I saw two movies this past weekend. One of them was the most scariest thing I've seen in the theatre in a long time. The other one was The Conjuring.
Grown Ups 2 is the quickie cash in from those fellows in the original Grown Ups. Nothing can prepare you for the horror. The original at least had a semblance of a story -- its sequel nada. I didn't laugh once. Okay, maybe a few chuckles but not hard or loud as the crowd of 13 year olds did. They even clapped at the end! Sadly, those kids are our future and they all are knuckle heads.
Don't watch this movie even if it comes on cable. There is nothing redeemable about it. I want to gouge my eyes out. I can't believe I saw this.
Afterwards, I thought about the failure of Hollywood. This is what they are offering now. Unfortunately, they probably have more of the same. The action has gone to television. They tell stories there and not spectacles. They are more creative and not creatively bankrupt. They tell stories you want to see. Movies not so much.
1 of 5 stars.
