Grown-Ups was not nearly as bad as I thought it would be, and not nearly as good as it could have been. Adam Sandler’s yearly cinematic escapades with his SNL buddies have moved passed stale and are inching towards unbearable. The jokes are lame and rarely funny, and I am pretty sure I absolutely hate the fat mall-cop guy. These “comedies” only serve to remind me that Sandler is capable of so much more (Punch Drunk Love) and Chris Rock should just stick to stand-up and directing. And how the hell is it that Rob Schneider is allowed to step in front of a camera? I would hate him if only I cared.
