Fratboys take over the adult guys’ favorite swimming hole in a big stone quarry and their leader (Twilight’s Taylor Lautner) challenges them to jump off a high cliff into the water naked. Of course, they do. Angry that his newly-discovered dad lied to him to keep from spending time with him, Braden trashes the frat house making the guys think Lenny and his pals, including Braden’s dad, did it!

In addition to a huge fight between the party-crashing fratboys and everybody else, Lenny’s ‘80’s party includes him finally getting even with the bully who haunted his childhood when the guy decides to bond with him and they “fake” a fight which Lenny fake-wins. The same deer from the first scene attacks Taylor Lautner with disastrous results and Charlotte gets to show off her singing talent while Nancy finally kisses a grateful Greg, Keithie overcomes his bully and Marcus and son buddy up.

Wrapping Up 3u4h69
Way more goes on in the Grown Ups 2 story than I had space to mention but there are more “ewwwww”, gross pottie humor moments in the film than truly funny ones. Sure, you’ll have some laughs and you might escape summer boredom while you identify with some of the young teens enjoying a first beer, first date/kiss and suffering a first bully etc.

The story is all over the place as we cut to each family’s personal problems/experiences and it doesn’t all come together really until the big ‘80’s party at the end.
Let’s get real: for a popcorn-munching, mindless, silly escape time at the Cineplex, you will probably enjoy the film but we’ve gotta go 2 out of 5 stars.
