GROWN UPS

1/06/2011 | No comment

title: GROWN UPS

year: 2010

cast: Adam Sandler, Rob Schneider, David Spade, Chris Rock

rating: *1/2

The problem with this horrendous Adam Sander (and friends) comedy isn't the plot, a BIG CHILL clone about a group of grown ups spending a rural weekend in honor of their recently departed basketball coach: a prime mentor during the good old days when they played boardgames and hung around outdoors, something their kids, all video game addicts, find boring... It's the terrible one-liners, choppy editing, and the way in which, like many of Sandler's lesser films, the ensemble cast (Adam's usual cronies) are having more fun than the audience.
