What I’m Watching
After watching I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry two days ago and getting a good laugh out of it, I decided to watch another movie starring Adam Sandler and Kevin James yesterday called Grown Ups.
This movie features the lives of five men who have been friends since they were young and on the same basketball team under the same coach when they won the championship. Around thirty years later, they are reunited when they learn that their coach has died. All five of them attend the funeral, and decide to spend some time together afterwards at a lakehouse for the Independence Day weekend.
The five men are ecstatic when memories of their childhood return, but are slightly disturbed when their children are still emerged in technology, even in such a pleasant outdoors environment. The remainder of the movie shows the five men and their families interacting and sorting out the conflicts they have within their families.
For me, this was a pretty good and funny movie. The plotline emulates the lives of five regular men who are living their regular lives, so it may not be as action-packed and funny as something set-up. However, if you value the movie for what it was intended to be, it’s pretty comedic.
