At places where the script fails, it is the acting talent and experience of the actors that pull the narrative through. Having a star-cast has helped the overall quality of the film. But die-hard fans of Adam Sandler, who have acquired a taste for his unique brand of situational humor would also like this movie. The previous major buddy-comedy film The Hangover is a classic case in point, where the full potential of the plot was realized on screen.

Believed to have been inspired by the classic comedy flick The Big Chill, one can see that Grown Ups does not match up to the quality of the former.Īs far as the weakness of the movie goes, the script writing team of Fred Wolf and Adam Sandler have wasted much of the potential offered by the plot. Herein lies the drawback of the film as well, for the quirky, adolescent behavior of the five friends can at times appear to be too artificial and conjured up to be appreciated. The sexual innuendoes, drunken behavior, barbeques and games all set up interesting situations in which the characters play out their quirky personalities to full effect. When the children and spouses of the five friends also get involved in the plot, it sets up awkward, unexpected and suspicious situations, all of which add to the comic effect of the movie.

But after a while such comedy loses its novelty and effect.

There is a certain comic feel to see middle-aged participants in a children’s game.
