Review of Grown Ups with the storyline
Short and sweet is the basic storyline of Grown Ups. Four childhood friends get together when they are adults to reconnect and get to know each other as “Grown Ups.” They basically behave just like the stereotypical “bad boys” and play the whole thing for laughs. Sexist jokes, peeing in pools and fat jokes abound.
‘Grown Ups’ review: what others say
On Rotten Tomatoes, 8 percent of reviews on Grown Ups are positive. Most reviews for “Grown Ups” talk about all of the very lowbrow humor, lack of cohesive script, scattershot ideas and a stunted-feeling script. There is a particular concern that this movie is simply a vehicle for Adam Sandler — much like last year’s “Funny People” but less funny and more annoying. The stereotypes in “Grown Ups” are pretty obvious. The “Grown Ups” method of handling these overloaded stereotypes, though, is to overplay them time and over again. In other words, reinforcing the stereotypes as much as possible.
The financials of ‘Grown Ups’
Grown Ups didn’t cost must to film A budget of “just” around $ 70 million means that the movie only has to have a semi-decent performance to pay back the actors, studio, distribution, and all other associated costs. Last year’s Adam Sandler vehicle, Funny People, made about $ 23 million during the opening weekend. The movie might make just enough to cover costs.
