Grown Ups 2

Lenny Feder (Adam Sandler) has moved his family back to his sleepy home town, getting out of the rat race and getting closer to his boyhood friends (Kevin James, Chris Rock, David Spade). Now it’s the eventful last day of school, so prepare for the hilarious hi-jinks, sensational slapstick, and … oh, who am I kidding? This plotless movie is awful.

ClearPlay In Action!

The 35 profanities are pretty easy for ClearPlay. Harder is the almost constant barrage of adolescent humor. The big joke in this franchise is that the “grown ups” are more childish than the kids, so most of the laugh moments revolve around bodily functions, male rear ends being pushed in people’s faces, a drunk character behaving badly, men gawking at buxom females, and Shaq being silly. ClearPlay edits the crude incidents and base references. My regret is it didn’t cut the whole film.

Will Grown Ups 2 unleash my inner child?...

To be fair, there is a very specific audience for Grown Ups 2, and that audience will be rewarded by things that will probably make them laugh, and a solid if underused cast (includes Salma Hayek, Maya Rudolph, Maria Bello, Steve Buscemi, and just about every male who’s ever been on Saturday Night Live). If a deer urinating on people is your idea of hilarity (you won’t see that in the ClearPlayed version), then fasten your seatbelts, because you’ll laugh from start to finish. All others: Choose anything else.
