Grown Ups: Difference between revisions

Thirty years after graduating from high school, five former basketball teammates gather at the lake house where they celebrated their biggest victory to mourn the passing of their late coach. Over the course of the Fourth of July weekend, the five friends realize that just because they've all grown up and started families doesn't mean that they've lost that old spark. Adulthood is what you make of it, and no one at the lake house is eager to be the grown-up of the gang.

* [[Adorkable]]: {{spoiler|Rob's [[Rule of Three|third daughter]].}}

** It's also the closest they have to [[The Waterboy|a]] [[Little Nicky|third]] Henry Winkler appearance in Sandler's movies.

*** Actually, Henry Winkler already appears in [[Rule of Three|three]] of Adam's movies: [[The Waterboy]], [[Little Nicky]], AND [[Click]].

**** Actually, four.YouDontMessWithTheZohan.

** Turns out Jamie Chung will play another character named Amber in [[Sucker Punch]].

* [[Amusing Injuries]]: A game of "arrow roulette", where the five compete to be the last to avoid a falling arrow, ends when it goes into Rob's foot. This goes [[Up to Eleven]] later with {{spoiler|Steve Buscemi, who gets stuck on a zipline and crashes into a hut... and ''later'' [[Brick Joke|"wins" another round of "arrow roulette"]].}}

** Noticeably averted with Eric and the tree-rope. {{spoiler|It helps that a pigeon broke his fall.}}

* [[Butt Monkey]]: Rob. {{spoiler|Steve Buscemi is this for the [[Jerk Jock]] posse.}}

* [[But You Screw One Goat!]]: {{spoiler|Marcus waking up in the closet ''with Eric's dog''. After bragging that he spend the night with a "short blonde."}}

* [[Catch Phrase]]: the buzzer noise (he's even called Coach Buzzer) is treated like this in-universe.

* [[Cheerful Child]]: Eric's son. {{spoiler|How could you not breastfeed him...}}

* [[Groin Attack]]: Rob lets Marcus have one of these when he believed Marcus had sex with one of his two hot daughters. Then does it again when the other daughter is dragged into it.

** [[Crosses the Line Twice|With the same injured foot, even.]]

* [[Honor Before Reason]]: why the five accept the [[Jerk Jock]] posse's challenge, even with Rob's foot injury.

* [[Hot Mom]]: [[Rule of Three|Three of 'em too.]]

* [[Likes Older Women]]: Rob, [[Up to Eleven]]. Lampshaded by his first daughter, who's broken off with an older man herself.

{{quote|"I wish I could like guys my own age, but it turns out I've been chasing down the dad who ran out on me."}}

* [[Never Heard That One Before]]: {{spoiler|Steve Buscemi, despite being put in the body cast after the midpoint of the movie. [[Rule of Three|The third jibe from Marcus]] is new to him, though.}}

* [[One-Scene Wonder]]: {{spoiler|Steve Buscemi. Well, three scenes actually.}}

* [[Overly Long Gag]]: Oh so many.

* [[Parental Abandonment]]: Rob is rather distanced from his two hot daughters from previous marriages (but learns to go [[Papa Wolf]] later on).

{{quote|"The first twenty years of a child's life are more important than I thought..."}}

* [[Rule of Three]]: There's a very good reason the movie posters only show three wives to five guys.

** Lenny and Rob both have three kids each. Kurt and Eric have two, but a mother-in-law and a dog make up the number.
