#Taylor lautner grown ups 2 movie

A thick, indolent haze of self-satisfaction hung over 2010’s Grown Ups, a fratty comedy of arrested development, but all the worst qualities of that movie are multiplied and amplified in this phoned-in abomination, which asks audiences to pay for and identify with a ceaseless stream of self-involved mugging.įor a bit, since there isn’t an honest character moment in the movie and one’s brain is free to wander, a thinking person might entertain the notion that Grown Ups 2 is in fact a demented parody of comedies of parenthood and mid-life crisis. Until then, there will exist a good chance of further unchecked hyper-indulgences like the punishingly unfunny Grown Ups 2, which opens with a sequence in which a deer urinates all over the face of his character (a stand-in for viewers, perhaps?) and goes only downhill from there. At some point, someone in a position of authority will tell Adam Sandler no, or at least ask to read a screenplay.
