If Adam Sandler felt the burning desire to make a sequel to one of his movies, I guess I'm glad it was
Grown Ups. (And, by the way, I'm not counting films like
Punch-Drunk Love and
Funny People, which aren't part of his Happy Madison stable of starring vehicles.)
Grown Ups is pretty sophomoric, but it's got a lot more spirit and sweetness than, say,
That's My Boy. With that said, though,
Grown Ups 2 may be the worst thing he's ever done. I survey the wreckage over at
Paste.
(By the way, look at how sad Nick Swardson looks in this photo. Poor guy.)
