At their age, these wimpy adults should know better. It’s like they're trying to make Diary of a Wimpy Kid, adult edition-minus any of the charm, heart, or values of that popular series for kids. The friends' escapades range from treating K-Mart like an adult playground to ogling the dance teacher at Lenny's daughter's recital to exchanging insults with the frat boys and jumping naked off a cliff. Since the town's police force seems only too willing to join in the "fun," there’s no one to tell this bunch of middle-aged losers 'no' except a gang of hostile frat boys. Apparently none of these grown men has any concept of responsibility they're happy to spend their time goofing off and hiding from their wives, women only slightly more adult than their husbands. Viewers spend the day following Lenny and his buddies around town as they go from one immature stunt to the next. The basic premise is this: Lenny (Sandler, That's My Boy) has moved his family from Los Angeles to his hometown so his kids can grow up with his friends' kids. What on earth did they do to earn their paychecks, sit around and drink beer all day until they came up with recurring plot points like the "burpsnart" (a simultaneous expression of bodily functions only an adolescent male could love)? What were they thinking? There are five credited writers, including star Adam Sandler, which is amazing considering there's no story and nothing that resembles a script. As the minutes drag by, one sexual innuendo follows another, occasionally interrupted by reckless stupidity, childish name-calling, and bad behavior by everyone on the screen. Unless perhaps you’re an adolescent boy whose parents were ill-advised to let you see this string of sex gags and bad attitude masquerading as a major motion picture. It's billed as a comedy, but there's nothing funny about it, either. There’s nothing grown up about Grown Ups 2. Rating: PG-13 for crude and suggestive content, language and some male rear nudityĬast: Adam Sandler, Kevin James, Chris Rock, David Spade, Salma Hayek Pinault, Maya Rudolph, Maria Bello, Nick Swardson, Steve Buscemi, Tim Meadows, Jon Lovitz
