![]() ![]() An opening scene in which Lenny and son Greg (Jake Goldberg) are copiously peed upon by a frightened deer sets the tone. Like its predecessor, “Grown Ups 2” trades alternately in cheap sentiment and jokes involving bodily functions, preferably projectile, including Eric’s ability to burp, sneeze and loudly break wind at will. Sandler is back as high-powered but somehow also nice-guy Hollywood talent agent Lenny Feder, who, along with his beautiful, long-suffering wife Roxanne (Salma Hayek) and their children, has moved back to New England to live among his best childhood buddies.Īlso returning are David Spade as Marcus Higgins, a homunculus-sized Lothario, who discovers he has a hulking, look-alike, grown son named Braden (Alexander Ludwig), Kevin James as plus-sized sweet-natured mechanic Eric Lamonsoff and Chris Rock as argumentative Kurt McKenzie, as well as Maria Bello as Eric’s wife Sally and Maya Rudolph as Kurt’s spouse Deanne.Īmong the newcomers to the cast are Sandler favorite Nick Swardson (“That’s My Boy”) as Nick, the town’s drug-addled school bus driver, Oliver Hudson (Spade’s co-star on TV’s “Rules of Engagement”) as Kyle, the ladies’ gay personal trainer, and Shaquille O’Neal as gun-waving police officer Fluzoo. ![]() The endless boyhood of Adam Sandler continues in the paradoxically titled “Grown Ups 2.” A mostly unfunny follow-up to Sandler’s similarly juvenile 2010 comedy, a film noted for a scene in which a blue dye reveals that grown men have peed in a pool, this film is not about to let that joke go unrecycled. ![]()
