11/3/2022 0 Comments Watch grown ups 2The moments between the sketches themselves are painful to watch, as they show the characters laughing at the stuff they just did, almost like the film equivalent of canned laughter so as to make unfunny jokes funny. WATCH GROWN UPS 2 MOVIEThe movie is really a series of skits without any real sense of direction or progression. Random and juvenile sketches are the law of the jungle in this movie. Take any random Sandler movie, the ones that his company have produced, and this film is almost like a Greatest Hits version of that. This time, though, it didn't really rub off on me as much as it repelled me from ever watching a Sandler movie again. But, much like the first film, the cast seemed to be having a lot of fun. This movie, however, is just as bad as you can imagine. The fact of the matter is that I think the cast had a lot to do with that, they seemed to have fun and that can rub off at times. From what I was expecting, it could have been far worse than it ended up being. I wouldn't ever say that I liked the first Grown Ups, not even close, but I didn't hate it either. When a film starts like this, you know that there's nowhere to go but down. (That still belongs to the offensive The Big Wedding.) It may make you laugh, but it will also make you kind of hate yourself for laughing, which frankly doesn’t make it worth it.The first five minutes of the film sees a deer sneak its way into the Feder's house and proceed to pee in everybody's mouth when they scare him. It’s not the worst movie of the year though. A little more effort would go a long way in making this somewhat worthy of audiences and the box office takings it will likely get. It’s a shame how lazy and pointless Grown Ups 2 is. ($$$$) I won’t spoil them because their appearances manage to give this comedy some life. Cameos are always fun, even when you spend time wondering why these celebrities agreed to these parts. What made Grown Ups 2 the most entertaining was the insane amount of cameos the movie had. Still, in all fairness, the movie does earn itself a few laughs. Although, I have to admit I did laugh quite a few times throughout the movie most of it was out of “get me out of here” hysteria. What’s really at play is the humor, which relied more on grossing out the audience rather than making them legitimately laugh. There are several subplots at work, but they’re so insignificant that they hardly count. We also see what’s up with their kids and wives (played by Salma Hayek, Maria Bello, and Maya Rudolph), as it all leads down to Lenny’s summer celebration party. Lenny (Adam Sandler), Eric (Kevin James), Kurt (Chris Rock), and Marcus (David Spade) decide to spend the day hanging out, messing around at K-Mart (holy product placement!) and finally getting in an altercation with some rowdy frat boys (led by Twilight’s Taylor Lautner). It’s the last day of school and the beginning of summer, the kids are buzzing with excitement and so are the parents. Obviously, I can’t compare it to the original, but if you want to see a bunch of aging comedians say bad jokes, fart, burp, vomit and do other gross shit, Grown Ups 2 is for you. And it wasn’t, mainly because Grown Ups 2 practically has no plot. I had not seen Grown Ups, but I figured it wouldn’t be hard to understand what was going on the sequel. That is until last night when I found myself in a theater watching Grown Ups 2 and seriously wondering “What did I get myself into?” Never would I have thought I’d be treated to an opening scene where a deer would make its way into a family’s home and pee on them in fright.
