No one in their right mind goes to an Adam Sandler movie for any reason other than to laugh, and Grown Ups delivers.
By James Berardinelli FULL REVIEW

The film drifts along on a stream of humiliation jokes - physical, emotional, sexual, hairpiece-ial.

Everyone has that one comedy film that they watch over and over and always come back to. Betas say Super Bad but only Alphas watch Grown Ups, screw Uncut Gems this is the true Adam Sandler masterclass.

You won’t stop laughing the whole time. It’s stupid, but it’s funny. There’s no point to the movie, but you’ll enjoy it.

Isn't just unfunny; it's so dull.

Nobody escapes unscathed, except, of course, for Sandler, who co-wrote the infantile screenplay.

Dumb, lazy, obvious and largely pointless.

Grown Ups finds Sandler reverting to lunkheaded, lazy-laff form.

It doesn't get worse than Grown Ups, Adam Sandler's sloppy entry into this year's man-child-comedy sweepstakes. Lazy, mean-spirited, incoherent, infantile and, above all, witless.

One of the most hilarious Sandler movies ever. Definitely, a must-see comedy for everyone, especially for Adam Sandler fans.

WHAT I LIKED: It tackles some serious themes with a great light-hearted tone, the 3 main guys are all funny and their humour feels real WHAT I DIDNT LIKE: It's not a particularly interesting plot and the characters are fairly bland with little development VERDICT: It's supposed to be a fun family film and it fulfills there, but it's not particularly exciting or clever and does bore after a while

It’s fun to see these SNL vets working together, but there’s no magic here. Bad story and worse jokes.

Grown Ups isn't funny and it is just another bad "comedy" film that forces Adam Sandler to be in it and not be funny or cool at all. Plus side: It isn't Jack and Jill.
