I never thought that I would say this, but I’ve just watched the worst Adam Sandler movie ever, and that’s a lot considering I usually really like him. (16.07.2014)

Perhaps a bit more successful than the previous Grown Ups, I even laughed a few times, but that doesn't mean it’s much praise for the film. As soon as there was pissing, vomiting and so on in the film, I asked myself if I really needed to watch that. Fortunately, Salma Hayek and humor, or a hint of it (the scene with the football, the injury and the hospital), occasionally appeared in the big mess that is this film. Of the 100 minutes, however, at least 80 were awkward. (04.10.2014)

I understand that most people are now shaking their heads at me, wondering what got into me and why I am giving such a rating to this particular movie. I know it's exaggerated, it's really exaggerated, but don't I have at least one space for a little subjectivity? Well, this is exactly the moment and I would like to write something about the movie that made me laugh for most of its running time in the cinema. Yes, sometimes because some scenes were very awkward and stupid, but at that moment, I didn't mind at all. More: http://www.filmovy-denik.cz/2013/09/machri-2-2013-90.html (08.09.2013)

Compared to the tolerable and at times quite entertaining first film, the sequel to Grown Ups barely borders on the tolerable. The worst part is that the stupid humor wasn't even funny anymore, and when I laughed I was also shaking my head (maybe at myself). Because these are exactly the "comedic" waters Adam Sandler shouldn't venture into anymore. I find it terribly forced, shallow, tastelessly infantile, and it stars Taylor Lautner to boot. Next time, it would need at least a micro-dose of perspective and at least a somewhat cinematic script – this was just a sequence of vignettes bizarrely pieced together into a feature film.
