Film Review - Grown Ups 2
July 12, 2013
“Grown Ups 2” opens with a display of animal urination. After the main titles, we spy Lenny (Adam Sandler) asleep inside his palatial suburban home, awaking to the sight of a deer causally hanging out in his room. Trying to rouse wife Roxanne (Salma Hayek), her screams of surprise trigger the deer to rear back on its hind legs and pee all over Lenny’s face. This event occurs in the first few minutes of the movie. The picture closes with Lenny breaking wind while pawing at Roxanne during sex. It’s been three years since the original “Grown Ups” broke all box office records for a Sandler production, and this is how the audience is repaid, offered bathroom humor bookends as reward. It might be hard to believe, but the sequel actually gets worse as it drags its corpse-like sense of humor around for what feels like an eternity. Read the rest at Blu-ray.com
