What the flying donkey fuck. Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine this was that awful, and I thought it looked pretty awful to begin with. Although I must admit, I'm curious to see if Rorie retracts that statement after seeing Jack & Jill, as that did look really bad too

Please more hateful, bad-movie reviews. Please.

This is a fine way to close out this chapter of Whiskey Media... hating on something that deserves it.

Haven't watched a Sandler flick since this. Glad I got out before Jack and Jill.

Fuck me, I would have never guessed so many people defending this terrible, terrible movie. It is bad, but really, it isn't Old Dogs.

One of the worst movies ever by far and it's a good thing that I never fucking saw it. If I had to choose between watching Grown Ups and eating all the contents of a Durian Friut, I'd go for the Durian Fruit because that's less horrible.

EDIT: Tried to link to the AV Club's definition of a Durian, but it never came through. I better report that...

Whilst a compelling and well-thought out argument regarding the intrinsic awefullness of Grown Ups this article is, I still believe the Love Guru so much worse. I watched about five minutes of that piece of shit and gave up not long after Mike Myers said in his comedy indian accent "is it because i am number two". Christ, before I saw the Love Guru my worst movie was The Piano (Holly Hunter and Harvey Keital's arses... on screen at same time), but the Love Guru took the biscuit, crapped on it then hid it back inside the packet

Worst movie of the decade? Please, I've seen much worse....MUCH worse. This movie is average compared to those.

Now I'm not saying its good by any stretch of the imagination, but saying its the worst or insinuating that there's not so much as one laughable scene in its entirety(or scene that you deem as fit for laughing at), I think you just went into this movie expecting far to much....especially from Adam Sandler.

He didn't mean literal worst movie of the decade. I'm sure theres some barely seen indie movie that is worse. He is saying worst high profile, high grossing movie.

Vampires Suck begs to differ on that. So does anything else Seltzer and Friedberg have had their prints on for that matter.

There is a scene where all the guys are cracking jokes on each other while lounging in lawn chairs. I believe they just went off script and decided their unfunny jokes were worthy to put in the movie. This movie is horrible, and one of the worst films ever made.

Holy crap a lot of hyperbole in the comment section. Worst film ever and i disown my friends and family for liking it.

If you think this is the worst film ever then 1. you should get to the theaters more and 2. See Pootie Tang as soon as possible. That will desensities you to all bad movies from now until death.

So people have a difference of opinion BFD.

I thought the movie was stupid harmless fun.

You know what's even worse than Adam Sandler movies? Adam Sandler and his buddies whoring themselves out for weeks before the movie opens, imposing themselves into every single cultural event for a few minutes of hype. You can't watch a game, you can't watch a talk show, you can't even watch the news without that crew showing up and being painfully unfunny.

Damnit, Adam Sandler! I don't impose myself onto your shitty moves! Stay out of my life!

That was exactly my reaction to this movie, that it felt like it was totally free from a plot and they made it up as they went along using lazy, overused jokes.

I do actually like Adam Sandler movies, they are good for a Sunday afternoon chill-out, but this one is a real stinker.

Yep, an okay movie. To each their own.
