Adam Sandler's hit movie formula: bring in your old buddies that you never see in any movie but Adam's, incorporate 80's music, be self depreciating, etc. is tired and old.
Grown Ups #1 was funny but not great. In Grown Ups #2 I forced myself to laugh so that I can feel that I got my monies worth.
The story starts with Sandler moving his family back to his hometown to be with his friends and their kids. It does not explain why he and his wife, Salma Hayek (who looks outstanding and never ages) both left great jobs in Hollywood.
There is no story and even Shaquille O'Neal is not funny.
The movie is short (thank God) and even ends abruptly.
Seems like everyone was in it because they owed Sandler a favor or just for a paycheck.
This is an embarrassment for all involved. Rob Schneider, from Grown Ups #1 was wise not to show up.
Verdict:
This is the 2nd worst movie I have seen in 2013 (the first being The Purge). If you can try to stay after the credits because Sandler is setting up for Grown Ups #3. Fool me once, fool me twice, but they will not get me again.
