Taylor Lautner to Make Grown Ups 2 the Greatest Movie of All Time

by | April 5th, 2012

I know we were all already about as excited as humanly possible for the sequel to Adam Sandler's seminal hit comedy Grown Ups, but now, somehow, the anticipation has just been ratcheted up another notch: Teen Choice Award-winning actor and sit-up enthusiast Taylor Lautner has been added to the cast. Adam Sandler, Kevin James, Chris Rock, David Spade, Maya Rudolph and Salma Hayek were already set to reprise their roles from the original, but now with Lautner on board in what is being described with total sincerity as a "fun" role by trade publications, I don't know if I have the personal fortitude to wait another year for [...]

Nick Swardson Is Taking Rob Schneider's Place in 'Grown Ups 2'

by | March 5th, 2013

It looks like one of the stars of Grown Ups will be missing when the inevitable sequel comes out this summer. Rob Schneider is the only one of the central five characters who isn't returning for Grown Ups 2, and he's been replaced by his fellow Adam Sandler regular Nick Swardson. Swardson will play an alcoholic school bus driver who's the brother of Rob Schneider's character from the original and sports a similar hairstyle.

The reasons for Schneider not being included in the film are unclear. In a radio interview last year, Schneider cited money issues and a scheduling conflict with his CBS sitcom Rob, explaining, "They're doing [...]

Plan Your Escape Route From the Horror of Grown Ups 2 Now

by | January 13th, 2012

Grown Ups 2 wasn't just a bad dream you had a month ago. It's actually a movie, and it's going to be released on July 12, 2013. Thankfully, that's still a year away, so you might die before then, or develop some kind of super-maturity where you're not compelled to pay attention to movies you don't care for. Or maybe the whole Internet will break tomorrow and we won't have to hear anything else about this.

What Is This Hodgepodge Group of 'SNL' Actors Doing in 'Grown Ups 2'?

by | May 30th, 2012

To be clear that is Andy Samberg, Will Forte, Paul Brittain, Bobby Moynihan, Akiva Schaffer, and I believe Taran Killam on the set of Grown Ups 2. What!? Did Adam Sandler just ask the casting director for "anyone involved in SNL over the last few years?" Did the first Grown Ups test really poorly in the coveted "People Who Know Who Paul Brittain and Akiva Schaffer Are" demo? As the pictures below suggest, the gang plays high school(?) cheerleaders on a mission to wash cars and show off their giant penises. Oh and Kevin James is there so he can relive his days as a high school(?) cheerleader, [...]

Brace Yourself For Grown Ups 2, America

by | December 7th, 2011

Guh. However apocalyptically bad some of Adam Sandler's movies might be, at least he's never made a sequel to any of them. UNTIL NOW. Grown Ups' writer Fred Wolf is may write a follow-up movie, and depending on the script Sandler might produce it. You think he'll buy all his co-stars houses for this one?
