BY MICHAEL GOODPASTER
Grown Ups was not a movie for me. It was a little too family orientated and had a lot of “aw shucks” moments. The things I remembered most from the movie was that Chris Rock was barely around despite being a main character, Kevin James is not Chris Farley despite being pretty cool on his own regard, and the whole “I want to get chocolate wasted!” line. I’ll still quote that line in the most snarky asshole way I can. I know not every movie has to be an R-rated vulgar comedy, but a little edge and a little substance would have gone a long way in that first movie. And now there’s a second one? This one is about the last day of school and gives us cameos from Andy Samberg, Milo Ventimiglia, and Steve Austin. This movie is such a bad idea that Rob Schneider isn’t even coming back for it. Rob Schnieder is turning down work. The sky is falling.
