In 1978, five 12-year-olds win a CYO basketball championship. Thirty years later, they gather with their families for their coach's funeral and a weekend at a house on a lake where they used to party. By now, each is a grownup with problems and challenges: Marcus is alone and drinks too much. Rob, with three daughters he rarely sees, is always deeply in love until he turns on his next ex-wife. Eric is overweight and out of work. Kurt is a househusband, henpecked by wife and mother-in-law.

Leave your thoughts about Grown Ups.
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekInfantile, a puerile, pitifully sloppy comedy about a bunch of guys suffering from arrested development made by guys who apparently actually do. |
| Philadelphia Daily NewsGary ThompsonDugan and Sandler are like the BP of lowbrow gags. Their movies are an unpluggable gusher of juvenile comedy; the good gags wash up along the bad, and it's your job to sort through the muck. |
| Reeling ReviewsLaura CliffordEverything he does, from Feder's big-hearted rematch play, is countered by something base, like the snipped vocal cords of the Lamonsoff's dog, used for laughs. It's that long-standing and frustrating Sandler dichotomy. |
| Boston HeraldJames VerniereIf you feel like spending real money for peeing-in-the-pool sight gags, I can't stop you. |
| FromTheBalconyBill ClarkThis is as flat, lazy, and uninspired of a comedy as any in years. |
| E! OnlineMatt StevensWith its undeveloped premise and juvenile humor, Grown Ups remains emotionally and comedically stunted. |
| Chicago ReaderJ. R. JonesBeneath all the forced hilarity lies an awful fear of aging - and Sandler is only 43! This is gonna be rough. |
| Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanFor a while, the movie looks like "Couples Retreat" or a Tyler Perry house party, only instead of cookie-cutter conflicts, everyone just grows happier and more relaxed. |
| ReelViewsJames BerardinelliNo one in their right mind goes to an Adam Sandler movie for any reason other than to laugh, and Grown Ups delivers. |
| BeliefnetNell MinowAn excruciating mess of gross-out humor, eww-inspiring vulgarity, and soppy sentimentality. |
