Review of Grown Ups 2 (2013) by Srw2K14 — 20 Mar 2016

This movie is plain horrible. This movie is possibly Sandler's worst movie and that's saying something. The difference between this and all the other Happy madison fiascos is that this movie has no redeeming qualities. Pixels was awful but the CG was great. The first Grown Ups was bad, but had a neat concept of a bunch of guys chilling like they did in the good old days (something I might try in a couple of decades.) I'm not even going to mention Jack and Jill. Any ways I'm getting off track.

Grown Ups 2 has so many problems. So I'm going to lost some of them that stick out the most...

1. The jokes aren't funny: we've gotten used to bad erection jokes, KJ fat jokes, and giant objects causing some well deserved physical pain to the cast, so this is nothing new.

2. Product placement: Sandler and Co. go into a Kmart about 30 minutes into the movie. I don't know if anyone reading this has been to a Kmart, but no Kmart is as nice as the one that they go into.

3. Substandard and obvious use of CG: theres this raft that keeps blowing up and knocking the characters back (mainly KJ because fat people can fly haha) and David Spade takes a rolling tire ride.

4. Recurring Jokes: There are a few jokes that are repeated in this movie. The African American always say whaaaaaaat every time something unorthodox happens, KJ gets blown up by a CGI inflatable raft that inflates at the speed of sound with no source of gases to blow up anything at the speed, KJ burp-snarts (burp, sneeze and fart) and Sandler tries to get KJ to teach him (because fat people burp and fart all the time haha), theres also some frat house saying random catch phrases, I don't know, I've been lost for too long by now.

5. Annoying Actors: besides Adam Sandler and Kevin James, Cameron Boyce is in this movie, as well as a usual Maya Rudolph performance which is cringe worthy and unfunny. Shaq is also in this movie, I guess it's just hitting a free throw for him.

6. Misuse of Talent: We all know that Sandler is talented and can be funny sometimes and he's just been going through a decade and a half long slump. Chris Rock is in this, but with a screenplay this awful, it's hard for anyone to be funny or entertaining.

Grown Ups 2 is a terrible movie and no one should have to suffer through this. Read the review, stay far away from the movie.
