"
"Over the course of the film will probably guessed, the last audience that this infantile fun was probably filmed for one reason only: so that the friend for 20 years leading man hang out and enjoy the pleasures of youth. Here, director Dennis Dugan have (, Do not mess with at ' Zohan ) and screenwriter Sandler have to give only the inevitable adolescent gags, then her film could actually say something about the disappointments of growing older and the need to be in on the important things to remember life. Conclusion: ponderously staged comedy with men acting lethargic starring ".
" Adam Sandler was achieved together with his buddies, his, regulars ' that crop up again and again in his film, once again, the magic trick of his career: About dissolute and shameless humor he conveys every once of humanity and soul-stirring depth. Here Sandler director Dennis Dugan are be familiar ( Big Daddy ) and a whole handful of good comedians ( a jubilant guest appearance by Steve Buscemi was especially noted) are available which make this time not only ridiculous. "
"It would offer up good reasons Dennis Dugan " to condemn Grown Ups ". Infantil? Naive? Adolescent? Tasteless? Maybe! But who is on honest slapstick with an open visor, will have great fun at the comedy, because the playful ensemble obtained from constructed situations and stale gags outrageous many hearty laughs out. " Grown Ups " is magnificent silly entertainment and a pure pleasure. "
" High-caliber with comedian greats, witty, but sometimes reactionary ensemble comedy about men who discover their child's side ( again ). Very good and not malicious, but rather sentimental, the film is not completely dislike thanks to some improvisations. "
