Too bad this is bad. The concept looks cool .

[Empire]

I find it amazing that an easy money maker was destroyed by Sony.

Just because it has awful reviews doesn't mean it won't be profitable at the box office.

[mahnamahna]

By the way, Adam Sandler's best movie will always be The Wedding Singer. It's still a completely delightful movie.

 

Punch Drunk Love is pretty solid, too. 

 

Hotel Transylvania, Spanglish, Funny People and Reign Over Me are also decent enough to not deserve any real hate. They're not fantastic, but definitely not awful. 

 

Everything else of his is either a guilty pleasure or absolute garbage, minus Wedding Singer. 

I find it amazing that an easy money maker was destroyed by Sony. 

If they swapped James for Michael Keaton, Sandler for Pratt/Tatum (son of the President, rather than best friend), and Monahagan for really any A-list actress (Chastain, Blunt, Watson, Stone, J-Law, etc)   ... and gotten someone other than the Happy Madison crew to produce, it could have been the crowdpleasing sleeper hit of the summer. 

 

Sony's bad casting and foolish decision to get Happy Madison involved will cost them. Especially since this is their only big film this summer

I haven't seen either

Get on Gremlins.... Its awesome

Which is funny seeing as how that movie used 80s nastalgia as part of its appeal to audiences just like Poxels is using late 70s/early 80s video game nastalgia as part of its appeal.

Get on Gremlins.... Its awesome

 

Gremlins is pretty meh. Started off solid, but got more ridiculous as it went long to the point of too ridiculous. Adventures in Babysitting is great fun though, that one remains underrated. Home Alone is Home Alone. 

[Dementeleus]

Home Alone is Home Alone. 

 

[junkshop36]

Goonies, Gemlins, Adventures in Babysitting and Home Alone are all awesome.

[CaptainJackSparrow]

I really enjoyed Hotel Transylvania, a good Sandler family film.

[misafeco]

Another rotten reviews. Under 10% can happen.

[redfirebird2008]

 

Tele doesn't like Home Alone?

 

[BourneFan #1]

I can't believe the first Grown Ups only has 10% on RT! It is so funny. The sequel was shit though.

Sandler's desire to play to the four quadrants really screwed him over in the long run.

 

When comedians have no real experience playing it safe to appeal to everyone, all they really have to utilize are farts, crotch shots, bodily fluids, pratfalls frequently involving fat people, and/or in Sandler's case, improvising lazy jokes or gibberish.

[Ethan Hunt]

Grown Up is absolutely terrible, not funny in the slightest. And I don't mind Sandler

[WrathOfHan]

I watched Grown Ups on FX once, it was torture. So. Damn. Boring.

Kevin James gives this talk about how much he misses eating candy bars. Wow, really compelling topic of conversation.

So another sander film with terrible reviews. I would love it if sandler decided to do more dramas.

[dashrendar44]

[Jay Beezy]

I'm down for Zohan 2.

 

There's only one movie I'm down with. It was that movie he was supposed to do with Will Ferrell called Three Mississippi.

I watched on a bus in DC right after watching Back to the Future
