Grown Ups, Not Really

As much as I enjoy the comedy of Adam Sandler, Chris Rock, David Spade, Rob Schnieder and Kevin James, I was disappointed in the sophomoric humor that made the 98 minute running time of this movie seem more like a short lifetime.
Filled with adlibs and self-admiration, this film wastes the talents of these very talented comediennes.
The plot, full of cheap bunion and flatulence jokes, reunites five friends from childhood after they all attend the funeral of their championship high school basketball coach.
They reunite for a long weekend and here is where the doldrums begin. Nothing really happens.
The climax scene, and the only funny moment of the film, occurs when the boys, now middle-aged, take on a basketball team they played more than 30 years prior – even though they are all now out of shape.
Seems like these guys really do enjoy each other’s company. The problem is, we get to watch painstakingly as they laugh at each other’s jokes, which, unfortunately, just aren’t all that funny.
