Trailer: Adam Sandler and Chris Rock in Grown Ups
Simon Brew
The trailer for one of the summer’s big comedies, Grown Ups, fails to generate a single solid laugh…
Published on Feb 15, 2010
On the surface, Grown Ups has a lot of promise. Its casts of comedy talent features Adam Sandler, Chris Rock, Kevin James, Rob Schneider and David James, and those faces alone should generate a fair number of laughs.
So why is the trailer for the film so brutally unfunny? Assuming the rule of the modern comedy, that all the good jokes are packed into the promo, this doesn't bode well at all for the finished product. We're looking forward to being proved wrong, but surely we should have got at least one solid chuckle out of this. See if you fare any better...
The film arrives on 25th June in the US, with the UK release now confirmed as 6th August.

What do you expect? It has Kevin James, David Spade and Rob Schneider in it. Some of the unfunniest men in comedy.

I can’t believe just how shit this trailer is! But if they were going for a comedy about being childish then they nailed it - Let laugh at old people, fat people, people hurting themselves (lots) and Canadians!

What is Salma Hayek doing in this? One of the very worst trailers I've seen in a long, long time. Well done for hunting it down Simon.

My, doesn't this look terrible?
Adam Sandler, why did you sign up for this?!
I watched "Funny People" last night and you were quite good in it!
Did the old footage of you inspire you to be in something about growing up, and looking back on your past?
How, people of Earth, does Rob "THAT IS NOT FERGIE!" Schneider keep getting work?!

I really thought Sandler was going to start being as good as I think he could be, but I guess you have to pay the bills somehow. This just looks terrible.
