See This, Skip That: From Pacific Rimto Grown Ups 2
The opening scene of Grown Ups 2 features a deer urinating into Adam Sandler's mouth. That's rich, given that he's the one who thinks you'll swallow anything.
This pathetic sequel to the bewilderingly successful 2010 Grown Ups finds Sandler's Lenny Feder back in his hometown, living near old buddies Eric (Kevin James), Kurt (Chris Rock) and Marcus (David Spade) – but not too near, since Lenny is way richer than those guys.
In the course of one incredibly eventful day, they will steal a school bus, tangle with a bunch of frat boys, make an old friend look like he's pooping ice cream, and throw an amazingly elaborate costume party that they dream up around lunchtime and execute flawlessly by dark.
But the problem with GU2 isn't its thin plot, it's the lame humor. The deer pee is disgusting, not funny, while most of the other jokes deserve the "wahh-wahh" sound effect, and a groan for good measure. I can't even tell you what an enormous doofus Shaquille O'Neal is as a local cop. I mean, I could, but it would make us all sad.
Like most Sandler joints, though, GU2 is bursting at the seams with cameos. Everyone who ever worked at Saturday Night Live (and isn't still bitter about it) appears, along with Steve Austin, Steve Buscemi and Oliver Hudson in small but showy roles. Even Georgia Engel gets into the act as Eric's overly doting mom. Oh well. I guess we should just be glad she's working.
