Grown Ups

2010, 102 minutes

30 years after their graduation, 5 friends reunite for a fun weekend.

{{plot|section|date=April 2011}} In 1978, five childhood friends won their junior high basketball championship. During the celebration at a rented lake house, their coach "Buzzer" (Blake Clark) encourages them to live their lives in a similar way to how they played the game. Thirty years later, the five friends have since separated. Lenny Feder (Adam Sandler) is a high-powered Hollywood talent agent who is married to Roxanne (Salma Hayek), a fashion designer, and has three kids. His sons Greg and Keithie have become very spoiled, much to his annoyance. Eric Lamonsoff (Kevin James (actor)|Kevin James) claims he is now a co-owner of a lawn furniture company, is married to Sally (Maria Bello) and has two kids, Donna and Bean (the latter of whom still breastfeeds despite the fact that he is 4 years old, much to Sally's pleasure and Eric's frustration). Kurt McKenzie (Chris Rock) is a stay-at-home father who is married to Deanne (Maya Rudolph), the primary breadwinner of the family, and has two kids. Deanne is pregnant with another child and Deanne's mother also lives with the family. Rob Hilliard (Rob Schneider) is a thrice-divorced pacifist veganism|vegan married to Gloria (Joyce Van Patten), who is 30 years older than he is. Marcus Higgins (David Spade) is a lazy womanizer. All of them regularly harass each other in comedic fashion throughout the movie; Lenny for being rich (although he tries to downplay it), Eric for being overweight, Kurt for being skinny and not being more useful, Rob for his way of saying "Hey!" (and other rhyming words) and for having a much older wife, and Marcus for being a slacker. When the friends found out that Buzzer has died, they all return to New England with their families to attend his private funeral. Lenny rents the lake house for the Independence Day (United States)|4th of July weekend for his friends to stay at, but Lenny can't stay for the whole weekend because Roxanne has a fashion show in Milan. While at the lake house, Lenny is annoyed that their kids would rather play video games than spend time outdoors, so he and the others force their kids to play outside during their stay. Eric has a small incident on a rope swing and injures a bird. At a local restaurant, Lenny runs into his old nemesis Dickie Bailey (Colin Quinn). Dickie is still upset at Lenny because he allegedly had his foot out of bounds when he made the long-ago game winning shot and challenges him and his friends to a rematch, but Lenny declines, declaring it a waste of time. During the vacation everybody tries to reach their inner child, laughter will follow and some secrets will be revealed as these five hilarious guys and their families get along.
