Grown Ups 2 is like the To The Wonder of comedy movies. I don't mean it has a bad plot or a arbitrary plot, I mean it has no plot at all. First, like I said, it has literally no plot whatsoever. So, while there's nothing truly offensive about Grown Ups 2 – well, relatively, anyway – there is just about nothing about it that doesn't stink either. It's just another typically awful film to come from Happy Madison Productions and, considering just how many typically awful films that particular production house has released in just over a decade, we should, I suppose, be used to it by now. There's nothing about it that makes you want to take a dip in a pool of hydrochloric acid or have you scurrying to the nearest bomb shelter. Or, at the very least, cause eyeballs to melt out of their sockets and entire multiplex complexes to spontaneously combust.įortunately, we don't have to worry about any of that just yet because Grown Ups 2 is, very simply, a terrible film – but that's all it is. It's just that if Sandler was somehow able to make a film more hateful, more unfunny, more grotesque than That's My Boy, it would, most probably, bring about The End of Days. Just because Grown Ups 2 never plumbs the icky comedic depths of Jack and Jill and doesn't revel in the casual misogyny of That's My Boy doesn't mean that Adam Sandler suddenly developed a sense of humour or basic taste. The bad news: Having root canal surgery without an anaesthetic is a more enjoyable experience than watching Jack and Jill and That's My Boy so that's really not saying much.
The good news: Grown Ups 2 is a far, far more enjoyable experience than Adam Sandler's last two "comedies", That's My Boy and Jack and Jill.
