Kids at Heart- Grown Ups 2

Imagine going back to your home town and reuniting with your school friends or childhood buddies and reliving your teenage years. However do not expect part 2 to be good as the 1st movie. Middle aged men were partying with college frat students, diving off a cliff naked, acting inappropriately in public like Kevin James character burping, sneezing and farting instantaneously, vomiting, crotch sniffing, tongue kissing a Great Dane with a Mohawk etc. Actresses Salma Hayek, Maya Rudolph and Maria Bello are the wives and mothers gawking at the fitness instructor. One point in time, Maya Rudolph asks the instructor if she "stick my tongue all the way down your throat." That's what you will expect in Grown Up 2. While some may get a good laugh with embarrassing scenes, almost none of the jokes were hilarious. The scene Lenny Feder played by Adam Sandler wakes up to see a deer straggled in his bedroom and hets urinated in hid face, as well  as his son Greg Feder (Jake Goldberg) was masturbating in the shower and completely mortified when his mother Roxanne played by Selma Hayek caught him in the act. This was continued by a spiral of shenanigans and buffoonery. 



With the help of his friends, Adam Sandler played Lenny plans to throws a party. The main cast consists of Chris Rock, Kevin James and David Spade. His buddies all middle aged men have eccentric family lives. Chris Rock is agitated that his daughter wants to be dating, David Spade is intimidated by thirteen year old son who he recently meets and Kevin James has a son and daughter who are my not too bright. In the end Lenny successfully throws an 80’s last day of school party with his buddies. In the scene Lenny confronts his childhood bull (Steve Austin) and had a massive fight on the lawn where the deer makes another guest appearance gnaws at college frat boy Taylor Lautner’s testicles. Based on the trailer and the reaction from audiences’ reviews from the first movie, I was enthusiastic to watch the show. Grown Ups 2 lacks innovation and it’s unoriginal. The script and characters was poorly written and the actors could have done better.
