Critical consensus on Grown Ups 2 is overwhelmingly negative, with reviewers finding almost nothing to recommend. Critics widely condemned the film for lazy, low-quality writing, describing it as a string of tasteless, low-brow jokes with no comedic merit. Several reviewers noted that even Sandler's established fan base would struggle to enjoy the film, and one critic declared it a new benchmark for cinematic dreadfulness. The film was seen as a cynical, commercially driven exercise with no regard for quality of performance or storytelling.

    One ought to thank Sandler though, because thanks to this movie the dreadfulness of all future films will be measured on a scale of 1 to 'Grown Ups 2'

  5. The Navhind Times

    Film review ·

    While Adam Sandler has his own fan following him, chances are, even they won't be able to digest these proceedings easily. So, Grown Ups 2 is meant for anyone but grown ups and at 91 minutes this film is about 88 minutes too long.

  6. Hindustan Times

    Film review ·

    When it comes to scraping the bottom of the comedic barrel, Adam Sandler reigns supreme. Marking the eighth collaboration between the former Saturday Night Live entertainer and director Dennis Dugan, this sequel merely refashions the basic plot of the 2010 original.

  7. LiveMint

    Film review ·

    This film exists as Sandler's another jab at box-office success—which has absolutely nothing to do with the quality of writing or performance.
