Michael Ledo The movie starts out with 5 kids who look like the adult stars winning the city championship in basketball in 1978 at the buzzer. 30 years later they reunite at Coach "Buzzer's" funeral and opt to spend a weekend together at a lake house with their families. Three of them have "normal" families that don't appreciate them. A fourth is married to a woman twice his age and a fifth is still single.The humor consists mostly at exchanging barbs and zingers, making fun of people who are fat, short,ugly, or old. There is a sophomoric running joke of the 4 year old that still breast feeds (even in public) because the liberal permissive parents can't say no. This joke could have been left out. (Sometimes less is more.) After spending a few hours outdoors, the big five notices that their families are all inside in their electronic world. They go inside and force the family to enjoy the great outdoors with expected results. Eventually the team they beat for the championship as kids challenges them to another basketball game because Robin Williams didn't gross us out enough.The movie ends on a warm and fuzzy note as many inane comedies do, teaching us a lesson on the importance of family and friends, but not overly warm and fuzzy. I thought Salma Hayek did an excellent job considering her poorly written lines and overall weak script
Pepsiloverok1234 I watch this film 5 times everyday, Even in the shower! I just love how lovable and silly the main characters are. My personal favourite is Marcus, I have honestly never related to a character so much in my life. This movie tackles the issues of family, love, friendship and humour and does a perfect job of just wrapping it all together into one magical gift from god. Although the little graphic violence that is shown scares me a little bit I just close my eyes and go to my happy place (which is the location where this was filmed) I would choose to see this over Forrest Gump any day.
maxlautner i thought the fart and poop jokes were simply exquisite and very well executed. i was a bit forlorn that there was an absence of the well known "burpsnart" in this particular film, however of course that happens in the sequel and we all know movies can't time travel (like in click)! ha ha! my favorite scene was when they were all giggling and in high hopes at the coach's funeral - it reminded me of my good old days as a juvenile delinquent on parole! to conclude, i think this film is simply a masterpiece and is definitely something to write home about.
Taylor Kingston I really enjoyed this movie. I actually saw Grown Ups 2 at the cinema before seeing this, but I got the main idea of it, and managed to follow along. While I do think Grown Ups 2 is better, this is still a really funny movie with a lot of funny people, including one my personal favorite actors, Adam Sandler. This movie actually got bad ratings, and 2 got even worse, but you can't go by the general population's opinion. It was good enough to get a sequel. I think anyone who enjoys comedy or any of the actors/actresses in this movie, will enjoy it.After the passing of their basketball coach, five friends and their families gather up for his funeral. They decide to go to the lake house where they used to party when they were teenagers. But sadly, things can't go perfect when you have real-world problems and families to take care of. Some really funny stuff happens on that Fourth of July weekend, and it's a weekend that no one will ever forget.Overall, I give this movie a 7 out of 10, which in my ratings book is: Great.
