What's NOT to like about this movie?
Even though Zohan sucked, Adam Sandler's upcoming movie Grown Ups was actually really funny, and yet light-hearted enough to maybe bring your kids too see (maybe). Although the comedy was punchy with testosterone-filled jokes, everyone could really appreciate the humor conjured up by comedic geniuses like Sandler, David Spade, Chris Rock, Kevin James and Rob Schneider.
Picture this:
– Chris Rock as a house husband / Mr. Mom
– Sandler not undertaking a crazy, weird persona, and playing a good average dad
– David Spade as a womanizing bachelor who wants to nail Rob Schneider's daughters
– Schneider as a sensitive soul who has an old lady wife and two daughters so gorgeous no one believes he's the father

The plot: mediocre; the jokes themselves: funny. The pace of the movie: slower. The rating I forsee: PG-13 (Did I mention the amount of times Maria Bello whips out her booby to feed her four-year old son?)
This movie may not be as racy a comedy as it could have been, but I believe the point was to make it tasteful enough for everyone in the family to see. Kids under ten will not get the perverted references anyway, unless your eleven year old son has Playboys stashed under his bed already. Even so, when this movie does release for everyone to see, YOU SHOULD GO SEE IT.
Grown Ups is a testament to us adults that fun and games are not just for children. I would, and will, see it again.
