The Grown Up series isn't Adam Sandler's career best, but like so many of its comedy films, Grown Up amplifies, beautifies, and culminates in Adam Sandler's Tell it from your own perspective.
Adam Sandler's comedy films in recent years tend to be more life-oriented. Like most life-oriented films, these comedy films infinitely magnify a certain part of life, and then add the director/star's own understanding of this part, and finally present A different life comedy.
It is not difficult to see that Adam Sandler's "Growing Up" series is a very typical example. Although it is not as imbued with fantasy and interesting elements as "Remote Control of Life", it is not like "Single Parent Resort", "First Love". 50 Times" focuses on telling a good story; on the contrary, "Growing Up" is more like "The Hangover" in Adam Sandler's own understanding, pure brotherhood orgy, plus, of course, Adam Sandler Deloitte's bad taste.
Many film critics will have negative comments on "Growing Up" and its sequels, but in fact, the results of the two works are not particularly ideal. The story of half a bucket of water, plus a little embarrassment and a little reluctance. Bad jokes and baggage, some people will complain about spending two hours watching a group of middle-aged men's self-inflation; for Adam Sandler fans, this is actually just Adam Sandler making trouble Play.
The "Growing Up" series is equivalent to Adam Sandler taking time out in his spare time to spend time with his good brothers and plan a weekend party for otaku, ordinary uncle, and outdated middle-aged people. This party At the same time, it was more than 20 years late. The wife and children intervened together, making the party finally become a "family party". On the surface, it was aimed at audiences of all ages, but in fact, the essence of the film was actually those who planned the party. middle-aged uncle.
The middle-aged uncle's private goods must have some content that he is proud of. The element of tall and young beauty is also indispensable in this series. This element represents the aesthetic sense of men as always and metaphors even mature men who have taken responsibility. There is still the salty and wet guy who is still playing in his heart; in addition to women, the topics between men must occupy a large part of those "how simple is the happiness of boys" type of content, crawled when I was a child The trees, the swings, and the ponds that Adam Sandler can arrange in his films, many audiences will inevitably feel a little embarrassed and boring in front of these contents that are not well expressed on the screen. And apparently in the eyes of boys, happiness comes as simply as that.
So that's why some fans have been supporting Adam Sandler, even if he's been doing some slapstick comedy, because there are a thousand Hamlets in a thousand people's eyes, and nine hundred people in a thousand people's eyes in Adam Sandler's films see boredom, while the remaining hundred see their childhood, their best friends, and their current state. These films may not be perfect in quality, but they bring Experience and impact can be quite different.
Therefore, the "Growing Up" series is such an existence. The first feeling after watching it may be indifferent, and there is no turbulence in the heart, but one day, when we grow up, we will recall this movie, think of our past, childhood , your own friends, buddies, maybe you will realize that this movie may not be as bad as you imagined.
