Grown Ups 2

Plot synopsis:
Three years after the events of the first film, Lenny Feder has relocated his family back to his Connecticut hometown of Stanton where he and his friends grew up.
In the film's opening in the Feder household, Lenny wakes up to find a wild deer standing next to his bed. Lenny tries to get his wife Roxanne to open the window. She wakes up in anger and startles the deer, causing it to urinate all over the bed and on Lenny. The deer runs down the hall and crashes into the bathroom where it runs into Lenny's eldest son Greg showering scaring him and making the deer urinate on him. It turns out that Lenny's younger daughter, Becky, left the door open overnight for any animals that wanted to come in. Lenny is able to get the deer out of the house by using Becky's monkey doll, which rips it apart, devastating her. Greg, Keith, and Becky then go to their last day of school. Roxanne brings up the idea of their family having another baby, but Lenny says their family is perfect as is, upsetting Roxanne.
At the Lamonsoff household, Eric Lamonsoff and his wife Sally are at odds with each other over how to raise their children- Sally believes in unwavering support while Eric prefers to be more practical with them, as proven for their son's bad math skills and daughter's rambuncious sense in fashion. At the McKenzie household, Kurt surprises his wife Deanne with a thoughtful anniversary present, only to find that she has completely forgotten. Meanwhile, Marcus Higgins is waiting at a train station after receiving a letter from an old girlfriend, who tells him that he has a seventeen-year-old son Braden. Marcus is stunned to see a tattooed, six-foot-tall boy, who turns out to be Braden. Marcus tries to be nice and takes him to school, but Braden shows an immediate dislike toward him, believing that he abandoned him and his mother.
After dropping off their kids, Lenny, Eric, Kurt, and Marcus spend the day roaming around town, reminiscing about the amazing summers they used to have when they were kids and Lenny's childhood bully, Tommy Cavanaugh. Lenny argues that he could take Tommy as a kid and he can still take him. Eventually, the friends go to see Becky's ballet recital, where Lenny runs into Tommy, whom Lenny is visibly terrified of. Tommy threatens that if Lenny ever lies again about being able to beat him up, he'll publicly beat Lenny up.
Once the kids are out of school, Lenny, Eric, Kurt, and Marcus decide to visit the old quarry, where they used to swim as kids. However, they run into a gang of partying frat boys who force them to jump into the quarry lake naked. Braden, who was partying with the frat boys, witnesses this and goes off to vandalize their frat house. When the frat boys return, they swear to take revenge.
Lenny arrives home to help Roxanne set up for a 1980s-themed party for their friends. Meanwhile, Marcus begins to bond with Braden. As all of their friends begin to arrive, Roxanne urges Lenny to consider having another baby. Lenny continues to protest the idea and is left dumbfounded when Roxanne reveals that she is pregnant. Lenny, feeling overwhelmed by this discovery, goes off to drink with his friends. The Feder's party goes well most of the night until Tommy Cavanaugh shows up and disrespects Lenny in front of everyone, so Lenny challenges Tommy to a fight. In a surprising turn, Tommy decides to take a dive so that Lenny can look tough for his own bullied son, and the two develop a mutual respect. Soon after, the angry frat boys arrive at the house looking for retribution for the damage to their frat house. When they go on to insult the local town residents, Dickie Bailey, Lenny's old nemesis, points out that Lenny accomplished more in his life than the entire frat put together, inciting a fight. The locals hold their own against the frat boys and eventually send them running away defeated.
After all the commotion dies down, the four friends, plus Bailey, have pancakes at Eric's mom's house. After sharing an embarrassing photo of him and Bailey in kindergarten (they had been childhood friends before their personal lives drove them apart), Mrs. Lamonsoff reassures Lenny that a new baby is a wonderful thing and eventually he will never be able to imagine life with just three kids (and also mentions that Eric was an accidental baby because she and her husband had sex in the bathroom at a New England Patriots game). Lenny has a change of heart and returns home, telling Roxanne he is sorry and excited about the new baby, and they reconcile.

Review:
There I sat, in stone-cold silence, not completely watching, but observing Grown Ups 2, one of the most desperate comedies of the year.
Smiling maybe twice, groaning several times, rolling my eyes several more, and eventually closing them for a few seconds trying to imagine what a movie like this could've been if the quality of the talent matched the quality of the three screenwriters behind this project.The first Grown Ups film wasn't great - or even good - by any means, but had the vibe of a cheery, stupid ABC Family movie.
Adam Sandler can be funny when he is given timing and a decent character, Kevin James can always be sweet, simple, and relatable, Chris Rock is one of the funniest comedians working today, and David Spade almost always knocks one out of the park in Rules of Engagement.
However, the first inkling that Grown Ups 2 is terrible is by the sole fact that Rob Schneider himself decided other matters were worth is time than making a film that was almost guaranteed to be a hit.The entire event is a plot less picture (not the good kind) that provides its audience with a pathetic array of scenes that seem more like throwaway skits from Saturday Night Live.
It takes place entirely on the last day of school and revolves around the gang of Lenny (Adam Sandler), Eric (Kevin James), Kurt (Chris Rock), and Marcus (David Spade) returns, this time welcoming a more quiet, suburban lifestyle contrary to that of Lenny's in Hollywood, and the ridiculous series of sitcom antics that unfold overtime.The plot stops there.
At least with various Sandler films like Happy Gilmore, Big Daddy, and even the unexpectedly raunchy That's My Boy, I could sense that it was made for somebody, be it adolescents or a bit older of a crowd and stuck with that persona.
There are certain things I expect Sandler to be over now, what with approaching fifty in a few years.You have a choice as a moviegoer this weekend and the several other weekends Grown Ups 2 is going to play.
Starring: Adam Sandler, Kevin James, Chris Rock, David Spade, Salma Hayek, Maya Rudolph, Maria Bello, Nick Swardson, Shaquille O'Neal, Peter Dante, and Allen Covert.
I am one of those who actually liked the first Grown Ups. It had a plot, good characters and lots of fun.
Maybe it's time to retire Mr. Sandler.All in all, do not waste your money on this awful movie..
Half way through this movie I stopped it and watched "Sharknado"...The best actor in this movie was a giant ex-NBA player-and he was horrible...Congress should preemptively pass a law forbidding the making of 'Grown Ups 3"...This is the first non-horror film to cause me to have nightmares...After watching this, I now hate the first "Grown Ups"...Forced viewing of this movie should replace water boarding at Guantanamo Bay...All who read this, it's too late for me, but please save yourselves and don't watch this film...SERIUOSLY FOLKS: I DID NOT LAUGH AT ONE JOKE THIS ENTIRE MOVIE.
but this, this is the definition of a horrible movie, terrible acting with a stupid story and awful humor, this crap didn't even make me laugh once.
I guess its a way to make a quick buck in the industry, stick to real comedies, like This Is The End. Its a very funny movie :) Don't get me wrong, old adam sandler movies are funny, but he doesn't have the touch anymore..
Despite being universally panned by critics and movie goers, Grown-Ups managed to perform well enough at the box office to warrant a sequel.The plot follows Lenny (Adam Sandler) who has moved his family to the town he and his friends grew up in, there he meets up with his friends (Kevin James, David Spade, Chris Rock and Nick Swardson.With the exception of a few additional cast members and many failed attempts at teaching morals, this movie is essentially the first movie.
Grown-Ups 2 has some jokes that made me crack a smile, or chuckle, but has absolutely no plot, it's like watching a mash-up of jokes play out in front of you, rather then watching a movie thats funny.
Below average, but watchable.Grown Ups 2, however, is the worst film I have ever watched.
a great simple , idiotic humoured movie the way Sander did in the old days.It's cheesy, stupid and has some real funny moments for those who know what happy Madison's are about.
but what I don't understand is how they can love a film as stupid as this, and hate a movie like Gravity.
Gravity is not made using conventional or normal methods of film making, which a lot people do not like or appreciate the first time they see it.
Honestly this movie has a bunch of 30-40 year old acting like a bunch of children, the humor is just really dry and awful and quite frankly makes the actors look stupid and to top it all off...WHAT A STUPID STORY LINE!!!.
Every character in this movie was degrading and portrayed as a loser, I would not want my kids to learn their actions.Overall if you want to watch something that is mindless, stupid, and cringy then watch it, but for people who don't like fart jokes, stay away from it like fire..
For those who didn't like this after having watched the first one,don't play fools forgetting jokes and surprising funny moments are what comedies are all about.
Without a doubt, "Grown Ups 2" is the worst movie I've seen this year.It's fascinatingly bad - the film starts and...
I know that Adam Sandler regularly wins awards for his lack of performance, but this film truly is painful to watch - I would have left the cinema but for the fact my11 year old so wanted to see the film, and we were holidaying in unfamiliar territory in the USA.
how did we get to "Grown ups" becoming a franchise from classic movies like "Duck Soup" which used to make the World laugh?
I think there will be a fair few that didn't like the movie because it was stupid in parts but guess what people it is a comedy there suppose to be silly and stupid.
usually I'm a big Adam Sandler fan so i was a little disappointed with this.The main problem was the film took about half an hour before anything remotely funny was happening.I preferred the first grown ups film which at points had me in hysterics.At times it was just too noticeable that certain parts were fake and that ruined most of the attempts to be funny.With such a good group of actors i expected a lot more.All in all i would stick to earlier Adam Sandler Films.
This time we hit another comedy sequel starring one of the most famous big kids in the world (Adam Sandler) and his gang.
You've seen these roles plenty of times now to know if you want to see them again, where those who are tired or can't stand these actors wanting to avoid this movie like the plague.
Grown Ups 2 could have been just as cute and entertaining as the first movie had they not crammed so many people into such a small time frame.
I've already admitted there is some well timed moment that will have you laughing, but Grown Ups 2 felt like a mash up of too much stupidity rolled into one package.
Grown Ups 2 is a fun movie for those who just want to laugh at constant comedic jabs.
Fans of Adam Sandler or any of the Happy Madison crew will still enjoy the tried and true characters from the films, because they are the same guys we've seen for over decade.
I think the main flaw in this movie is that it tries too hard to be funny, forced fun is not funny it's like being tickled by a bully for a long time, you may laugh a bit at the time but it leaves humiliated, and that's what this film is like.
I really hope that Adam Sandler actually tries in his next film and makes one that is worth my time like Happy Gilmore.
Sadly, I expect to see more movies like Jack and Jill and Grown Ups in the upcoming future..
GROWN UPS 2 is a very bad movie that is so by-the-numbers that it's easy to see why it's making so much money at the box office.
For the most part people are getting what they pay for, which is cheap, child-like jokes that are aimed at small kids who don't know any better that they're actually watching trash.
I don't think many people liked the original Grown Ups but I genuinely thought it was quite funny.
This is one of the worst movies I have ever seen, but just to make things clear I don't hate Adam Sandler.
Not all of his movies are this horrific, but because of the crimes that this puts to film, it makes a very strong case of reasons to dislike Adam Sandler.Well, I can't say that I was surprised by how bad it was, as after watching the trailer, my expectations were pretty much rock bottom.
You know that when a movie starts with a deer peeing into multiple people's faces, it isn't going to be the comedy of the year.
There are countless gags in the movie but anyone over the age of 12 will not find them funny, this is basically a film with endless potty jokes and it really is only for the simple minded.When I was in the cinema it felt like Grown Ups 2 was playing for a year, I would check my watch every 10 minutes or so to see when this hellish film would end, but alas it continued to drone on and on and on So if you find yourself in the cinema watching Grown Ups 2, don't say I didn't warn you.
I wouldn't be surprised if that within the next 3 years there will be a Grown Ups 3, and that movie will be even more distasteful than the last, with poop and fart jokes every 30 seconds.
By the end of it you'll realise that the only people who are laughing are Adam Sandler and his friends as they rake in the big bucks, for what is undoubtedly the worst movie of the year..
I saw this movie a few days ago and have to say OMG it was such a "B" movie, no plot, the usual humor of Adam Sandler and especially David Spade!
It was scattered all over the place the guys act pointless to the movie and the only person who I thought was alright was Kevin James but that thing with his mother was like what!
The party scene was pointless and the costumes with Nick Swardson was just funny to see him in a movie like this I thought he was better in Just Go With it.
I didn't start watching the film thinking it was gonna be the best movie ever made, but I still enjoyed it.
A Sequel to Grown Ups, 'Grown Ups 2' is a funny sequel that raises laughs, although the humor is childish & even embarrassing at times.'Grown Ups 2' Synopsis: After moving his family back to his hometown to be with his friends and their kids, Lenny finds out that between old bullies, new bullies, schizo bus drivers, drunk cops on skis, and 400 costumed party crashers sometimes crazy follows you.'Grown Ups 2' is strictly meant for those who enjoy Comedies that offer childish humor.
The good part of watching Adam Sandler's films are that they are hilarious, funny and entertaining.
Maybe afterwards they can have a group therapy session to ease the life- long guilt of spending hard earned cash to see this movie.Also on a side note about the Jewish golden boy that is Adam Sandler; You can't base an entire career on Jew jokes.
You are comedy scum.I spent more time out of my life writing this "review" than the writers did thinking of the plot of this movie.
Because I'm willing to bet that you shelled out more money from your greasy little pockets to get this plague into theaters than you actually made by people viewing it.I hope you go home every night feeling like you just witnessed the Holocaust, and I hope your wife doesn't let you touch her anymore.This movie is garbage..
I liked the first Grown Ups-movie, and had too high hopes for this sequel.
Oh and you laugh around 2-3 times the 90 min..Well this works because this is just 4 friends remembering what they did while growing up, and attempting to redo it, while trashing each other and others in harmless fun.It's a good movie and it doesn't deserve such bad reviews.Now a word to the critics: GROW UP!!
the trailer makes it look good but its a joke that got no laughs.its like a sketch show...just one cheap scene after another.
hes making some god awful movies these days, and its really disappointing!the rest of the cast don't seem to know whats going on, Kevin James has to rely on fart jokes to get threw it and twilight kid Taylor is annoying as hell!!
This movie was hilarious i don't knowwhy people are talking bout this movie so badly made me and my wife bust up laughing...stop giving Adam Sander a hard time he just like to make goofy funny movies with his Buddy's happy Gilmore is downrighthis best comedy ever though but grown ups 1-2 r up there his movies aren't made for awards get a sense of humor these days people stop trying to be hard critics thy don't know nothing bout movie only academy award moviesdrama and all that....these actors are some of the funniest people in Hollywood its too bad rob Schneider wont be in the sequels love all his movies and David spade is just funny.
Adam Sandler pretty much makes movies to have fun with his friends now, and that is perfectly OK.
I liked the first Grown Ups. It wasn't a great movie, but likable and funny.
The answer of course is no - he makes nothing better, but the fact I even entertained the thought should give a clear indication just how poor this film is.Whilst the first Grown Ups had a little heart, this was a complete waste of time and, more importantly, money - do not waste either of yours on this.
The first movie was a dumb waste of time not worth seeing but Grown Ups 2 was a total insult.
It's so dumb and completely empty of any good jokes or laughs that we were literally feeling insulted and embarrassed, like we were stupid for letting ourselves get tricked into watching it.
We will not be watching any more Adam Sandler movies every again.
While walking in to the movie theater i was hoping for a good,funny,and entertaining film.I was wrong.First of,this movie didn't have a plot or a story line what so ever.I didn't really understand what the characters were suppose to be doing half the time.Second of,the jokes were not all there.A few chuckles here and there but there were no real funny moments.Most of the film had awful humor throughout.While i was in the theater i noticed most of the people around me didn't laugh either,and i don't blame them.Third of,the acting wasn't as great either.In the end this movie was dumb,not funny,and a huge waste of time.I'm starting to think Adam Sandler is losing his edge as his movies keep getting worse..
What are you guys all expecting, it's an Adam Sandler movie, it is suppose to be immature and have humor like it did.
I honestly like those kind of movies that don't have a plot and that I can actually just watch and not have to pay attention to what the conflict is and how it is suppose to related to the ending.
If you are an Adam Sandler fan, you will like this and are as funny and underrated as his other movies.
But 'Grown Ups 2' which looks like no effort was put into it is down there with the worst sequels in existence (not as bad as 'Superbabies Baby Geniuses 2', 'Home Alone 4' and 'Neverending Story 3', but close).Credit is due, as far as Adam Sandler films go it is not as bad as 'Jack and Jill', one of those cases where almost anything is better than it.
The first question I asked myself internally was "Why am I watching Grown Ups 2?" the second question and much more harder to answer was "Why am I finding this movie funny?".
I watched the first movie and laughed quite a few times...
The story was bad written and the movie was for me a waste of time and money.
As much as I think highly of Adam Sandler and his true devotion to comedy, Grown ups 2 was a flop.
Maybe one or two (at most) jokes might make you smile however its probably more cringe worthy than funny.I am normally a fan of Adam Sandler films (e.g. 50 first dates and happy Gilmore) but i thought his acting became annoying at times with his repeated shouting and tone of voice.The only way i can describe this film is as a complete disappointment.
Ok if you want a great quality just funny movie with Adam Sandler this is the one I was laughing throughout the entire thing!!!
But if you care more about story and have no sense of humor don't watch I guess but anyway super funny movie!!!.
Every Adam Sandler Movie has almost the same Actors in it.
I also enjoy the first Grown Ups, it was one of the few PG-13 movies I could see at the time.
Grown ups 2 is....um, did this movie really have plot?
A lot of people don't like Adam Sandler movies but I don't think he's made one that I didn't like.
