Grown Ups (2010)

Synopsis

Adam Sandler writes, directs and stars in this comedy centred on the reunion of five former school friends. 30 years after graduating from high school, five former basketball teammates - Lenny (Sandler), Eric (Kevin James), Kurt (Chris Rock), Marcus (David Spade) and Rob (Rob Schneider) - gather for the funeral of their late coach over the Fourth of July holiday weekend at the same lakeside house where they celebrated a championship victory many years before. As the weekend goes on, the friends come to realise that just because they have all grown older doesn't necessarily mean that they have to grow up.

Our review

"Having learnt nothing from Funny People, Adam Sandler rounds up his comedy chums for a series of hit and miss jokes, a lazy, self-indulgent script, urinating in public swimming pools and rope-swinging into trees. Sandler ought to be ashamed of himself."
