Review of Grown Ups

Grown Ups (I) (2010)
7/10
A movie that brings back the true fashion of being a kid
22 July 2012
I think Adam Sandler did a great job in this movie of reminding parents the importance of teaching their kids about being a true kid that doesn't consist of being inside all day under the constant supervision of a parent. He really encouraged the idea of getting away, letting go of spoiled rich kid behavior and going out and getting hurt and getting right back up and going at it again.

Kids should be allowed to go outside, get in trouble, have fun, and do stuff that is just dumb and stupid because it is what makes being a kid all the better, plus makes the memories all that more to cherish.

The part when the kids sounded like they were talking on their cell phones, but instead found them with string and cups talking to one another, it is one of those Adam moments that he gives the audience to say "this is how kids should grow up, playing and learning on their own."

The overall idea of bringing back the friends he grew up with for a fun weekend was a good idea for a movie. The acting was a little bland at times but I think it is great that Adam always beings back his friends to make another great movie. The jokes can be corny at times but I think that is what he strives for, something everyone can get.
