Grown Ups DVD

Men Will Be Boys...

"What kept me laughing is the genuine camaraderie among Sandler's posse... Steve Persall, St. Petersburg Times

Editor's Note

Thirty years after graduating from high school, five former basketball teammates gather at the lake house where they celebrated their biggest victory to mourn the passing of their late coach. Over the course of the Fourth of July weekend, the five friends realize that just because they've all grown up and started families doesn't mean that they've lost that old spark. Adulthood is what you make of it, and no one at the lake house is eager to be the grown-up of the gang. Adam Sandler, Chris Rock, Kevin James, David Spade, and Rob Schneider star in a film written by Sandler and Fred Wolf, and directed by Dennis Dugan (I NOW PRONOUNCE YOU CHUCK & LARRY, YOU DON'T MESS WITH THE ZOHAN). Maria Bello, Salma Hayek, and Maya Rudolph co-star.

Grown Ups - DVD Review

By: The Other Chad Blogcritics.org Reviews

Published on: 11/7/2010 4:39 PM

Adam Sandler's summer box office hit Grown Ups offers a few scattered laughs and not much else. Panned mercilessly upon release, this kind of movie is essentially critic-proof. The audience demands little and is rewarded with a breezy hour and forty minutes of fluff. The cast is loaded with well known comic actors. Sandler, who also produced and co-wrote, leads the pack. He's joined by a few other former Saturday Night Live cast members: Chris Rock, David Spade, Rob Schneider, and Colin Quinn. After Sandler the heaviest hitter is Kevin James, the former King Of Queens television actor who has struck box office gold with every movie he has starred or co-starred in....read the full review

Box Office
3 stars out of 5 -- "[W]ith a marquee cast of popular funny men unloading all the slapstick gags and sarcastic zingers mainstream audiences want." 06/23/2010

Entertainment Weekly 7 of 10
Grown Ups suggests a new phase in Adam Sandler's career: Sandler as star-purveyor of mildly risque, middle-aged family-values comfort food. Directed by Dennis Dugan (You Don't Mess With the Zohan), the movie is about five schmoes in their early 40s who reunite at a lakeside cabin for the funeral of their old beloved basketball coach (who led them to victory when they were 12). Each of the characters has two traits and a warm heart; according to today's screenwriting math, that's three dimensions. Sandler is the Hollywood agent with a high-maintenance wife (Salma Hayek) and a trio of kids who are bratty, pampered technology nuts. Rob Schneider is a pompadoured vegan married to a hippie old enough to be his mother. Chris Rock is a househusband whose wife (Maya Rudolph) and mother-in-law keep his balls in a sling. David Spade is the drunken, lewd single guy, and Kevin James is a jolly loser whose wife (Maria Bello) still breast-feeds their 4-year-old son...For a while, the movie looks like Couples Retreat or a Tyler Perry house party, only instead of cookie-cutter conflicts, everyone just grows happier and more relaxed. There's a token sprinkle of gross-out gags (a giant bunion, a game of ''arrow roulette''), and Schneider's daughters are ridiculous leggy babes out of an old Warrant video, but mostly this is a comedy about five ordinary wisenheimers just hanging out, trying to top each other with insults and catch a break from the families they (mostly) love. The big climax? Everyone goes to a water park! Diverting enough to get by, Grown Ups is Adam Sandler growing up -- but not too much. - Owen Gleiberman
