Director: Dennis Dugan
Why does this movie even exist?
Were there people clamoring for a sequel to the tepid 2010 film Grown Ups? The first movie was
successful but mediocre and forgettable. The fact that this beat Pacific Rim at the box office makes me
sad for humanity.
The four stars from the previous
film, Adam Sandler, Chris Rock, Kevin James, and David Spade. I feel bad for
Chris Rock, who is by far the most talented one. Rob Schneider didn’t come back
for the sequel; apparently this film was too bad even for Rob Schneider.
Supporting actresses Salma Hayek, Maria Bello, and Maya Rudolph return as well.
Steve Buscemi appears as well. I know he’s a Sandler regular, but isn't he too
good for these types of roles nowadays?
Grown
Ups 2 uses pretty much every comedy movie cliché and juvenile type of
humor. There are urine jokes, vomit jokes, and misogynistic humor. There’s even
a stereotypical group of jerky frat guys. This movie has no point and no plot. It’s just
an excuse for one terrible (usually gross) joke after another.
One example of an offensive scene
involves Jon Lovitz as a janitor pretending to be a fitness instructor. He tells the women to jiggle themselves, then
bend over and smack their asses. They don’t notice anything odd about this
until the real instructor enters. Apparently, in the world of Grown Ups, all
women are mentally handicapped.
I would highly recommend avoiding
this film. In fact, it’s probably the worst film I've seen all year.
RATING: 1/10
