Before Grown Ups, Dennis Dugan’s previous two films were Don’t Mess With The Zohan and I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry. With this latest effort he must surely be one of the front runners for an award for the worst three films ever directed in a row. Grown Ups is an appalling unfunny film and the only emotion you’ll get from it is anger at the money you’ve just spent watching this turgid overblown excuse of a film. I can’t even be bothered to describe the plot but when you have Adam Sandler, Kevin James, Chris Rock, David Spade and Rob Schneider in a film together it’s hardly going to be a laugh a minute is it? If you think that statement is rubbish you can count the total number of decent films they have been in combined on the fingers of one hand (or two hands if you’re being generous). The film is awash with unlikable characters and unfunny jokes, and a scene at the end is so patronising you literally want to claw the smug main protagonist’s faces off the cinema screen. The only reason it avoids zero marks is due to a few zingers at the start that you can use on your mates, and I can’t even remember any of them anymore.
The OC Film Sting Final Verdict
It’s so bad it makes Couple’s Retreat look like Citizen Kane. Now that’s bad. Rating: 1/10.
