SPOILER ALERT

Rarely in the history of cinema does there come a time when you get a movie so stupid, so plot-less, so dumbfounding that you don't even know how to where to begin dissing it. Well, the most recent one of these has come. That's right, Grown Ups 2 has arrived!

If I were to tell you what the plot of this film is, it would go something like this:

Adam Sandler, Chris Rock, David Spade, and Kevin James spend ninety minutes walking through K-Mart, getting ice cream, and fighting frat boys while dressed like 80s superstars. And I think that would be a very accurate description because that's ALL that happens.

I don't know how somebody could even stay interested writing this movie. It literally had maybe two or three zingers that I kinda chuckled at. I mean, it's pretty sad when the best acting in a movie is done by a NBA player (Shaq, who has a somewhat funny part). But seriously, if Shaq wasn't in this movie, I probably would've walked out.

There is nothing about this movie that is even remotely interesting and the posters lie (where the @#$% is the roller coaster?!). This is the second worst Sandler flick ever (Jack and Jill first).

Even the cameos by Steve Buscemi, Taylor Lautner, Peter Dante, Allen Covert, Nick Swardson, etc. don't do anything for the movie. In fact, they hurt it!

Seeing Buscemi in this movie made me cringe. Why would such a respected actor like Buscemi do something like this. And his jokes (like everything else in this movie) are not funny! Lautner doesn't fit in here and his lack of acting chops are definitely seen. He scrapes the bottom of the barrel here (as does everyone in this movie).

The worst part about it, I'm a HUGE Sandler fan! And frankly, I think people have been too hard on him lately. Sure Jack and Jill sucked but That's My Boy was a fairly funny raunch fest. And the first Grown Ups was far from terrible. Even Hotel Transylvania was a pretty cute movie. But this, is just BADDDDDDDDD. Really BADDDDDDDD.

Please Adam Sandler, stop trying to make family friendly movies. Take a year off. Spend some time writing your next one. And come back with comedic gold!

Well, I was not TOO excited for this film to begin with (so that may be half the trouble) but even though I wasn't excited, I went and saw it anyway. I must say...the first thirty minutes of the film I was SOOOOOO bored. Then, it began to pick up and and started to gain some momentum and I started getting excited and then......it ended? WTF?

Now, having said that. The parts that were good, were REALLY good. Really good. And most of the performances were pretty exceptional. Especially the guys who played Frankie Valli and Tommy Devito. And Christopher Walken was a nice bonus as always.

Overall though, I felt the film lacked enough energy to really get me over excited about it. Eastwood did a fair job but something was missing. Fun!

I do have to say the singing was awesome! And when Valli sang "Can take my eyes off you" I got major, major, major goosebumps!

Overall: 7 out of 10. It could've been great with a little more energy.

May contain spoilers Okay, first of all let me tell you that I came into the theater really expecting a lot! Which is something that I RARELY do. Now, I left the theater more saddened disappointed than the last time a girl broke my heart. The film played out as if somebody got high one night and took ten or so sketches that had been written just for fun and put them into a 90 minute movie. The sketches were not movie, and worst of all, half of them were not nearly as offensive as the trailer said they'd be! The first sketch started out fairly promising and lived up to it's potential of offensiveness. But from then on, it was just bad. The only other sketches I could get into was the one with Noami Watts and the one with Christopher Mintz-Plasse. The rest were just short five minute sketches that were either boring or just plain stupid! Anyways, I suggest seeing something else. Try Mama.

You will watch this movie and by the ending credits think, what in the hell? what was that? But at the same time, you will be mystified and intrigued by it's crazy sequences, amazing imagery, and brilliant characters. But, as you are mystified, baffled, and intrigued, you will also be extremely, extremely disturbed by it's grossly dark nature. You will not know what to make of it by any means. The ending is extremely gross and disturbing. Now, at the same time, one or two parts of the film get kinda boring towards the end of the second act. Overall, a crazy, dark, gritty, gross, mystifying, baffling, weird, strange, and disturbing film that can really never be compared(in terms of the story and the world Lynch creates) to another movie. Great job Mr. Lynch! Keep the weirdness going!

okay look, I'm one of Sandler's biggest fans. No jokes. I spent over a year learning a Bobby Busche impression, just for the amusement of myself. You guys are too hard on him. How can a guy not make a few flops??? This film wasn't even bad. Other than the over use of crude jokes, it was good. If you edited about 10 or 15 minutes of the crude and sexual jokes out of this, it would've been Sandler gold. The character he played was really original, not one of those family guy characters he just keeps on playing over and over. It was like his mid 90 characters like Happy Gilmore and Billy Madison, the ones that made us love him. Of course, it wasn't as good as a character. Overall, a pretty fair film that could've been great with the edits. I really don't know how you can say you walked out of the theater?!!! Same with Jack and Jill, it was bad, but it didn't deserve the horrible reviews. The guys made about 20 massive hits, how's he not gonna make one or two flops??? Anyways Sandler, make the edits and re-put it in theaters and I think it'll do way better.

Now, almost every John Carpenter movie I see, is usually good, not great, but good. But there are the few exceptions. One being...Halloween. Halloween is a great amazing film that in some ways started a cultural raid of slasher flicks. Now, usually I'm not up for slasher flicks. Bunch of naked women, same people dying(usually the jocks and people who have sex die, the nerd and the beautiful yet not very sexual woman survives in the end). But as I said before, there are a few exceptions. And the only movie that I can really think of as the best slasher flick and best horror film overall, is Halloween. Watch it! If you wanna be a director! Watch it! If you just love horror or don't! Watch it! P.S. Don't watch that new remake bullshit. Sucked.

Lock, stock, and two smoking barrels is an amazing film. Geniusely crafted by a genius, Guy Ritchie. His more recent films such as Sherlock Holmes one and two, have disappointed me. But, his earlier work such as this and snatch, still amazes me with laughter and pure awesomeness every time I see it now and day. This is an excellent film that should be regarded as a great. It just shows you how well a low budget Independent film can be and how you can really make a film on your own and make it a masterpiece. I'm 13 years old and my dream is to grow up and make independent films that have reminisce of people like Guy Ritchie, Quentin Tarantino, Richard Linklater, Kevin Smith, Robert Rodriguez, exc. So, if you watch this film, make sure to have a big bowl of popcorn and a sense of humour. If you have these two things, you are sure to be amazed!!!
