Um......Oh dear.

On the way home from work, I spotted a billboard for a new movie. Well, actually, all I saw at first were these names:

Adam Sandler
David Spade
Kevin James
Chris Rock
Rob Schneider

:justwoke:

I'm sure that line-up appeals to some people, but, personally, I can't think of a worse movie experience than sitting in a theatre watching those 5 do their thing. Kevin James I could probably watch.....I like him. But, surrounded by 4 of my least favorite actors.......holy moly! All in one movie!

JMO, mind you, but I wonder how this movie's going to do. It's called Grown Ups :confused: Really? :P

The trailer looks dreadful.

During past brutal heatwaves, my old college roomate used to refer to the weather as "Adam Sandler hot" - meaning that it was so hot you would actually consider going to an Adam Sandler movie just for the air conditioning.

LMAO! Yup. That's pretty much the way I feel. :grin:

I saw a trailer for it last night - ew.

I'm sure somebody in some Hollywood talk session said, "Hey! What if we got these guys together for a really fun summer flick!? Wouldn't that be brilliant?!"

I thought Sandler had a clause in his contracts that Schneider has to be in everything he makes.

Spade is the type of guy I can take as a supporting character in a sitcom but no more than that.

James I only like because he's a Mets fan. Never bought the fat slob and the sexy young thing with his show.

And Chris Rock I like, but not with any of those guys.

Doesn't it seem like comedies for the last couple of years are made mostly by one of 2 groups with maybe a sub group?, Adam Sandler and his SNL buddies, Judd Apatow's guys (Seth Rogen, Russell Brand, Jason Segel) which sometimes taps into the Reno 911 folks.

Have you ever seen his real wife? She's actually hotter than Leah Remini. Hard to believe, but true.

I like Chris Rock and Kevin James both a lot. I like Adam Sandler in about half his things, but not his early stuff. I agree with you exactly on David Spade.

Mr. and Mrs. Kevin James (she is the model Steffania de la Cruz):

And while we're at it, how about Mr. and Mrs. Ralphie May (standup comic)..couldn't find one of them together but she's also a comic named Lahna Turner:

But in real life he's a muti-millionaire, on the show he's a fat slub who barely makes ends meet.

I know lots of well off ugly and/or fat guys who got sexy women when they had the drugs and money, then when they were no longer giving away cocaine and/or money they honestly didn't understand where the women went.

In the case of Ralphie May, he was an unknown struggling on the club circuit when he met Lahna, who was on a similar career track. His career took off after they got together, mainly off his success on Last Comic Standing.

It will no doubt make gazillions of dollars.

Good point. I worked in a nursery with a legally blind midget who was insanely ugly, had to wear coke-bottle glasses, and walked like Frankenstein. His wife was model material. He had gotten her a green card, but after they'd been married long enough for her to divorce him and still get to stay, she actually stayed with him. We were all surprised. Years later they split. Apparently he was in cahoots with a couple of the hondurans who worked on the farm - they had some sort of drug related side business. One of them got arrested for stabbing someone and all but one of them were deported. I think the guy who got to stay was actually from Nicaragua and had nothing to do with the drug traffiking.

I was watching that Joan River's show "How did you get so rich" and they did a segment on the guy who owns Treasure Island in Vegas. He's about 100 years old with a potbelly and a bad combover, his wife is a 20 something tall model with a accent....
Yea, I'm sure it's love
