Grown Ups

Adam Sandler, Chris Rock, Rob Schneider, Kevin James and David Spade all in one movie? You know things are going to get out of hand. And they do. The five guys are old friends from Middle School, who reunite at a lake house many years later as “grown-ups”.

Complete with kids and odd wives, the guys reminisce about days gone by and share the details of their “normal” adult lives. They do ridiculous things and embarrass themselves frequently, all the while trying really hard to be extra funny. I will not deny that there are some really funny scenes, and you will snort out loud. On the flip side, the comedy is not so funny that you’ll want to own it forever on Blue Ray. It’s entertaining, not hysterical. It’s a watchable flick, not a classic. The sheer number of comic heavyweights in the film will no doubt attract millions of moviegoers, but I predict many will feel slightly disappointed at the mediocre result.

Rating: 3 outta 5.
