Grown Ups

"Grown Ups delivers precious few laughs for the sheer volume of comedy talent on offer."

"Inoffensive enough to stop you packing up for home, though that’s part of the problem – Sandler and co have rarely played it safer, or more self-indulgent."

"It doesn't get worse than Grown Ups, Adam Sandler's sloppy entry into this year's man-child-comedy sweepstakes. Lazy, mean-spirited, incoherent, infantile and, above all, witless."

"If root canal surgery feels too childish a torment, may we direct your attention to this ghastly celebrity roast in the guise of a boisterous family comedy."

"A pleasant, genial, good-hearted, sometimes icky comedy that's like spending a weekend with well-meaning people you don't want to see again any time real soon."

"The new Adam Sandler comedy has all the charm of a home movie that does not star your own family, which means it's overly sentimental, filled with you-had-to-be-there moments, bad jokes and even worse camera angles."

"Despite the lazily self-satisfied results, his (Sandler) aging fan base likely will come along for the lackadaisical ride."

"Smug and lazy comedy that barely raises a chuckle."

"Grown Ups elicits more groans than laughs."
