This movie didn't have a story at all.All the movie had was fun,wildness,etc.The first part of Grown Ups was at least better than this.Surely disappointed with this one.The 3/10 is just for the fun and the comedy nothing else.I don't how they make movies like this with such confidence that the people would like it.The fun part was good but at least they should understand that the audience expects a story.

Agreed there is no plot and it has no connection with the first movie except the characters, but this is a non-stop laugh. Simple fun and it delivers. Funny how everyone is criticizing the CGI deer. If it was that real all the animal rights cooks would be out in fool force. This is 5x's funnier than original. The lacking plot is made up for with continuous laughs. Definitely over the top. The irony is a little drawn out with many coincidences as mentioned in other reviews. One of the best five buck movies I've purchased in years. Plenty of eye candy throughout. Ironically this could be a kids movie if the adult themes were toned back since the comedy is simple enough for the whole family otherwise.

Can Adam Sandler be stopped? From the uproarious, family-friendly romp "Jack and Jill" to the raunchy laugh-a-minute "That's my Boy", Sandler's recent string of cinematic hits show that Sandler is at the top of his game in the 2010's, nearly thirty years after first spellbinding audiences with the underdog comedy "Going Overboard". Netflix signing a four-picture deal with him is one of the best decisions the company could have made. Sandler produces winner after winner nowadays and this film is no exception. Without any doubt, Grown Ups 2 is easily one of the top comedies of 2013, in serious competition with "Grudge Match" and the criminally underrated "Movie 43". This is why:IT'S NOT A SEQUEL, IT'S A CONTINUATION. Grown Ups 2 is Sandler's first sequel, and after seeing this film it should not be his last. Much like the "Godfather" trilogy and the "Hot Shots" movies, Grown Ups 2 follows hot on the heels of the first installment. However, unlike many sequels Grown Ups 2 hits the sweet spot in storytelling and comedic substance in a way that it doesn't feel like a re-hash or outright xerox copy of the first film. Every second of Grown Ups 2 feels fresh, no second is wasted or replaced with a tired callback to the previous film. Nothing feels drawn out or cut too short, and the comedic timing is frame- perfect. Minutes of screen time feel like they contain hours of content.I CAN'T REMEMBER WHEN (IF?) I STOPPED LAUGHING. Face it, if you put the cast of Grown Ups 2 in any movie whatsoever, you ain't leaving the theater with your sides intact. Obviously, kudos is given to the four starring actors Adam Sandler (Just Go With It), David Spade (Joe Dirt 2), Shaq (Grown Ups 2) and "Stone Cold" Steve Austin (Smosh: the Movie) for bringing nonstop laughs for the 86 minutes that all four were on screen simultaneously. I had to deduct one star for not taking the extra mile on a couple of the jokes, the only thing that would have made this a nearly perfect comedy. For example, the first scene of the movie involves a CGI deer p*ssing on Adam Sandler with no explanation. I feel as if this would have been a stronger gag if it was made into a running joke: the deer could have p*ssed on Sandler multiple times, or Kevin James could have strangled the deer to death at the end of the film while doing his trademark fart-burp-sneeze action. Instead, we got the J. Geils Band performing "Centerfold" live in front of children. Horrible. I feel as if there was a missed opportunity here: imagine if the deer defecated on the majority of the cast as the J. Geils Band belted out the chorus of "Love Stinks"? Now that would be an ending.THE PLOT IS EXACTLY WHAT IS NEEDED. We don't need a backstory. We don't need sub-plots. What we need is a good old-fashioned revenge story in the vein of Django Unchained and Oldboy and that is exactly what we get. Twenty years ago, Bobby Dallas (played by Stone Cold Steve Austin in his strongest film role yet) made a bet with Adam Sandler that he would go the longest without getting p*ssed on by a CGI deer. Obviously, Sandler loses and must endure getting hit with the Stone Cold Stunner and verbal abuse from Stone Cold for ten minutes. This is done well for an all-ages comedy but I was surprised when Steve Austin referred to Sandler's character as a "Peter Pan N*gga" and a "Deer F*cker." I know that Steve Austin is black, but I thought this was too much. After 70 minutes of run-time, Sandler succeeds in killing Austin with a stapler before having an "80's Party" with the rest of the main cast. This was also done well.If you don't like this movie, you don't like movies. Funny, heartfelt and just outlandish enough. 8/10 stars.
