Written by: Adam Sandler & Fred Wolf
After their primary school basketball coach passes away, five childhood friends are reunited for his funeral, and then spend a weekend together at a holiday house.
The five comedy actors, Sandler, James, Rock, Spade and Schneider were very believable as old friends, and the scenes they shared reminiscing about the past, felt very natural and cosy.
This is one of those films where you can tell that all the actors must have had a blast making the film, and it shows and gives the film a very pleasant, feel-good vibe. The montages during the water park scenes are a great example of this, when I think they weren't so much actors, as they were just big children being filmed.
It's nice to just be able to relax in light-hearted comedies like this, where you don't have to concentrate on complicated plot details or painfully deep characters.
As far as comedies go, while there were a few laugh out loud moments, Grown Ups wasn't anything special. I think it's appeal is just as much in the feel-good family market as it is in the comedy market.
