Gente Grande 2

This film tells the story of a group of childhood friends who throws a huge eighties party to recapture the spirit of their youth.

"Grown Ups 2" is full of gross toilet humor and juvenile jokes, but I guess I was in the mood for silliness so I enjoyed watching it. The story is very fragmented, as the film is composed of a series of little connected, one minute to a few minutes long jokes. As a result, there is virtually no plot, but a series of funny scenes thrown together to call a film. However, this idea works and people find the film funny, so why not give prior the escapism entertainment? "Grown Ups 2" is not as annoying as the first film, but equally forgettable and hollow.

Well,to start with, This is not a drama which is something most reviewers need to have in mind before they start killing this movie.

There's a better delivery of jokes and the characters are at some point likable. Unlike the first one, this one offers more different situations and jokes. Overall, it's very non clever funny cinema. The same characters from the original but embarked into a new adventure.

What else would you expect from a comedy flick? For those who didn't like this after having watched the first one,don't play fools forgetting jokes and surprising funny moments are what comedies are all about. Don't miss the point!!!

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.

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.

To make it simple, Grown-Ups 2 felt like the first, if you enjoyed the first one you will probably enjoy this. I would consider it a mediocre movie if it had of been released in the 90's, but Sandler's movies are becoming extremely repetitive, and I think people are beginning to get fed up with Adam Sandler if they weren't already, I think it is time he gives it a rest. Grown-Ups 2 has some jokes that made me crack a smile, or chuckle, but has absolutely no plot, it's like watching a mash-up of jokes play out in front of you, rather then watching a movie thats funny. Not worth watching in theatres, rent or watch it online. Hopefully this will be Sandler's last movie for a while, and this is coming from a person who enjoys some of his movies.
