GROWN UPS
This is the first time I've ever seen the PG rating
for male rear nudity!!! LOL!
Starring Adam Sandler(Fifty First Dates), Kevin
James(King Of Queens), Chris Rock(Lethal Weapon
4), David Spade(Lost And Found) and Rob Schneider
(Fifty First Dates), who play former basketball team mates
who's old coach passes away and they meet up for the
funeral!
With such great talent you would expect a great
movie with a lot of humor!! Unfortunately that
is not what you get here! It's got a very thin
plot line, and the humor, what there is, is very
strained! C+
From IMDb.com:
I am fan of Adam Sandler and Chris Rock (comedian,
not actor). I've watched all of Sandler's movies but
lately his movies just aren't as funny to me. It's
either cuz I'm growing up or there's a serious lack
of quality control in his films.
I got the impression that the script was written
in a weekend and then shot without testing the
jokes.
There were LOTS of jokes but many felt forced
or just went over my head. The family moments
were forced and felt awkward to even watch. I
cringed and felt bad for the actors.
I think the circle of friends have what it takes
to make a great comedy, but I think they'll
need to work harder. I know they can do better
cuz there were a few Kodak moments in
there - classic Sandler humor. - ticklegear
