Like films of the past such as Meatballs, Police Academy, Summer Rental and many others, Grown Ups delivers in SNL style comedy. with a star studded cast of Adam Sandler, Kevin James, David Spade, Rob Schneider, Chris Rock, Salma Hayek, Maya Rudolph, Maria Bello, Steve Buscemi and Tim Meadows this original style comedy is fair.A childhood basketball coach dies and the boys and their wives get together for a week to say goodbye and reminisce about the good old days and along the way teach their kids what being a kid back then meant. There is old style humor that if you grew up in the 80's you would remember.It is a fun film for adults who recognize the meaning behind friendship and the childhood they had. I give this a solid 6 of 10.

I watch this film 5 times everyday, Even in the shower! I just love how lovable and silly the main characters are. My personal favourite is Marcus, I have honestly never related to a character so much in my life. This movie tackles the issues of family, love, friendship and humour and does a perfect job of just wrapping it all together into one magical gift from god. Although the little graphic violence that is shown scares me a little bit I just close my eyes and go to my happy place (which is the location where this was filmed) I would choose to see this over Forrest Gump any day.

Loved the movie up until you made a Canadian look like a jerk. I am a Canadian and I am personally offended by this representation of a Canadian. Running out of jokes Adam? You made a Canadian act like a girl and talk like an ass. I'll bet a million dollars he was an American actor. WTF is it with you? Russel Peters, Canadian comedian, he makes fun of his own race, why don't you take some advice from him. You want to make fun of race's, choose your own. I'm sure you can come up with a million, if you want I could help with that. Worked in a call center in Canada working for AT&T. Do you know why Canadians say eh? Because we did not understand what you said, and it sounds 10 times better than DUH? Which is what you say when you don't understand what was said. Let's see, eh? duh? What sounds better? DUH, DUH, DUH. Keep making movies where you insult other cultures, and your career will end real soon. maybe you should consult some REAL comedians, cause you are NOT one of them.

I like to laugh when I watch films, especially comedies but this film is not funny at all and really hard to watch. The premise of this film sees a group of friends reunite at a lake house to mourn their old college basketball coach. One day a long time ago adam sandler was a funny actor but those days are long gone because the man just isn't that funny anymore. His humour doesn't work in this film because the writing for his character is very bland and not funny. I usually like kevin james but he just didn't have good material to work with and it meant he wasn't funny. Chris rock, rob Schneider, David spade and all the other female and kid actors don't provide anything really that memorable that make them interesting characters. The story has absolutely no depth to it, it feels like this is just a film full of slapstick and absolutely no cohesion in it. The script isn't funny I didn't laugh at all in this film because absolutely none of the comedy showed any brains to it. Also the little bit of drama added feels forced and isn't worth a thing. The style of the film is just dull, its just a bunch of skits that aren't very funny that makes this film pretty boring. Overall this is one of the worst comedies I have seen in recent memory s don't watch it.
