Copains pour toujours 2

I saw the first movie and although it was awhile ago, I remember it being a cute, funny, somewhat family movie. So I was excited to see the sequel. I will be the first to admit that I love all the actors and that there were some funny moments (more than a handful) that made me laugh out loud. However overall, it was pretty bad. There was no plot, and the comedy went way overboard with childish attempts at humor. This movie had so much potential and could have gone in a totally different direction.

It was filled with raunchy and inappropriate and unnecessary sexism, sex jokes, and sexual innuendos. Now I am a grown up myself and I can handle all of that, but it was not funny and most of the audience was young teenagers (12-17) and trust me when I say they got their weekly dose of sexualized media in a matter on an hour and a half.

Yeah, I know this movie is stupid, has absolutely no plot, the acting is plain, characters are not well developed, you have all clichés you can imagine in movie and etc. But then again I knew what I was going to watch - a silly movie that just makes me smile and this movie did. Cameos where fine and were laughable, jokes were also fine, ( Shaq joke always works), I wish Steve Buscemi had more time on screen though.

So I know this is not a thriller with sophisticated plot and mind bending twists and you know what is coming next ( even to next word or so ), but as simple comedy this just worked for me.

I am giving it 7 out of 10 and again I know maybe it is to high rating for such film, but it worked for me and that is what matters.

About the same as the first one. It had some laughs (not a lot but some).

Lenny Feder (Adam Sandler) has moved his family back home from LA. The guys Eric Lamonsoff (Kevin James), Kurt McKenzie (Chris Rock), and Marcus Higgins (David Spade) are back with the wives (Salma Hayek, Maya Rudolph, Maria Bello) and kids. There is also a bunch of frat guys led from the neighboring college.

I love the friendship between the guys. Losing Rob Schneider actually improves the relationships. I love the wives especially Salma Hayek. I even love the kids. However this movie is flooded with stupidity. Sometimes the stupidity can be funny, but most of it is just really really really stupid. I can understand the haters. I agree with a lot of the criticisms. I just like everybody's happy relationships just enough to barely recommend this movie.

I was a big fan of the first outing. I became very reluctant when I heard the sequel had been planned, but I have to say it was absolutely hilarious. It was full of funny moments with the whole cast chipping in. It was really all about the cast not just Adam Sandler. From start to finish funny moment after funny moment with the kids coming into their own especially the baby Chris Rock. This movie is set a few years after the first and all the characters have excuse the pun 'Grown Up'. Some great additions to this cast were Steve Austin and Shaq O' Neill. A really enjoyable movie going experience. I think there will be a fair few that didn't like the movie because it was stupid in parts but guess what people it is a comedy there suppose to be silly and stupid. 7/10
