Sadly Over-hyped

Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

This is a sunday movie, you will laugh out loud many times :)

I know a lot of people are giving this movie a lot of bad reviews but I personally think that Grown Ups 2 is a much bigger improvement over it's predecessor. Grown Ups 2 is funnier more enjoyable and entertaining than the first . I mean sure the first one was pretty good but I strongly think the sequel was an improvement. Highly recommended movie! If you don't like it then too bad. I thought this was a great film. And one of the very better sequels whereas usually sequels are bad.

Can Adam Sandler be stopped? From the uproarious, family-friendly romp "Jack and Jill" to the raunchy laugh-a-minute "That's my Boy", Sandler's recent string of cinematic hits show that Sandler is at the top of his game in the 2010's, nearly thirty years after first spellbinding audiences with the underdog comedy "Going Overboard". Netflix signing a four-picture deal with him is one of the best decisions the company could have made. Sandler produces winner after winner nowadays and this film is no exception. Without any doubt, Grown Ups 2 is easily one of the top comedies of 2013, in serious competition with "Grudge Match" and the criminally underrated "Movie 43". This is why:IT'S NOT A SEQUEL, IT'S A CONTINUATION. Grown Ups 2 is Sandler's first sequel, and after seeing this film it should not be his last. Much like the "Godfather" trilogy and the "Hot Shots" movies, Grown Ups 2 follows hot on the heels of the first installment. However, unlike many sequels Grown Ups 2 hits the sweet spot in storytelling and comedic substance in a way that it doesn't feel like a re-hash or outright xerox copy of the first film. Every second of Grown Ups 2 feels fresh, no second is wasted or replaced with a tired callback to the previous film. Nothing feels drawn out or cut too short, and the comedic timing is frame- perfect. Minutes of screen time feel like they contain hours of content.I CAN'T REMEMBER WHEN (IF?) I STOPPED LAUGHING. Face it, if you put the cast of Grown Ups 2 in any movie whatsoever, you ain't leaving the theater with your sides intact. Obviously, kudos is given to the four starring actors Adam Sandler (Just Go With It), David Spade (Joe Dirt 2), Shaq (Grown Ups 2) and "Stone Cold" Steve Austin (Smosh: the Movie) for bringing nonstop laughs for the 86 minutes that all four were on screen simultaneously. I had to deduct one star for not taking the extra mile on a couple of the jokes, the only thing that would have made this a nearly perfect comedy. For example, the first scene of the movie involves a CGI deer p*ssing on Adam Sandler with no explanation. I feel as if this would have been a stronger gag if it was made into a running joke: the deer could have p*ssed on Sandler multiple times, or Kevin James could have strangled the deer to death at the end of the film while doing his trademark fart-burp-sneeze action. Instead, we got the J. Geils Band performing "Centerfold" live in front of children. Horrible. I feel as if there was a missed opportunity here: imagine if the deer defecated on the majority of the cast as the J. Geils Band belted out the chorus of "Love Stinks"? Now that would be an ending.THE PLOT IS EXACTLY WHAT IS NEEDED. We don't need a backstory. We don't need sub-plots. What we need is a good old-fashioned revenge story in the vein of Django Unchained and Oldboy and that is exactly what we get. Twenty years ago, Bobby Dallas (played by Stone Cold Steve Austin in his strongest film role yet) made a bet with Adam Sandler that he would go the longest without getting p*ssed on by a CGI deer. Obviously, Sandler loses and must endure getting hit with the Stone Cold Stunner and verbal abuse from Stone Cold for ten minutes. This is done well for an all-ages comedy but I was surprised when Steve Austin referred to Sandler's character as a "Peter Pan N*gga" and a "Deer F*cker." I know that Steve Austin is black, but I thought this was too much. After 70 minutes of run-time, Sandler succeeds in killing Austin with a stapler before having an "80's Party" with the rest of the main cast. This was also done well.If you don't like this movie, you don't like movies. Funny, heartfelt and just outlandish enough. 8/10 stars.

Such a shame I can't choose zero stars. Someone actually got paid for making this pile of trash. No story line, awkward jokes, I was stone faced throughout the whole thing. Turned off after about an hour as I refused to waste any more of my precious lifeThen again most of the actors in this aren't funny anyway and rely on crass, racist or PC jokes that people just don't find funny anymore.I get the impression that film companies are getting very desperate if they are releasing this painful rubbish.I think I would've found this funny when I was 2 or 3 or had an IQ less than 10 points. Don't bother everyone.
