THERE'S A RAFT IN THERE?
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.
Best comedy of the year
As if the movie 'Grown Ups' could get any funnier, they go and make Grown Ups 2 and completely blow everyone away! This movie had an amazing cast, tons of jokes, and a good plot. Shaq and Stone Cold guest star and it's a real hoot!
More of the same
If you liked the first one, then you'll like this one just as much.
For me, the first one was very forgettable and this one is no different.
Sandler is once again looking to just have some summer fun and get paid to do it. There is no real story to this movie. The entire plot could have been told in a 2 minute trailer. The rest of the time is a bunch of goofing off and some awkward situations. There are some funny lines in the movie, so it wasn't a bore. You get to see a lot of your favorite Sandler buddies and a few other surprises. Humor is not a crude as he can get like in other movies so was tolerable for a family. Some of his cruder/dumber movies I just won't watch at all. This one somehow kept me watching the entire movie. It all depends on what you are looking for in a movie. It was a fun movie, but a complete waste of time as far as I'm concerned.
Don't be surprised if there's a part 3 next summer.
