Adam Sandler and his frequent costars (Chris Rock, Kevin James, David Spade, and Rob Schneider) grope blindly for maturity in the genial comedy Grown Ups. Five childhood pals are drawn back together after the death of their former basketball coach; over the course of a Fourth of July weekend, they--along with their wildly attractive wives (played by Salma Hayek, Maria Bello, Maya Rudolph) and precocious children--loosen up, try to introduce their kids to the simple pleasures of nature, air some dirty laundry, and rediscover their friendship. In other words, it's a fairly formulaic comedy that veers awkwardly from gags (ranging from slapstick to mean-spiritedness) to sentiment (ranging from sappy to not entirely sappy). Its appeal will depend entirely on your feelings about Sandler and the rest of the gang--if you like this bunch of lugs (in all their prolonged adolescent glory), then you'll like this movie. If you don't, you won't. Everyone's in relaxed but good form; affable is more the comic goal than razor sharp. Expect gags about being fat, being old, prolonged breast-feeding, ogling hot chicks, flatulence, etc. There's some role reversal: it's the women, particularly Hayek as a type-A fashion designer, who need to learn the eternal cinematic lesson that family is more important than work. Featuring guest appearances from Tim Meadows, Colin Quinn, and Steve Buscemi. --Bret Fetzer

5.0 out of 5 stars Love this movie October 19, 2010

By D. L. Daniel

Format:DVD

I loved this movie. The casting was great. All the characters were lovable and it reminded me of how I grew up as a kid. I thought it was definitely entertaining for people of all ages but especially those of us that grew up in a time where there were no computers, no cell phones, and we had to come up with our own games to entertain us. (without getting killed)It's an enjoyable, entertaining movie with a happy ending and it promotes spending time together as a family and the importance of good friends. What more could you ask for?? I highly recommend this movie. I saw it twice and I can't wait to see it again.

5.0 out of 5 stars Funny, pleasant and enjoyable September 6, 2010

By Big Mike

Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase

I desperately wanted to enjoy Kevin James in Paul Blart: Mall Cop. I still believe it was only his lack of a strong supporting cast that kept it from being truly funny and was also what made it woefully thin on laughs. This is thankfully not the case with Grown Ups. Here Kevin James is well supported by an excellent comedy team and it works very well. My wife reluctantly went with me to see Grown Ups saying that she didn't like "slapstick comedies". Well, she laughed much more than I have heard laugh her in a very long time and she came away saying that she really enjoyed the film. The film has done very well at the box office despite many negative reviews (as did Paul Blart: Mall Cop) and it does seem to be much more popular with filmgoers than film critics. I personally think it is a much better and much funnier film than Couples Retreat. It is hard to think of Kevin James as any character other than his The King of Queens "Doug Heffernan" and David Spade really just seems to be basically playing a character much like his Rules of Engagement one, Russell in Grown Ups. An added bonus for me in Grown Ups is the presence of the very lovely Maria Bello as the wife of Kevin James. I like the film very much and I had a great time. I will definitely get it on DVD and I hope there will be a lot of bonuses, especially some deleted scenes and maybe even a gag reel.

2.0 out of 5 stars A Good time, if you're Sandler and his friends April 29, 2011

By Jim

Format:DVD

If you enjoyed seeing Adam Sandler, Rob Schneider, David Spade and Chris Rock together in the 90's on SNL, then I recommend, just watching their old SNL skits again. In Grown Ups they obviously enjoy hanging out and making each other laugh since that's all the movie is about. They might as well have just recorded themselves unscripted hanging out and released it as a movie.
While the funny Kevin James is just wasted in all these Happy Madison movies as their new fat clumsy guy. Don't get me wrong, Chris Farley was hilarious, if you don't believe me, watch his SNL skits. But even he would have been wasted in this movie, even though he would have enjoyed hanging out with his buddies. The material is just flat though and these guys made each other laugh, more than they made me laugh.

2.0 out of 5 stars Who wrote the jokes for this movie??! Not funny at all! December 23, 2010

By J. Kim

Format:DVD

Who wrote the jokes for this movie? The jokes were like written for the 1920's or something. Very banal humor. I think whomever wrote the jokes were high or giddy (or both) and thought they would be funny because they were in such a giddy mood. If you like smart, zingy, perverted, or witty humor...then this is NOT the movie for you to watch. I guess they put all these "funnymen" together and thought the laughs would be handed to them. No wonder they were pushing this release so hard with all the actors promoting it on talk shows and NBA games...because it was a desperate move. Don't even rent this movie....you won't be able to get a laugh through the whole movie.

2.0 out of 5 stars Um, what? November 29, 2010

By Andrew Ellington VINE™ VOICE

Format:DVD

I was excited about this, for god knows why. I mean, I have grown tired of Sandler, and I was never really a fan of Schneider, but Spade and Rock and particularly James have always made me laugh, or at least smile, so the prospect of seeing them all together in a `no holds bar' type family comedy seemed interesting, and promising. In the end though, this film is just awkward. Sandler has forgotten how to edit and doesn't know when to stop pushing a good thing when he has it. When you have scenes to establish friendships that consist of nothing more than five minutes of verbal jokes at friends expenses it becomes tired, redundant and, sadly, unfunny. This also felt like a lazily constructed comedic version of `Why Did I Get Married' too, and that's saying a lot since Tyler Perry's film was pretty lazily put together itself. The acting is hit or miss, but acting isn't the point here. It is the endless gags that suffer from being too overly compacted to the point where the audience never gets a break. It works in that you don't have time to dwell on the failed gags before one that marginally works catches your eye, but in the end `Grown Ups' feels hugely uninspired and preposterous. The whole `warm family moments' don't ring true and the loopy development of the actual families is so blatantly obviously manufactured that it takes away from the films marginal appeal. Thankfully Kevin James is funny and Maria Bello is hot. Outside of those two positives, `Grown Ups' is a clichéd mess of a film. The only reason I'm not giving it an F is because I kind of feel like this film is exactly what it wanted to be.
