(67%) Watching this very odd film is a real eye opener. Adam Sandler does something he very rarely ever does: he actually tries without being trying. Here he's funny, interesting, there's no laziness or stupid voices, and above all else he delivers an honesty very good performance. So the big question really is why Grown ups 2? This may be a masterpiece compared to most of his back catalogue, but this still has a couple of issues surrounding its frantic nature at times being a bit too grating to watch. There isn't a whole lot of depth to the plot, but there's lots of little nice touches throughout meaning this is something I'd happily watch again and see something new that I'd missed. This is certainly well worth a look simply just to see another, very fine side of the largely wasted talent of Adam Sandler.
