Grown Ups. FILM ONLY Review. Released in 2010 and starring Adam Sandler, Grown Ups is a comedy film I have watched a few times now, with my most recent viewing being Sunday morning and so far it seems I still enjoy it even after multiple viewings. The Film Written by and starring Adam Sandler and directed by Dennis Dugan, Grown Ups begins in 1978 with a school championship basketball game. After winning the championship the team of 12 year olds attend a presentation ceremony held at a lake house by their coach to celebrate them being his first team to ever win the championship.

I don't like comedies. I don't like films that are stupid, that are predictable or that have the same lay out as every other film in that genre. Therefore I don't like comedy films. I've watched a few in my time, most recently things like Wedding Crashers, Step Brothers etc and although they all can just about summon a smile every now and then the idea of choosing to watch a comedy over any other genre of film never occurs to me. In fact when they are on in my house that is usually my key to retreat for a nice long soak and a book. So when this was on in my house I took the time to enjoy a nice vino and get some good old surfing done (of the world wide web ...  Read the complete review

I had wanted to seen this since it was released last year but never got round to it so I was very happy when it arrived from my DVD rental company last week. I settled down to watch it at the weekend and had very high expectations as the film has a strong cast in it. Although I watched this on DVD, this is a film only review as I never bother with any of the extras. *Plot* The film begins by introducing us to 5 men who have been friends since high school, they have sort of lost contact over the years but when their old basketball coach dies it brings them all back together for the funeral. They attend the funeral and afterwards it is planned ...  Read the complete review

Ever since the first time I saw Happy Gilmore I have developed a need to see Adam Sandler movies, no matter how good or bad they look. The latest movie to grace this particular actors CV is perhaps the first of his films in a long time I've felt compelled to watch. After a slight dip he seems to be steadily making decent movies again and with a cast that includes Kevin James, David Spade, Chris Rock and Rob Schneider alongside Sandler I had a good feeling about Grown Ups. Thankfully I wasn't disappointed and I found myself laughing along to an hour and 40 minutes of decent comical moments. Plot The film starts in 1978 where a group of five friends ...  Read the complete review
