“Grown Ups 2” opens with a display of animal urination. After the main
titles, we spy Lenny (Adam Sandler) asleep inside his palatial suburban
home, awaking to the sight of a deer causally hanging out in his room.
Trying to rouse wife Roxanne (Salma Hayek), her screams of surprise
trigger the deer to rear back on its hind legs and pee all over Lenny’s
face. This event occurs in the first few minutes of the movie. The
picture closes with Lenny breaking wind while pawing at Roxanne during
sex. It’s been three years since the original “Grown Ups” broke all box
office records for a Sandler production, and this is how the audience is
repaid, offered bathroom humor bookends as reward. It might be hard to
believe, but the sequel actually gets worse as it drags its corpse-like
sense of humor around for what feels like an eternity.
