The death of their childhood basketball coach leads to a reunion for some old friends (Adam Sandler, Kevin James, Chris Rock), who gather at the site of a championship celebration years earlier. Picking up where they left off, the buddies -- with wives and children in tow -- discover why age does not, necessarily, equal maturity.

Critics Consensus

Grown Ups' cast of comedy vets is amiable, but they're let down by flat direction and the scattershot, lowbrow humor of a stunted script.

Granted, Sandler's script has one or two laughs, but it's mostly excruciating and lacks the self-mockery of, say, a Judd Apatow movie.

Despite some passable gags and a whole posse of middle-aged funnymen, Denis Dugan's comedy is about the least grown-up movie you could see.

Sandler's abysmal script cooks up a bite-sized moral for the finale. Groan ups, more like.

Lazy and inept as comedies get, Grown Ups features a plethora of talented stars doing very little to entertain us.

It’s a lame and juvenile exercise in banality...

Grown Ups feels like one of those films that mistakes loud noise and celebrity friends for actual comedy. Adam Sandler has done better, but this one just comes off as lazy, unfocused, and painfully unfunny. It’s basically a collection of skits that don’t really connect, relying too heavily on "guys hanging out" humor that quickly gets stale. There are other Adam Sandler films that miss the mark too—like Little Nicky (which, for me, is more of a "meh" experience than outright terrible)—but Grown Ups really stands out for how empty it feels. It doesn’t build anything memorable, and the jokes rarely land in any satisfying way. Overall, it feels like a throwaway project that never needed to exist. 1/10.

esta es la película que más veces puedo repetir igual que la segunda ya que además de ser muy divertida y entretenida, es una película que refleja la amistad y la unión, y tiene diálogos únicos.

I was so excited about the movie because there were such famous actors but I was quickly disappointed. There was no real conflict or legitimate drama and it wasn't that funny.

This movie was pretty good, but not the best I’ve ever seen! Adam Sandler was great, and the humor in this movie spans all ages! :) good one!
