There's no way it could be worse than Jack and Jill! I was pretty sure up until its release that it was a spoof film Sandler's character in "Funny People" had made.

 

[Toparaman]

Apparently the movie isn't even technically proficient:

Continuity and technical errors are the norm; the movie’s opening credits roll over mismatched, low-resolution stock footage. Bad prosthetics and make-up abound; there are countless paste-on beards and wrinkly bald caps, and two characters have fake noses that are the wrong skin tone.

Come on humanity, have some standards. Don't pay to watch this.

His best joke to date was actually becoming his character from Funny People.

It's really depressing to do a Twitter search for "Grown Ups 2" and see how many people are like "can't wait to see grown ups 2 lol #sandler #kevinjames"

It depresses you that some people like movies you don't? Wow, glad I am not like that at all.

 

[lethial]

David Spade looks like a kid I used to beat up in high school.

Probably more so that shit films that don't deserve success get it but great ones don't?

That said if people enjoy it it kinda does deserve the success, it's all subjective after all.

 

[Toxi]

This will probably sound crazy, but why don't the people amused by Adam Sandler comedies go rent a good comedy on Netflix? Like any comedy that isn't an Adam Sandler comedy?

That way, I won't have to groan through Grown Ups 3 trailers.

 

[vatstep]

I'm sure that some people enjoyed the first one, and that's fine, but was there anyone that really wanted/needed a sequel? I just wonder how many people out there got super excited when they heard that this was coming out. Who the fuck asked for this?

 

[Hachimaki]

What's the budget for this movie?

I think the first film had a $80 million budget.

They will see GU2 because they like Sandler movies. You don't have to watch the trailers for movies you are prejudiced against.

 

[wenis]

Sounds like the Oscars already have a Best Picture winner.

I feel like.... It's my destiny to watch this.

 

[Baconsaurus Rex]

It's up to 5%!

 

[GCX]

Does this have an absurdly high budget like Grown Ups 1 and Jack & Jill?

 

[BobTheFork]

How the hell else do you expect Sandler to launder money

 

[XiaNaphryz]

It's up to 5%!

8% now.

 

[artist]

8% now.

266% increase, wow.

 

[ItAintEasyBeinCheesy]

Sounds amazing.

 

[DreamMachine]

8% now.

wow at that summary.

 

[Salsa]

yeah I feel bad for Kevin James now. Could have been a handsome fuck

 

[brianjones]

I like the commercial where David space talks about if you like sun this movie is for you

if you like sun spend your summer in a dark movie theatre

where'd you see that. give joe dirt a break. he's probably living in sandler's shed lol

 

[brianjones]

I wouldn't mind living in sanders shed tbh

 

[HalfBakedProphet]

wow at that summary.

I don't know if I'd find grown ups 2 funny, but that summary of the movie is gold.

 

[Discotheque]

I wouldn't mind living in sanders shed tbh

just the tool shed though. the guest house is for kevin james

 

[Trent Strong]

Thank God for Judd Apatow and Will Ferrell.

 

[NaughtyCalibur]

Groan Ups?

Nice job, Norm Macdonald.

I noticed in this trailer that they reused the same joke from the first movie when the little girl said she wanted to get "chocolate wasted," or was that a random flashback? Eithet way, felt so lazy haha

 

[brianjones]

i dunno that anchorman 2 teaser was bad

 

[Visceir]

People will go see it to find out how bad it is.

 

[Lee Chaolan]

Looks like no Rob Schneider is killing this movie.

Spoiler

It'd still suck, but it's weird he hasn't been in any AS stuff lately.

 

[Gorillaz]

this movie is to get adam sandler's friends paid and him a nice vacation with his friends.

That was actually a theory talked bout alot. I think even red letter media said it too in there "thats my boy" review

 

[Discotheque]

yeah anchorman 2 looks like crap.

i don't even think they should go ahead with zoolander 2 either, it will just disappoint.

 

[Gintamen]

So bad that it's good again?

 

[Aaron]

Thank God for Judd Apatow and Will Ferrell.

For lowering the floor for comedy? Numbing you to terrible humor?

 

[womfalcs3]

It actually looks like a typical Adam Sandler movie. If you liked Happy Gilmore and Billy Madison but didn't like Grown Ups, it's probably because you.... have grown up. Teens and college students will like it.

Yeah Archorman 2 looks bad, but they can't all be gold.

No, no, no, no, no.

 

[markot]

I hope Adam Sandler never stops making films... cause I love it when the redlettermedia guys rip them a new one >_<;

 

[Seraphis Cain]

Your avatar looks like you.

Wooooooooow.

Sorry dude, but this really has to be the most childish rebuttal I've ever seen on GAF. And it's not even really a rebuttal, since what he said wasn't even aimed at you, but a millionaire movie star. Who, by the way, I'm sure appreciates you sticking up for him.

 

[Toxi]

You don't have to watch the trailers for movies you are prejudiced against.

I wish. I might have to stop going to comedy films in theaters entirely to avoid the shitty Adam Sandler comedy trailers that inevitably will precede them.

 

[GCX]

Their Jack & Jill review goes really in depth about it.

No I can still watch Billy Madison or Happy Gilmore at 27. These new films are shit.

 

[Zaptruder]

It depresses you that some people like movies you don't? Wow, glad I am not like that at all.

It depresses me that people can be manipulated so thoroughly by a formula so lazy and hackneyed that the people making it just don't even give a shit anymore. They're making it so poorly that they're having a laugh at the audience that are going to see it.

Like: "Haha, you dumb fucks, so dumb, you don't even give a shit, or are too dumb to see all these absurdly poor effects - on par with our absurdly poor writing. Whatever, you dumb fucks can fund our fun, we'll just dial it in in the laziest possible way."

It's almost masterful how fuckin' atrociously poorly made the movie is. But that doesn't bode well for humanity on average. Any hope that we can create a culture that rises above the lowest common denominator is thoroughly dashed when the masses show that, that is indeed not possible!

have u seen it tho

 

[mxgt]

There are actually people on this planet that find this shit funny

I don't even

 

[red731]

I tried to watch first movie for the first time recently and I couldn't. I had to stop like twenty minutes in.

 

[Raiden]

Just watched the trailer out of sheer curiousity, it actually looks like a fun dumb movie. And Salma Hayek is still smokin oh my gawd. I love that they casted the Twilight lama guy as an abercrombie douche.

And i genuinly smiled at the "we have a handshake too" joke. However i saw the first one and that was so incredibly horrible.

The funny think is, if it is would be true and the crew really made all the mistakes on propose, then the movie could be a piece of art. The more successful the movie becomes, the stronger would get the message. It is not a positive message, but it would work. But this also would mean, that Sandler and his crew would not put all the money into there own pocket and explode it for them self. So that they could be a better example. Which is certainly not the case here ...

 

[Victory Red]

I don't think twice about Rotten Tomato ratings for comedies. Especially Adam Sandler ones, not everyone likes his humor and appreciates him.

I LOVE Adam Sandler movies. A movie like Just Go With It is one of my favorite AS movies to date and its sitting at a 19% rating.

 

[Stet]

have u seen it tho

Likely about a million times before.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Aww, it's not 0% anymore

 

[pikablu]

If this is true I really want to see it now.

Grown Ups 2 opens with a CGI deer invading Adam Sandler’s bedroom, standing up on its hind legs, and pissing in his face; it ends with Sandler simultaneously farting, sneezing, and burping while having sex with Salma Hayek. In between, the audience is treated to Nick Swardson shitting in a Kmart and making out with a dog, David Spade sensuously licking a female bodybuilder’s bicep while wearing a John Oates costume, members of The Lonely Island rubbing their asses on the soapy windshield of Kevin James’ car while wearing cheerleading uniforms, and Shaquille O’Neal filling a swimming pool with his urine.
