Alexander ludwig grown ups 25/21/2023 The daughter might be dating a Steve Urkel knock-off, and the littlest one spends the whole movie biting and pooping. Chris Rock’s character and his wife (Maya Rudolph) weren’t really given much of an arc. He can also do this thing, which is never funny (even though they do it 800 times in the film), where he farts/sneezes/burps at the same time. His kids are stupid, and he seems to have gained a substantial amount of weight since the last film. Kevin James’s big character arc with his wife (Maria Bello) is that he spends a lot of time at his mothers place. The little daughter is a ballerina with a hot teacher. The middle one is being bullied at school. The oldest one is best friends with Chris Rock’s kid, and they go to a frat party. His wife (Hayek) wants to have another baby, and his kids seem to be more featured than in the first film. He’s decided to stop being rich and famous, for reasons that aren’t really explained. The plot of the second film revolves around the other four families from the original, and now Sandler lives back in his hometown with everyone else. Aside from a running gag with an inflatable raft, his character never made me laugh. You would think Swardson would get tired of playing mildly retarded characters, but he seems to be at home being functionally one of the worst characters written onto screen in 2013. Sandler decided instead to replace Rob with a “brother” played by Nick Swardson, in probably his dumbest role to date. Rob sure does know how to bite the hand that feeds. Schneider claims he was busy shooting his failed CBS sitcom Rob, but there’s a rumor that he wanted more money. And for some reason, Rob Schneider isn’t in this film. Sandler was offered Grown Ups 2, turned to his friends, and asked how many of them wanted paychecks. I could have kept going in the “Starring” part, but considering Andy Samberg’s cameo is non-speaking (as are the rest of the Lonely Island and some random SNL alumni), I left them off.
