![]() ![]() Furthermore, I thought the whole movie was pointless. I mean, who speaks like that? So nonsensical. Moreover, I thought the dialog was just awful. Sadly, the route the movie mostly took was the childish aspect and the formulaic stereotypical jokes. The more childish humor had no substance and just came off very dry. The more mature jokes had a lot more depth and the pay-off was very good. I thought that movie had wasted potential. I'm not saying it's humorous, but it sure does have some slightly funny times. Moreover, this movie does have its moments. And actually, the characters are pretty likable, but still are pretty two-dimensional. Moreover, the performances aren't too shabby either. Your mind won't wander throughout and it's not nearly half as bad as most would expect. For a redeeming quality, the movie is pretty entertaining. It can't get more paper-thin then that right? It's kind of hard to nitpick this movie and to compile a list of positives because for everything that's bad about this movie it's good, and everything that's good about this movie, it's bad. Now these men have grown up and decide to venture out on a nice vacation and stay at a cabin. "Grown Ups" revolves around a bunch of buddies that reunite when they find out that their basketball coach has passed away. However, it is still far away from being a good movie because of how familiar it seems. It isn't as awful as one would expect because it's so cliché that it possibly cannot be a disappointment. In "Grown Up's" defense, that's actually a complement. It also has that by-the-numbers pattern of raunchy humor, thrown in with some childish jokes, and then the inevitable "feel good" vibe. ** out of (****) "Grown Ups" is that typical summer comedy that couldn't be more predictable, more formulaic, or more unoriginal then it is. ![]()
