Grown Ups (1:42) 2010

Grown Ups was released last summer among poor reviews. The reviewers were correct in saying that it was full of cheap jokes, bathroom humor and no plot. The film stars some of the top comedy actors of our day, Adam Sandler, Chris Rock and Kevin James are three of the them. The storyline revolves around the reunion of five friends who played C.Y.O. basketball for the funeral of their former coach. The successful Hollywood agent, Sandler, rents a lodge for his friends and their families. It is a typical reunion story, the men have taken different routes, some more successful than others. The reunion weekend is also a time for the men to reconnect with their wives and children. I could understand 10 -12 year old preteens enjoying this movie but there is much for adults other than some slapstick comedy and cheap jokes. The characters are likable, the families treat each other nicely even before they reconnect. If you see it, it will probably meet your low expectations.
