Grown Ups sequel in early stages of being slapped together
Grown Ups, Adam Sandler’s philosophical exploration of aging and its effect on the strengths of friendship and farts, is currently being considered for a sequel, Variety reports. Technically, Grown Ups 2: We’ve Chocolate Wasted Our Lives would be the first sequel for Sandler, who generally likes to invent fresh scenarios to interpret his work’s most common themes, i.e. the celebration of innocence, unapologetic honesty about ethnicity, Kevin James fatty fatty fat fat, etc. But apparently, Grown Ups’ particular conceit of a group of childhood friends reconvening, reverting to adolescent behavior, and laughing at mortality as mortality slips and falls on its testicles proved too fertile not to revisit. Also, no one is just going to pay Sandler and his friends several million dollars to go on vacation, so they have to make a movie.
