Grown Ups is a 2010 American comedy film starring Adam Sandler, Kevin James, Chris Rock, David Spade and Rob Schneider. A reunion/vehical of sorts for the "Bad Boys of SNL,"note Bar James, the above-listed actors were famous in the early 90s for introducing a then-fresh brand of crass, sophomoric humor to Saturday Night Live, saving the show from a brief slub in the 80s. James's role was originally intended for fellow "Bad Boy" Chris Farley, but the film fell into Development Hell when Farley died in 1997. the film also stars fellow 90s Saturday Night Live alums Tim Meadows and Norm MacDonald, as well as future SNL stars Colin Quinn and Maya Rudolph. Sandler and Fred Wolf wrote the script and Dennis Dugan directed. The film was produced by Sandler's production company Happy Madison Productions and was distributed by Columbia Pictures.Thirty years after graduating from high school, five former basketball teammates Lenny Feder (Sandler), Eric Lamonsoff (James), Kurt McKenzie (Rock), Marcus Higgins (Spade) and Rob Hilliard (Schneider) gather at the lake house where they celebrated their biggest victory to mourn the passing of their late coach. Over the course of the Fourth of July weekend, the five friends realize that just because they've all grown up and started families doesn't mean that they've lost that old spark. Adulthood is what you make of it, and no one at the lake house is eager to be the grown-up of the gang.A sequel was released in July 2013, where only Sandler, James, Rock and Spade returned (Schneider was unable to reprise his role due to scheduling conflicts and his wife was pregnant during production). It kicked off the The Worst Idea of All Time podcast by the New Zealand comedians Guy Montgomery and Tim Batt, who took on the challenge of watching the movie and reviewing it once a week for a year.Not to be confused with Jaleel White's short-lived UPN show.

Ambiguous Situation: Dickie claims that Lenny's game winning shot shouldn't have counted because his foot was on the out of bounds line while Lenny says otherwise. The way the scene of the shot is filmed makes it ambiguous, so it's impossible to tell who's right.

Like Father, Like Son
 Grown Ups / int_2260cfe3
comment
Like Father, Like Son: Several examples. During the championship celebration in 1978, Marcus's dad gets drunk and makes a scene. Marcus himself does the same thing 32 years later when everyone is hanging out at the lake house. Greg and Andre form a close friendship just like Lenny and Kurt. The group used to do dangerous stunts when they were kids such as go racing in shopping carts. Late in the film, their kids are seen using an air mattress to go blobbing in the lake. Greg develops a rivalry with Dickie's son not unlike their fathers'.

Actor Allusion: Gloria mentions that Rob has been compared to a "midget Filipino Fonzie" - Rob Schneider has Filipino blood. It may also be a reference to Henry Winkler's appearances in several Adam Sandler films, such as The Waterboy, Little Nicky, Click, and You Don't Mess with the Zohan. Crosses into Reality Subtext if you know that Rob really was estranged from one of his daughters at the time.

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: In the first film, the friends agree to a rematch against their old basketball rivals and begin to play a full court match to 21 points in what seems to be a climatic Big Game unfolding. However it's eventually subverted as, since they're all over 30 years older, most of them are out of shape and have various ailments that cause all but Lenny and Dickie to eventually have to sit out.

Humble Parent, Spoiled Kids: Lenny is a wealthy Hollywood talent agent, but remains the same humble guy he was when he left the group's small New England town. Most of the reason he rents the lake house with his old friends and their families is because he hates how spoiled his kids are and wants to teach them how to have fun like normal kids.

Amusing Injuries: A game of "arrow roulette", where the five compete to be the last to avoid a falling arrow, ends when it goes into Rob's foot. Later Wiley gets stuck on a zipline and crashes into a hut... and later "wins" another round of "arrow roulette". Noticeably averted with Eric and the tree-rope. It helps that a pigeon broke his fall.

What Happened to the Mouse?: Rita, the Feder's nanny, is absent from the second film. She isn't even mentioned. The same goes for Curly, the Lamonsoff family dog. The mini subplot involving Donna's crush on Keithie is never resolved.

Nancy finds it adorable and agrees to go to the party with him.

Throwing the Fight: Throwing the Game. When Lenny realizes just how much winning the game would mean to Dickie and his family, he deliberately misses the last shot and gives Dickie's team the win. In the sequel Tommy offers to throw a fight to Lenny in order to impress Lenny's son, he quickly changes the plan to simply begging not to be hit since he didn't think anyone would believe Lenny could knock him out.

The gym scene in the original cut of Grown Ups 2 had the gym teacher climb a rope not long after hitting Bumpty with a basketball, with the latter making a comment about the gym teacher needing to "put those easter eggs back in the basket". The clean version omits the rope sequence and has Bumpty respond to the teacher - after being hit - to "never sneak up on a brother."

Easily Forgiven: After getting shot in the foot, Rob takes out all his bottled-up anger entirely on Gloria and says some pretty hurtful things to her. Within a few hours though they're having crazy sex like nothing had happened. Downplayed though, since Gloria confessed that she was so upset at Rob for yelling at her, she wanted to call him "a bug-eyed sociopath with a little man complex", and "say that his hair makes him look like a dirty q-tip. Or that he resembles an older, gay Jonas Brother. Or a midget, Filipino Fonzi."

Also at one point, Rob refers to corn as "maize", which leaves everyone to make fun of him and start saying it funny. Later, after talking to his daughter, he mentions that "the kids always pay". The gang then makes fun of the way he says that, and at one point says "they pay with maize"
