And if that doesn’t do it, the urinating deer will. ![]() By coining terms like “burpsnart”, which refers to a rapid succession of three bodily functions (I’ll let you guess which ones they are – it is performed several times in this movie), upping the number of “PG-13 friendly” phallic references to new levels and spending too much time on the antics of irrelevant side characters, none of which are the slightest bit inspired but are undeniably eye-catching, they’re sure to earn the respect of kids under the age of twelve while simply annoying the poor parents who’ve taken them to see it. The smart money said that this film was going to be terrible, but I thought at least there was the possibility of improvement.īut somehow, it’s gotten worse. I probably should have taken that into account earlier this year, considering that the team of director Dennis Dugan and writer/comedian extraordinaire Adam Sandler are a virtually unstoppable force, having produced a film almost every year since 2007’s lackluster-at-best “I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry”, and growing more tiresome ever since then (both “Just Go With It” and “Jack and Jill” made several “Worst Of” lists in 2011, including mine). ![]() It’s hard to describe how terribly unfunny 2010’s “Grown Ups” was, and even more of a challenge to capture the ineptitude of this week’s “Grown Ups 2” with words, other than to say I might need to increase my rating for “Hangover Part III” by a half star just to make space for this one in the proverbial dumper.
