Critics are decidedly unimpressed with the Adam Sandler coming-of-age flick Grown Ups, despite (or maybe because of) help from Chris Rock, David Spade, Kevin James, and Rob Schneider.
- Kyle Smith, New York Post: When Sandler "repeatedly slapped Rob Schneider in the face with a dehydrated banana, I was jealous of Schneider, who suffered less than I did getting slapped upside the head by this rotting fruit of a comedy."
- Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer: The flick "drifts along on a stream of humiliation jokes—physical, emotional, sexual, hairpiece-ial."
