2. Grown Ups & Grown Ups 2 (2010/2013) They were both pretty bad... Growns Ups sees Adam Sandler joined by a selection of equally bemusing actors including Kevin James (The King of Queens), Chris Rock (What to Expect When You're Expecting), David Spade (Rules of Engagement), and Rob Schneider (Saturday Night Live). You've basically got all the body types and races in one cast - cue the physical and borderline racist humour. The film follows the reunion of the five childhood friends as they attend the funeral of their high school basketball coach. Renting a lakeside cottage they are forced to consider their lives and attempt to become closer to their spouses and children who are also staying at the cottage with them. Grown Ups 2 follows in much the same vain, centring on the same Connecticut town where the friends grew up, they embark on a day of reminiscing and seemingly settling old scores.

The audience ratings on Rotten Tomatoes score Grown Ups 63% enjoyment rating and Grown Ups 2 55%. Grown Ups was criticised by critics the world over with many critics using metaphors referring to physical pain to describe their horror at the film. Xan Brooks (Guardian) claimed "If root canal surgery feels too childish a torment, may we direct your attention to this ghastly celebrity roast in the guise of a boisterous family comedy." Grown Ups was panned but not nearly as badly as its sequel. Critics somewhat cruelly described Grown Ups 2 as "a movie of fools, by fools, for fools" (Film.com). Whilst Robbie Collins (Telegraph) stated "the word sequel' doesn't fit: it would be like describing three months of agonising spinal surgery as the sequel to falling off a cliff." Ouch!
