Grown Ups

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. Adam Sandler leads a cast of mid-life boors (Chris Rock, David Spade and Rob Schneider among them) to a lakeside retreat for the funeral of their beloved high school coach. There they proceed to ride water-slides in slo-mo, laugh themselves stupid and pull disgusted faces at a sixtysomething woman on the basis that she is still sexually active and therefore so much more repulsive than the teenage hottie who fixes her car with her rear in the air. Oh, and somewhere along the way they learn to love each other and celebrate good times and poke fun at Schneider who cooks the banana pancakes they eat for their breakfast. "Something stinks in here!" hollers Sandler as he barrels into the kitchen. Gags, script, characters: could be anything.
