The Grown Ups Collection is a delightful duo of comedies that will surely bring a hearty laugh to viewers of all ages. The first installment, "Grown Ups," was released in 2010, paying tribute to friendship and the trials and tribulations of growing up. This film was helmed by director Dennis Dugan and written by the multitalented Adam Sandler, who not only created the script but also took up a leading role alongside Kevin James, Chris Rock, David Spade, and Rob Schneider.
"Grown Ups" is a production of Sandler's very own Happy Madison Productions and was distributed by Columbia Pictures. Besides the fantastic ensemble cast, the movie saw the inclusion of other Saturday Night Live alumni, such as Colin Quinn, Maya Rudolph, Tim Meadows, and Norm Macdonald. Their comedic timing, combined with the nostalgia of their SNL years, added a special touch to the film, making it all the more engaging for the audience.
Following the success of the original, "Grown Ups 2" hit the screens in 2013 as a sequel to the hilarious exploits of this group of friends. The sequel promised even more side-splitting humor, with the original cast reprising their roles and taking viewers on yet another enjoyable adventure of maturity, camaraderie, and laughter.
