Grown Ups - 7 stars out of 10

Grown Ups - 7 stars out of 10

"Grown Ups" is another film in a string of comedies that fails to identify a target audience. The previews (and much of the film's slapstick content) is obviously intended for children, as if this is a family film; unfortunately, some of the language, sexual content, and breast feeding give it the sensation of a late-teen/young adult comedy. The highlight of the film is unquestionably Steve Buscemi, working the full-body cast with expertise. I really enjoyed the stereotypical interactions between Sandler, James, Schneider, Rock, and Spade, but the interactions often became confused when mixed in with kids for a family-movie feel. It isn't Billy Madison or 50 First Dates, but Sandler's humor shines through to create an entertaining story - just don't pick it for Family Movie Night!
