Why bother with voices and costumes when you can just throw on a T-shirt, walk onto the set, and be yourself? The movies in which Sandler plays a distinct character (like Zohan, for example) are few and far between. He plays a guy who dresses, talks, and acts like Adam Sandler his real-life friends play the other characters and it's written, produced, and directed by some combination of the handful of guys who write, produce, and direct everything he does. It only seems like it because his movies tend to be interchangeable.
#GROWN UPS 2 CAST KIDS MOVIE#
Paying full price for a type of movie like this is just wasting your time and money.Believe it or not, Adam Sandler has never been in a sequel before. Save your hard earned cash on another movie or just attend a matinée. This movie can have its moments and is not entirely bad, but it's just so formulaic and "been- there-done-that" that it's not even funny. Grown Ups knows its formulaic and very dry, but they just want to give the audience a fun outing, which they do, but then what's the point? This is the type of film you watch on a rainy Saturday night with nothing possibly better to do or no other film you want on Redbox is available, yet this one is. Overall, "Grown Ups" could possibly win the award for the most cliché Hollywood film of the century, although, surprisingly, that's sort of a complement. I mean if you have a by-the-numbers plot, typical performances, and a been-there-done-that tone, then what's the point of making a movie? When making a movie it should be at least twenty five percent different then what audiences have seen or else they're paying to see the same mediocrity over and over again. Furthermore, I thought the whole movie was pointless. I mean, who speaks like that? So nonsensical. Moreover, I thought the dialog was just awful. Sadly, the route the movie mostly took was the childish aspect and the formulaic stereotypical jokes. The more childish humor had no substance and just came off very dry. The more mature jokes had a lot more depth and the pay-off was very good. I thought that movie had wasted potential. I'm not saying it's humorous, but it sure does have some slightly funny times. Moreover, this movie does have its moments. And actually, the characters are pretty likable, but still are pretty two-dimensional. Moreover, the performances aren't too shabby either. Your mind won't wander throughout and it's not nearly half as bad as most would expect. For a redeeming quality, the movie is pretty entertaining. It can't get more paper-thin then that right? It's kind of hard to nitpick this movie and to compile a list of positives because for everything that's bad about this movie it's good, and everything that's good about this movie, it's bad. Now these men have grown up and decide to venture out on a nice vacation and stay at a cabin. "Grown Ups" revolves around a bunch of buddies that reunite when they find out that their basketball coach has passed away. However, it is still far away from being a good movie because of how familiar it seems. It isn't as awful as one would expect because it's so cliché that it possibly cannot be a disappointment. In "Grown Up's" defense, that's actually a complement. It also has that by-the-numbers pattern of raunchy humor, thrown in with some childish jokes, and then the inevitable "feel good" vibe. ** out of (****) "Grown Ups" is that typical summer comedy that couldn't be more predictable, more formulaic, or more unoriginal then it is.
