Review of Grown Ups (2010) by Eng 111 E — 22 Sep 2013

Loved this movie. Yea it is not like the more recent sandler movies (all age appropriate) but it is like his earlier works. Very funny shows friends and family stick together and good times. This one is more like the happy gilmor and billy Madison movies.

One thing I apprieciate about Adam sandler is that he keeps his buddies in his movies. Hated rob was not in this one but what ever his reason (new baby or didn't like the role) maybe he will come back for the next.

I see so many neg ratings but its because so many were expecting this to be a family oriented movie but they should have known better. Now I did not like zohan and not really grandmas boy, but all the others are funny.

Having shaq and stone cold are added bonuses. I do not care for the gross comedy but this movie had more not so gross funny lines. Loved the cliff jump well I won't give any away but sure many of the more adult directed lines could have been worked to a more family base but then it wouldn't be a happy Madison movie.

I don't think that people or critics should base their ratings on expecting this to be like others or for making the error to take kids to this movie before checking it out first. Adam is known for childish pranks or funny gross comedy in his movies and for someone to not expect it is their own mis-thinking.

This movie is great and funny, if I haven't said it enough. But it is not for children unless you want to answer some awkward questions and not for the weak stomached. This movies shows how family and friends stick together and to over come some life obstacles.

All in all my family loved it. Though several moments I had to turn away like the principle eating out of his belly button. Gross! But it is just like a sandler movie. Even my favs. Wedding singer and 50 first dates had its sandler gross comedy and yelling childish moments.

So get past those and it is awesome! Oh and Taylor lawtner being in it had many taking their younger girls to see him and ended up answering some odd questions. Et I found his roll to make him look stupid and spoiled that was what his roll was written to be and he pulled it off.

Rob made the remark that sandler makes his cast look like idiots but that is what makes people laugh there are too many horror movies there need to be more comedies and I applaud sandler for creating these awesome movies.

He has made some directed for all family members but he isn't a kid these are buddy movies to sit around and laugh. I rate the critics a 1 star and this movie a 10********** and await the next.
