The rock falls to the ground with a thud. As Lenny’s child picks up a rock at the edge of the water, Sandler speaks to himself, encouraging his son to skip the rock. “I only packed for Italy,” the other cries when their father asks why they are wearing designer clothing on an outdoor vacation. “Get me a Fiji water,” one of them demands at a low-end restaurant in the middle of the woods. The most entertaining characters in Grown Ups were Lenny’s two young sons because of how overly-exaggerated and obnoxious they were. David Spade, Adam Sandler, Chris Rock, Rob Schneider & Kevin James in Grown Ups A not so subtle message in the movie, Grown Ups, is to embrace nature and to remember the great outdoors, rather than to turn into a couch potato and blackberry-toting glamazon. Married to the cold, career-oriented Roxanne, played by Salma Hayek, Lenny laments his children’s fascination with technology, flat screen televisions, and brand- name bottled water. Lenny Feder, played by Adam Sandler, who also co-wrote Grown Ups with Fred Wolf, is the star of the show, a hot-shot agent who is called “Hollywood” by his enemies. They are united by the memory of their beloved deceased coach and the years they spent playing basketball as the only reigning championship team from their school. When is Adam Sandler going to “ grow up?” Though the characters in Grown Ups are overdrawn and overly caricatured, a true friendship and camaraderie connects them. Their bodies, their children, their cars, nothing is off limits for them. The friends, now grown up and with families of their own, enjoy poking fun at one another in every possible way. Half of the jokes are lost in mumbles, and the other half reverberates off of comedic moments that come in rapid succession. The dialogue consists of a smattering of jokes, some funny, but most not. Do not be fooled by the shrewd words they are the only meaningful lines throughout Grown Ups. “When that final buzzer of life goes by, you should have no regrets,” the wise coach says in a scene flashing back to the boys’ childhood. Grown Ups, with Adam Sandler, Kevin James, Chris Rock, David Spade & Rob Schneider Mourning the death of their beloved basketball mentor, Coach Buzzer, the friends and their families spend the Fourth of July weekend in the woods to commemorate their late coach. Adam Sandler leads the pack that also includes: Chris Rock, David Spade, Rob Schneider, and Kevin James. Lacking plot or cinematic grandeur, the film traces the reunion of five best friends.
