Adam Sandler movies have never been smart and witty, so I wasn't expecting much when I went to see Grown Ups. It is better than his recent attempts but still not great but going in with low expectations helped me to quite enjoy the movie.
The movie is about 5 former school basketball players who return to their home town for the funeral of someone close to them. The interaction between these former team mates indicates that although they have achieved in life they still haven't fully grown up.
The comedy is quite lame most of the time but there are a few laughs to be had and the supporting characters are quite good who includes Maria Bello and Selma Hayek. They did seem to be having more fun making the movie that we did watching but I brought my dad along with me and he really enjoyed it. It is definitely not a great movie but for a light laugh after a hard day at work it is quite good.
