The movie opens with an errant moose peeing on Lenny’s face while he’s asleep in bed, and it closes with a burpsnart. Events then just tumble along as the film progresses, every one of the plentiful characters getting a few moments of screen time. In Grown Ups 2 Adam Sandler is back with a familiar cast of characters featuring: Kevin James, David Spade, and Chris Rock. Picking up some time after the holiday reunion of old high school pals which took place in the first film, Hollywood agent Lenny (Sandler) has moved back to his sleepy hometown with his wife (Hayek) and kids in order to improve their quality of life.
