I remember seeing the first Grown Ups film and not finding it very funny. I tried watching it again recently on TV and recorded part 2 as well. I still didn't find the first one funny and switched off after half an hour. I then decided to watch ten minutes of GU2 to see what it was like. Wow, I was in hysterics in the opening scene with the wild animal in Sandler's house. I stuck with it after that, and while there is almost no plot whatsoever there are some epic laugh out loud gags in this film. I can see why some people hate it because for long spells it feels like a bunch of unconnected scenes. However the final showdown / party is fantastic fun and makes a lot of earlier scenes make sense. On the whole this film made me laugh enough times to put me in a really good mood and for that I can forgive the lack of structure.
