    I was expecting a couple of laughs, I got one and I'd already seen it in the films trailer. This would be enjoyable as a movie you happened across on the tv, but no so much if you have to pay for it, that includes on dvd.

    These guys surely have enough money to risk it on something even slightly challenging, funny or subversive. Instead you get another formulaic, unfunny outing from Sandler and Co. If you like going to a movie knowing what you're going to get - safe, lame and tired comedy - then this is everything you need. Fast food for your brain.

    The first and only time i let my wife choose the movie!!
    Its hard to believe that these actors read this script and didn't burn it.That Chris rock could even get those lame jokes passed his lips defies belief.I can only think that they all said don't worry if its crap lets take the poor fools (us) money and go to the lake for a holiday not worrying about their reputation!.
    I would love to talk to them and find out why they did it because it was so so obviously bad!
    This is the first movie i have walked out of and the first review i have written in 45 years, that's how bad it was.
    If you go and waste your money on this you need help.

    One of my favourite movies of all time is Happy Gilmore and as a result Adam Sandler one of my favourite actors. My opinion of Sandler has taken a major nose dive after watching this movie. The only reason I gave it one star was because i can't give it -1 stars! Give me my money back! The plot was rubbish and the acting second rate. Very sad to see such a great cast struggling with a pointless plot... an utter disaster.

    I watched Growns Ups about 2 Months ago, I didnt realise that it would be coming to the cinemas., all I can say tho to Comedy fans is that You Probably wont enjoy this Film that Much, as there is no real Plot and Most of the Comedy used is just " Dry Humour"., Tho on the Other hand,if You like the typical Humour from Adam Sandler, thatn thats is exactly what is provided in " The Grown Ups"..

    Agree? Disagree?...

  • Good comedy

Press Reviews

  • Chicago Sun-Times (Roger Ebert)

    A pleasant, genial, good-hearted, sometimes icky comedy that's like spending a weekend with well-meaning people you don't want to see again any time real soon.

    Grown Ups elicits more groans than laughs.

    Smug and lazy comedy that barely raises a chuckle.

    If root canal surgery feels too childish a torment, may we direct your attention to this ghastly celebrity roast in the guise of a boisterous family comedy.

  • Hollywood Reporter

    Despite the lazily self-satisfied results, his (Sandler) aging fan base likely will come along for the lackadaisical ride.

  • Los Angeles Times

    The new Adam Sandler comedy has all the charm of a home movie that does not star your own family, which means it's overly sentimental, filled with you-had-to-be-there moments, bad jokes and even worse camera angles.

  • New York Times

    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.

    Inoffensive enough to stop you packing up for home, though that’s part of the problem – Sandler and co have rarely played it safer, or more self-indulgent.

  • Variety (USA)

    Grown Ups delivers precious few laughs for the sheer volume of comedy talent on offer.
