Adam Sandler Considers GROWN UPS Sequel; America is to Blame

by Dave Trumbore    Posted: December 6th, 2011 at 4:34 pm

Believe it or not, from Adam Sandler’s extensive body of films, he has never made a sequel. Now some of you may argue that his basic plot is rehashed in 90% of his films (and I wouldn’t disagree), but the fact remains that there has never been a second installment of any of his films. It seems that the creative well has run even drier as Showblitz (via Variety) reports that Sandler is in talks with Grown Ups scribe, Fred Wolf to discuss a potential sequel. I can’t exactly blame him. Sony and Happy Madison Productions’  Grown Ups was the highest-grossing film for Sandler at a worldwide total of $271 million. Though Sandler is not yet signed on for the sequel, his involvement is contingent upon the script. Perhaps we’ll see him in a reunion with Kevin James, Chris Rock, Rob Schneider and David Spade. Hit the jump for more, including why this is all America’s fault.

GROWN UPS Blu-ray Review

by Scott Wampler    Posted: November 7th, 2010 at 7:41 am

Earlier this year, we watched Columbia/Sony’s marketing department go absolutely crazy with their push for audiences to see Grown Ups, a comedy starring Adam Sandler, Chris Rock, Kevin James, David Spade, and Rob Schneider.  Apparently, that push worked:  Grown Ups earned well over $160m at the box office, a figure that’s truly astounding.  Having avoided the film like the Red Death when it was in theaters over the summer, I was curious when Collider’s overlords handed me a copy of the Blu-ray for review:  Would Grown Ups be as bad as I was expecting it to be, or were those $160m worth of people right all along?  Read on for the full review after the jump…

New Trailers for KNIGHT AND DAY, GROWN UPS, and ONDINE

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: April 16th, 2010 at 9:31 am

We’ve got a nice batch of trailers for you this fine Friday morning.  First up, there’s the great trailer for the action-comedy Knight and Day starring Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz.  I’ve come to accept that Tom Cruise: The Celebrity will always be a figure of ridicule, but I still believe that Tom Cruise: The Actor is a lot of fun.

Then there’s the awful trailer for Grown Ups starring Adam Sandler, Kevin James, Chris Rock, Rob Schneider, and David Spade.  Let me sum it up right now: Fatty fall down, woman breast-feeds 4-year-old, men pee in swimming pool.  Oh the hilarity.

Finally, there’s the trailer for Ondine starring Colin Farrell.  It’s worth checking out because it looks like an old myth but told with originality.  Hit the jump to see all three trailers along with a synopsis for each movie.

New High Resolution Images from GROWN UPS Starring Adam Sandler, Kevin James, Chris Rock, Rob Schneider, and David Spade

by David Lane    Posted: February 3rd, 2010 at 11:38 am

Sony has released a bunch of new images from their summer comedy Grown Ups. Starring Adam Sandler, Kevin James, Chris Rock, Rob Schneider, David Spade, Salma Hayek, Maria Bello, and Maya Rudolph, the film is about five friends and former teammates who reunite decades later to honor the passing of their childhood basketball coach.  With their wives and kids in tow, they spend the Fourth of July holiday weekend together at the lake house where they celebrated their championship years earlier.

With a June 25 release date, you know Grown Ups is going to be a safe middle-of-the-road comedy, but after the insane box office of Paul Bart: Mall Cop , I wouldn’t bet against this film.  Hit the jump to check out all the new high resolution images:

David Spade Will Throw JOE DIRT All Over Your TV Screen

by Brendan Bettinger    Posted: January 28th, 2010 at 9:25 am

Audiences have been clamoring since 2001 for an update on the life of lovable(?) redneck Joe Dirt, and David Spade has finally found a way to satisfy the demand.  Spade, who co-wrote and starred in Dirt, is teaming up with TBS to produce an animated series based on the mischievous character according to The Live Feed. The logline indicates that the show will depict the shenanigans of the “mullet-sporting, muscle-car-loving loser with a heart of gold.”

I do have one (and exactly one) fond memory of Joe Dirt: Christopher Walken.  If they find a way to incorporate his wacky brand of non sequiturs into a weekly television series, count me in.  Although, the same could be said of any other show, movie, play, commercial, or audiobook, really.

First Trailer for GROWN UPS Starring Adam Sandler, Kevin James, and Chris Rock

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: November 12th, 2009 at 5:21 pm

You know that Adam Sandler, Kevin James, and Chris Rock are good guys because they let their friends Rob Schneider and David Spade share the spotlight despite the complete lack of talent or star power from those two.  But we can enjoy another safe, middle-of-the-road comedy from comedians who lost all desire for subversive and challenging humor in their movies (although to be fair, Rock excels when performing his own material).  I’m sure it will be successful at the box office, but I’ll be spending time on films I find funny rather than those that make me wistful for a time when Sandler was willing to be madcap enough to set Bradley Whitford on fire in one scene and have him perfectly fine in the next.

Hit the jump to see the trailer along with a brief synopsis.
