For Sandler, it's not just when he grew up. It's the garden of idiotic innocence, something that, in Grown Ups 2, he is helping to keep alive.

An average Adam Sandler comedy, which, sadly, means it’s a below-average comedy — because whatever comedic fire and bursts of genuinely inspired humor Sandler once possessed have long ago burnt out.

There’s no way anyone could hate this movie. It’s funny 100% of the time, even if the jokes are childish and stupid. It’s hilarious.

This is pap, plain and simple: scattered raunch-lite devoid of emotional resonance. At best, it sells itself on the spectacle of a TV show’s cast reunion — and even then it disappoints.

Throughout, gags are cartoonishly broad and afforded so little time for setup and delivery we seem to be watching less a story than a catalog of tossed-out material.

The Land of Lazy can crown a new king because with Grown Ups 2 Adam Sandler has officially nabbed the throne.

Basically, it’s a film made for brainless grunts who like to hang out all day making sub-literate jokes about boobs and gays while watching the game. No wonder the first movie was such a success.

This film is a masterpiece. It should be used in teaching as The Example of Pure Perfection in Visual Arts. Best sequel since TGF2. The jokes are out of this world. How do they think of stuff like that to create such exquisite art. Hickups II is the magnum opus of the legendary genius Ada Sampler.

Grown Ups 2 is simply, a garbage. Accidentadamente a drag, there is too many disgusting parts, the truth that not if it is a movie. Box-office clerk but, good already they know the rest...
