The kids are precocious and spiteful and the adults are spineless and narcissistic. There. There's your storyline.

The movie starts out with 5 kids who look like the adult stars winning the city championship in basketball in 1978 at the buzzer. 30 years later they reunite at Coach "Buzzer's" funeral and opt to spend a weekend together at a lake house with their families. Three of them have "normal" families that don't appreciate them. A fourth is married to a woman twice his age and a fifth is still single.The humor consists mostly at exchanging barbs and zingers, making fun of people who are fat, short,ugly, or old. There is a sophomoric running joke of the 4 year old that still breast feeds (even in public) because the liberal permissive parents can't say no. This joke could have been left out. (Sometimes less is more.) After spending a few hours outdoors, the big five notices that their families are all inside in their electronic world. They go inside and force the family to enjoy the great outdoors with expected results. Eventually the team they beat for the championship as kids challenges them to another basketball game because Robin Williams didn't gross us out enough.The movie ends on a warm and fuzzy note as many inane comedies do, teaching us a lesson on the importance of family and friends, but not overly warm and fuzzy. I thought Salma Hayek did an excellent job considering her poorly written lines and overall weak script

That title right there is not talking about your laughing, more the actors. This movie definitely is funny a good portion of the time, the rest time it is cringe inducing. 90% of the movie is the actors laughing. It's like the script said "Tell joke *laughs*, (next scene) say something that we can't understand cause everyone is talking *laugh*." In conclusion, Grown Ups is a decent comedy.

Okay, I wasn't expecting a masterpiece by any stretch of the imagination. And I realize that Adam Sandler's career in the film industry has been on a big decline. His dwindling quality is partly displayed in Grown Ups. Sandler is alright I suppose, just OK. The rest of the cast isn't any different at all really, it's just kinda mediocre at best. The gags do get tired and worn. The reason grown ups is getting a 5/10 is because of some of the warmer heart felt moments, they weren't amazing, but they were pretty good. The comedy just gets so old and been there, done that. The film doesn't cover any new ground whatsoever. That's not always a bad thing, but it is in this case, because grown ups just recycles old used worn out jokes and mediocre gags to try to entertain and make the audience laugh. For me, this movie was just eh whatever, I'll never see it again, because there are movie movies I would much rather watch than this. 5/10 for 2010's Grown Ups.
