Grown Ups (2010)

With the kind of stars this movie has, it just has to be funny right? I have to tell you that I don't think it was the greatest Adam Sandler (The Waterboy) film, or the best Chris Rock (CB4) film, or even the best David Spade (Tommy Boy) film, but it has it's moments. As I said above, Sandler, Spade, Rock, Kevin James (I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry), and Rob Schneider (Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo) were all best friends and teammates on the 5th grade championship basketball team. Now some twenty years later, there best mentor and coach has passed away and even thought they all live different lives, they come together to spend fourth of July weekend  at a cabin there coach used to rent out for them. Each one of them deals with personal trials and tribulations through out the movie and they even razz each other through out the whole thing. The only thing that I didn't like was that a lot of the humor seemed like you had to be a friend or someone on the inside to get some of the cracks or even laugh at them. The question is, the other team they beat twenty years before is antagonizing them for a rematch and will these guys give it them and will they all get a long through out the whole weekend? The movie also stars Maya Rudolph (SNL Alum), Selma Hayek (Desperado), the always sexy Maria Bello (A History Of Violence), Colin Quinn (SNL Alum), Steve Buscemi (Boardwalk Empire), Tim Meadows (SNL Alum), the very sexy Madison Riley (Fired Up), Jonathan Loughran (The Waterboy), Jamie Chung (Sorority Row) and Blake Clark (The Waterboy) as Coach Buzzer. I give the movie a B- because it does have it's funny moments, but it's the not best from Happy Madison.
