New York Daily News
You know what you’re going to get, and that is, indeed, what Sandler delivers. It’s juvenile, it’s obvious and it’s crass. But with Sandler at the helm, at least it’s as easy to like as it is to forget. - 38
McClatchy-Tribune News Service
It’s another pointless romp through Sandlerland — where the women are buxom, the kids have catch-phrases and the jokes are below average. - 38
Chicago Sun-Times
An average Adam Sandler comedy, which, sadly, means it’s a below-average comedy — because whatever comedic fire and bursts of genuinely inspired humor Sandler once possessed have long ago burnt out. - 20
New Orleans Times-Picayune
Lazy and stupid and unwilling to put forth the effort needed to distinguish itself even from a mediocre Internet video, it all amounts to a forgettable, slapdash bit of comedic nothingness. - 20
The Hollywood Reporter
Throughout, gags are cartoonishly broad and afforded so little time for setup and delivery we seem to be watching less a story than a catalog of tossed-out material. - 20
Arizona Republic
It’s hard to imagine another comedy coming along this year that is this abrasive and free of laughs. It’s like everyone involved intentionally tried to create a horrible movie. - 20
Time Out
In the first five minutes, a deer walks into the star’s bedroom and urinates on his face. It’s all downhill from there. - 10
Variety
Among the slackest, laziest, least movie-like movies released by a major studio in the last decade, Grown Ups 2 is perhaps the closest Hollywood has yet come to making “Ow! My Balls!” seem like a plausible future project.
