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.}}

* [[Berserk Button]]: Do not touch <s>either</s> any of Rob's daughters.

* [[Break the Cutie]]: Roxanne accidentally revealing to her daughter {{spoiler|there is no Tooth Fairy}}.

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

* [[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...}}

* [[Chivalrous Pervert]]: Marcus.

* [[The Danza]]: Rob Schneider as Rob Hillard.

* [[The Fashionista]]: Lenny's wife

* [[Fetish Fuel]]: Jasmine and Amber Hillard. Also, them and the wives wearing cheerleader outfits.

** Lampshaded in-universe, about Eric's wife {{spoiler|still lactating.}}

** [[The Hero]]: Lenny

** [[The Lancer]]: Marcus

* [[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.]]

* [[Kavorka Man]]: Marcus. The others may count as well, but Marcus stands out the most, because he is a ladies' man

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

* [[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.}}

* [[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).

* [[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.

* [[Those Two Guys]]: Amusingly, Lenny's son Greg forms this with Kurt's son.

* [[Tin Can You Hear Me Now]]

* [[Urine Trouble]]: Actually played straight with Eric.

* [[Volleying Insults]]: Any time the guys are together (except maybe Rob).
