Grown Ups 2 - 亞當等大人2
Grown Ups 2 (亞當等大人2) is an 2013 film. The movie stars an ensemble cast of Adam Sandler, Kevin James, Chris Rock, David Spade, and Salma Hayek. The supporting cast include Maya Rudolph, Maria Bello, Nick Swardson, Steve Buscemi, Taylor Lautner, Steve Austin, Shaquille O'Neal, Andy Samberg, and Dan Patrick. Numerous other cameos from the SNL pack. The is the sequel to Sandler's last successful box office movie, the first Grown Ups.
Events of this movie take place 10 months after the first Grown Ups movie. The Feder's have settled into life in Lenny's hometown. Lenny's got a lot on his plate as a father and general bum. Lenny takes on bus driver duties when Nick is a little drugged up when he picks up his kid. We move into bits and pieces of each of the four main stars lives both in their careers and at home. The rest of the towns folk come into play from both school and work. The friends convince Lenny to through a end of year party at his house. Roxanne decides to make it a 80s themed party. The movie cumulates with a battle with local college frat boys.
The movie is around 16 hours of the day in the life of the Feder's. From the time Lenny wakes up to the time he goes to bed. The movie has a lot of gross out humor to go with their "real" life experiences of family, friends, and life in general. Lots of cameos has you looking for a who's who of 1980s and 1990s SNL stars, as well as others that Sandler movies have picked up through the years. Sandler's none family movies of late have bombed. Once riding a streak of $100 million movies, he's hit a rough patch. Maybe gross out humor of this sort is his calling card or a fade into oblivion as well. I for one hope now. Although some the humor is really bad, I am a fan and would rent his movies. Just won't see it in the theaters.
