Title: Grown Ups
Product review: This movie had some potential. It could have been a comedy version of "The Big Chill" or similar retrospective movie. Several old friends get together after a common link to their pasts died. After the funeral they gather for a weekend of catching up and reviewing their lives. This is a good idea for a film. It could have been sentimental or it could have been introspective. Instead it was stupid.No part of it was really all that funny, though several people in the theater with me were laughing hysterically. I couldn't really understand why. Adam Sandler is a dud as a movie maker. Kevin James tried to carry his share of the load, but failed. The others limp along through one irrelevant scene after another. The movie never really developed a plot, it just went along for a couple of hours then ended.I'm glad I saw this at the discount theater because anything else would have been a waste of money.
