The story is about five boyhood friends reunited for the funeral of their former basketball coach. Lenny Fender (Adam Sandler) is a high-powered Hollywood talent agent, married to Roxanne (Salma Hayek) a fashion designer, and has three children. Eric Lamonsoff (Kevin James) claims he is the co-owner of a lawn furniture company, married to Sally (Maria Bello) a stay-at-home mom that is still breast feeding their youngest child of two, even though he is four-years-old. Kurt McKenzie (Chris Rock) is a stay-at-home father, hooked on cooking shows, married to Deanne (Maya Rudolph), with two kids and one on the way. Deanne's mother also lives with the family. Rob Hillard (Rob Schneider) is a three time divorced pacifist vegan, married to Gloria (Joyce Van Patten), who is 30 years his senior. Last but not least is Marcus Higgins (David Spade), the lazy womanizer. A new role for Spade... Not!
All five harass each other on a regular basis, and that is where most of the laughs come from. This film is so full of one-liners you may have to watch it twice to get them all. Everyone on the cast of 'Grown Ups' does their job, and very well. There are no real low spots in the movie, just some scenes are funnier than others. Like the "Arrow Roulette" scene, something new, and down right hilarious.
'Grown Ups' is on my must see list, but don't just rent it, go ahead and save your self some time and buy it... You will anyway.
I give Grown Ups a solid 5 stars
