Grown Ups 2 (2013) 5/10

Director : Dennis Dugan
Running Time : 102 mins

Lenny Feder (Sandler) decides that he wants his family to move to the town he grew up in so they can enjoy the childhood experiences he enjoyed when he was younger, but his plans seem to blow up in his face when he is faced by the bad parts of his past, as well as a bunch of spring breakers who want the townies out of their way.

If you really enjoyed the original movie, then this sequel may make you chuckle in parts. Sadly, the humour feels far too forced and a lot of it just isn’t particularly funny, and as for plot, well, there doesn’t really appear to be one. Sandler and friends just seem to be doing this movie for their own enjoyment, and to hell with what their audience thinks of the end result, which feels like a mish-mash of jokes held together by having the same characters, but here and there you might find the odd moment that may garner a laugh or two.
