''Grown Ups'' is a 2010 American comedy film starring Creator/AdamSandler, Creator/KevinJames, Creator/ChrisRock, Creator/DavidSpade and Creator/RobSchneider. A reunion/vehical of sorts for the "Bad Boys of SNL,"[[note]]Bar James, the above-listed actors were famous in the early 90s for introducing a then-fresh brand of crass, sophomoric humor to ''Saturday Night Live'', saving the show from a brief slub in the 80s. James's role was originally intended for fellow "Bad Boy" Creator/ChrisFarley, but the film fell into DevelopmentHell when Farley died in 1997.[[/note]] the film also stars fellow 90s ''Series/SaturdayNightLive'' alums Tim Meadows and Norm [=MacDonald=], as well as future ''SNL'' stars Colin Quinn and Creator/MayaRudolph. Sandler and Fred Wolf wrote the script and Dennis Dugan directed. The film was produced by Sandler's production company Creator/HappyMadisonProductions and was distributed by Columbia Pictures.

Thirty years after graduating from high school, five former basketball teammates Lenny Feder (Sandler), Eric Lamonsoff (James), Kurt [=McKenzie=] (Rock), Marcus Higgins (Spade) and Rob Hilliard (Schneider) 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.

A sequel was released in July 2013, where only Sandler, James, Rock and Spade returned (Schneider was unable to reprise his role due to scheduling conflicts and his wife was pregnant during production). It kicked off the ''Podcast/TheWorstIdeaOfAllTime'' podcast by the New Zealand comedians Guy Montgomery and Tim Batt, who took on the challenge of watching the movie and reviewing it once a week for a year.

Not to be confused with [[Series/FamilyMatters Jaleel White]]'s short-lived UPN show.

* AmusingInjuries: 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 UpToEleven later with [[spoiler:Wiley, who gets stuck on a zipline and crashes into a hut... and ''later'' [[BrickJoke "wins" another round of "arrow roulette"]].]]

* LikesOlderWomen: Rob, UpToEleven. Lampshaded by his first daughter Jasmine, who's broken off with an older man herself.

** Clean versions also exist of Dickie Bailey trying to fix the ice cream machine, with less focus on [[NotWhatItLooksLike the chocolate ice cream coming out]]; Greg and Andre ditching the beer on the ground 'subtly'; Marcus [[VomitDiscretionShot vomiting after the ride from the tire]]; and members of the Kappa Eta Sigma fraternity chucking a beer to Wiley, but omitting Andre lying about being wasted.
