Wow. What a drop off. I'll be the first to admit that the original Grown Ups was not a "good" movie but for whatever reason I found it hilarious and entertaining as hell. It was one of Sandler's better movies since Big Daddy where it wasn't just the silliness of the movie but the family stuff made it fun to a broader audience. Since that movie he has made a couple of really horrible movies (except for Just Go With It). I was hoping that this would be more like the aforementioned movies and/or the original. Unfortunately, it was more like his potty humor that runs its course and ends up being more annoying than entertaining. As if that wasn't disappointing enough - there is the absence of Rob Schneider from this sequel. There is no mention of him whatsoever. Is he too busy or something? He has literally been in every Happy Madison Productions movie. That's like the extent of his career. But he couldn't be in this movie? And a major character (out of the 5 friends) gets no mention whatsoever? Strange.
I would not recommend anyone checking this out. It's pretty much a giant turd and not worth anyone's time. I'm praying the next time that I see the original - it won't be tainted by how lame the sequel was.
