My review: Grown Ups 2
Sandler and his on-screen and off-screen friends are back with another attempt to trivialize the taste of audience and to slander the genre, comedy with their apologetic movie, "Grown Ups 2". What they intended to achieve by making this horribly bad movie is difficult to fathom. Though movie has an impressive line up of proven comical talent like Adam Sandler, Kevin James, Chris Rock and David Spade, movie doesn't have much to laugh about. Only thing that makes one laugh is at oneself lamenting the bad time which would be the only reason any one would even think of going anywhere near the theater showing this movie.
Written by Adam Sandler, Tim Herlihy and Fred Wolf and directed by Sandler's constant Dennis Dungan, "Grown Ups 2" sees the quartet now living in the same place where they grew up but not yet "Grown up". Faced with their own off-springs going through what they went through during their high-school years, movie is all about how they realize the growing up of their children.
Lame writing, disgusting sequences with lots of vomitus, farts and below-the-belt jokes, inability to make the viewers smile even for a fraction of second, pathetic acting, beaten-to-death- family values , underdog vs bullies, and boring slapstick comedy, just about summarizes what this movie is all about.

This time around the energy and verve which is so typical of Adam Sandler is totally missing. He just sleep walks through the movie. Kevin James hardly gets any noteworthy sequence while Chris Rock is irritating. David Spade also gets limited opportunity. Salma Hayek in a totally forgettable role where her acting has regressed to her early television days.
On the whole, "Grown Ups 2" is one of the lamest and most disgusting movies in recent times. Watch it at your own peril.
Bottomline: Asinine
1/5
