I felt worse for the fat bully than I did for his target because of the of the mean Adam Sandler comebacks he suffered. Grown Ups 2 presents you a ridiculous character, then validates you by making fun of that character. The lowest common denominator may find this humor amusing, but be aware that it’s appealing to your worst nature. Don’t give the film too much credit for staging big set pieces though, because Eric’s greatest triumph in the film is flatulence. At least pratfalls require some sort of physical exertion, and the physical comedy sequences are rather elaborate. First Sandler goes, then James, then Rock, then Spade, unless Spade is the butt of the joke himself. It’s not much of a plot, but at least it’s more than “four comedians go on vacation and make fun of each other.” The old guys run afoul of the local D-bag fraternity and decide to throw a party to celebrate the end of the school year. Marcus (David Spade) has a teenage son he finds out about. Kurt (Chris Rock)’s daughter is starting to date. Eric (Kevin James) has to face the fear he never faced in high school. Everyone gets a new subplot: Lenny is dodging his wife (Salma Hayek)’s conversation about having another baby. Lenny Fader (Sandler) has moved his family back home to his small town, where his three childhood buddies still live.
