The Worst Film Ever

To all those who have watched it: I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

The sequel comes with very little plot. Our foursome all have their child issues. David Spade suddenly has a long lost son so he doesn't miss out on the fun. There is an 80's theme party with a ridiculous townies vs. college boys fight.The humor is still crude, but perhaps a bit less than before as I found it tolerable. The film mostly relies on one liners and insults as is typical in a Sandler production. This film also highlights the talents or lack thereof of many Hollywood larvae including the Sandler clan, Patrick Schwarzenegger, and Paulina Gretzky. Team Jacob fans can watch Taylor Lautner in an uncredited role as Fratboy Andy. My how they have fallen.Will work as a rental. No hurry to rush out and see it.Parental Guide: Brief male rear nudity. 1 f-bomb. No sex. Sex talk and general crudeness including urination, feces, and fart humor. Razzy nomination

I like Adam Sandler. Sue me, I do. I also enjoy the first Grown Ups, it was one of the few PG-13 movies I could see at the time. I saw this one once. It was alright. Saw it with a friend, Liked it better. Now, it's just okay. I counted 32 pee, poo, and other sick jokes. The credits start at 94 minutes, so a character makes a scatological or gross joke every 2.9 minutes. I do not hate this movie, but I do not care either. When a whole gag is a man fixing a chocolate ice cream and it looks like he's crapping all over the machine, or a cough/sneeze/burp at once-like 3 times, and other sick jokes, I can't say I enjoyed it, and I know I am being WAY too kind to it, but I do know it sucks. 94*3=282 minutes of my life I have spent on this. I apologize for spending 4 hours and 42 minutes of my life on this. To be fair, I have spent well over 1,050 minutes-over a day, on Stand By Me.But yes, it's stupid, and What The Flick! on YouTube opened my eyes that this sucks. Oh, and by the way, I laughed twice at most.I like Billy Madison and Happy Gilmore and even That's My Boy. But this, Sandler's first sequel, sucks. It just medicorely sucks. I am being easy on the rating. Not so much for why.

Why not, well at least, I think you did not insult any other culture, in this one which is amazing because you seem to need to make fun of people and their quirks. The problem is, you talk to yourself in a mirror and you convince yourself that it is funny when reality it is not. You SERIOUSLY need to start consulting REAL comedians before you make another movie. What you think is funny is not. Hey, not picking on you but check the mirror, hit movie, Happy Gilmore, you made fun of yourself, Just Go With It, great movie great soundtrack, but the nose, do you think audiences are stupid, and you make fun of a musician with a goatee. Whenever you poke, you lose the movie, so pick on Americans and yourself, because your greatest successes have come from that. STOP pissing off cultures.

Following the mild success of the first instalment, Grown Ups 2, in my opinion, flopped for a number of reasons. One such reason is the fact that the humour that was demonstrated in the film was repetitive and overall quite bland. It almost felt like the director tried too hard to make the audience laugh, which has never worked in any film ever. The director may have been going for a quite childlike sense of humour in contrast to the adult figures however as this was also the theme in the first film it has lost its charm. I may be comparing it too much to the first film however this comparison is essential as a sequel is meant to add a new light to the feel of the original film. This film did not and in my opinion I feel like it was banking on the success of the original in order to propel it into a state of sufficient box office success which in a way it did, as fans of Adam Sandler's work would be flocking to the cinema in order to see it.On the other hand I enjoyed the plot, despite the linear nature, and found it satisfying how each individual strand connected in a penultimate fashion, with it all coming together at the 80s party. I particularly liked Chris Rock's character as he, despite losing most of the charm of the original personality, still retained part of what made his character particularly appealing.CloudOMatic
