ReelViews
No one in their right mind goes to an Adam Sandler movie for any reason other than to laugh, and Grown Ups delivers. - 67
Entertainment Weekly
For a while, the movie looks like "Couples Retreat" or a Tyler Perry house party, only instead of cookie-cutter conflicts, everyone just grows happier and more relaxed. - 60
Boxoffice Magazine
Current Saturday Night Live (SNL) comic Will Forte may have bombed in the recent SNL spin-off "MacGruber," but a dream team of SNL alums, including ringleader Adam Sandler, put the luster back in the SNL reputation with the audience-pleasing, all-ages comedy Grown Ups. - 50
Chicago Sun-Times
A pleasant, genial, good-hearted, sometimes icky comedy that's like spending a weekend with well-meaning people you don't want to see again any time real soon. - 50
Chicago Tribune
The only people humiliated, really, are older people and heavy people and nerds and vegans and black people and mothers who breast-feed their 4-year-olds. Everybody else gets a pass. - 40
Chicago Reader
Beneath all the forced hilarity lies an awful fear of aging--and Sandler is only 43! This is gonna be rough. - 38
Orlando Sentinel
These guys set out to make a movie where they could crack each other up. At this late date, they can't even manage that. - 30
Village Voice
While Sandler has never trafficked in epigrammatic wit, there's a difference between, say, Billy Madison's "Of course I peed my pants--everyone my age pees their pants" or "I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry's" shakedown of hetero squeamishness, and this lazy stuff--the difference between smart-dumb and plain-dumb.
