Sadly Over-hyped
Nice effects though.
Excellent but underrated film
Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
The sequel comes with very little plot. Our foursome all have their child issues. David Spade suddenly has a long lost son so he doesn't miss out on the fun. There is an 80's theme party with a ridiculous townies vs. college boys fight.The humor is still crude, but perhaps a bit less than before as I found it tolerable. The film mostly relies on one liners and insults as is typical in a Sandler production. This film also highlights the talents or lack thereof of many Hollywood larvae including the Sandler clan, Patrick Schwarzenegger, and Paulina Gretzky. Team Jacob fans can watch Taylor Lautner in an uncredited role as Fratboy Andy. My how they have fallen.Will work as a rental. No hurry to rush out and see it.Parental Guide: Brief male rear nudity. 1 f-bomb. No sex. Sex talk and general crudeness including urination, feces, and fart humor. Razzy nomination
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.
Please don't take the title of this review to be hyperbole. This really is the worst film I've ever seen. I watched it for my comedy review podcast, One Good Thing. We try to find redeeming qualities in terrible movies. Battlefield Earth, Lesbian Vampire Killers, Bucky Larson, all seemed terrible. Grown Ups 2 has forced me to re- evaluate my standards of awful. I came here to try to understand. I read the positive reviews in an attempt to understand why someone would like this. The juvenile humour, the paper-thin characterisation, the painfully awkward editing, how could anyone enjoy this and not feel annoyed for having been sold it. The whole point of my podcast is to be an antithesis to all the people who watch Nolan movies and high concept thrillers and complain about minor details that apparently "ruined" the movie. It was an attempt to re-frame film criticism in a positive way. This film was our toughest challenge. Tomorrow I need to get on Mic and figure out why it's a good thing that this movie did so well at the box office and why so many people loved it. And for the first time since we started this podcast, ten months ago, I feel that we shall fail.
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.
