haven’t.

It’s ninety minutes of middle-aged men, urination gags (too many to count) and cleavage shots. The old saying, “They got bigger, but they didn’t grow up,” perfectly applies to this new Sandler and Company movie.
