Grown Ups 2
Adam Sandler, Kevin James, Chris Rock and David Spade attempt to revisit their highschool glory years once more in the comedy sequel to 2010's box office hit Grown Ups.
Lenny (Sandler) has relocated his family back to the small town where he grew up, and this time around, the grown ups are the ones learning lessons from their kids on a day full of surprises: the last day of school. Salma Hayek, Steve Buscemi and Maya Rudolph also return.

Reviews & comments
Hil-ari-Ass
No apologies here. Adam Sandler seems to have reverted into a pre-pubescent idiot reliving his toddler years. Although there are flashes of the comic brilliance Adam Sandler has made his fortune on, these moments are short lived and rare in his latest offering. The rest doesn't really qualify a comment. You may want to stay home and wait for this to come...
Variety
pressAmong the slackest, laziest, least movie-like movies released by a major studio in the last decade.
Total Film
pressAn equally shameless, just-as shoddy, no-less depressing sprawl of 'life lessons' and fat gags.
Time Out
pressIn the first five minutes, a deer walks into the star's bedroom and urinates on his face. It's all downhill from there.
The New York Times
pressThis is pap, plain and simple: scattered raunch-lite devoid of emotional resonance.
Hollywood Reporter
pressThroughout, gags are cartoonishly broad and afforded so little time for setup and delivery we seem to be watching less a story than a catalog of tossed-out material.
Empire Magazine
pressSlothful, indulgent sequel that sees a once-great screen comedian hit self-inflicted Sandlergeddon.
