This is an awful train wreck of a movie, and Grown Ups 2 joins the list of unnecessary sequels, but this one just stands out because, the original film was awful, and this sequel is just as bad as the original. Grown Ups 2, is yet again a collection of washed up comedians, who try way too hard at making you laugh with bad jokes and awful acting. I liked a few of his films, but now, he just doesn't have that spark that made him amusing in such films like Happy Gilmore. Well, unfortunately that wasn't to because, this lame comedian still find work. When Jack and Jill came out, and it showed us how incredibly awful he had become, I expected him to fall off the map. With Grown Ups 2, Adam Sandler just shows how much of a train wreck he has become. Really, who wanted a sequel to Grown Ups? The first one was bad, and had no redeeming qualities. Every film he makes is unfunny, pointless and a complete waste of time. It surprises me that Adam Sandler still has a career. Grown Ups 2 is such a film, one that doesn't have any good laughs going for it. Adam Sandler was pretty funny back when he made Happy Gilmore, Big Daddy and The Wedding Singer, but nowadays, he just makes bad films that have no merit.

And there are so many appearances by former Saturday Night Live cast members that the movie begins to look like a benefit for the SNL Pension Fund.Grown Ups 2 is a horrible piece of garbage that baffles me because why would they make a sequel to a really bad film. Geils Band actually performs during the '80s-themed party that serves, just barely, as a finale. Director Dennis Dugan, a longtime Sandler enabler, lines up the episodes competently but without anything more than a rudimentary sense of structure.Īdding to the grab-bag feel are a large number of cameos: Shaquille O'Neal and Steve Buscemi take minor roles, and Twilight werewolf Taylor Lautner flexes and flares as a shirtless frat boy who leads his fellow meatheads in clashes with the older guys.

Even more than the first one, Grown Ups 2 is a series of riffs, skits and sight gags, barely integrated into anything resembling continuity. To call these plot points would be to overstate their importance. And two teenage offspring ponder their first dates. Marcus, meanwhile, meets the son he didn't know he'd fathered, who turns out to be large and threatening. Eric is spending too much time with his mother (Georgia Engel, still riffing on her Mary Tyler Moore Show role as Ted Baxter's naive girlfriend). Roxanne wants to have a fourth child, but Lenny is reluctant. Sandler is Lenny, a Hollywood agent who's now relocated to the small Massachusetts town of his youth, supposedly because it's a more wholesome place for the three kids he's raising with wife Roxanne (Salma Hayek).Īlso living there are Marcus (David Spade), a single man with odd taste in women, and two couples: Kurt and Deanne (Chris Rock and Maya Rudolph) and Eric and Sally (Kevin James and Maria Bello), who have multiple children - although not the exact same lineups they had previously. Rob Schneider couldn't make it to the set for the second installment, it seems, but the other principals play the same roles as before.
It's a fitting introduction to the movie's tone. Indeed the story opens with a sequence in which a large male deer urinates copiously on not one but two of the characters. That means some creepy sexual insinuations, if not so many as the first time.īut excreta and flatulence are the movie's two true fixations (with projectile vomiting running a strong third). Like its predecessor, this is a vehicle for Adam Sandler, his pals and whatever they think they can get away with. The genre has become less knowing since then, so the follow-up to 2010's Grown Ups is named simply Grown Ups 2. Two decades ago, when stupid Hollywood comedies were relatively smart, they lampooned their own sequelitis with titles like Hot Shots! Part Deux. With: Adam Sandler, Kevin James, Chris Rock Rated PG-13 for crude and suggestive content, language and some male rear nudity
