Sandler, Spade, & Rock attempt to be 'Grown Ups' (trailer included)

 

Adam Sandler is packing more firepower in his next movie, due to open in late June next summer, titled Grown Ups.  Instead of just having one of his many funny friends, he brings the whole gang which includes Chris Rock, David Spade, Kevin James, Rob Schneider and of course Norm MacDonald.  If that wasn't enough, we're even going to have Saturday Night Live alumnus in Colin Quinn and Tim Meadows.  Now if for some crazy reason that wasn't enough, then how about adding Maria Bello and Salma Hayek?  No, still need more.  Well, here's the clincher....Gary Busey!

Yep, this one on paper is something to behold already.  One would have to bet that Kevin Nealon may show up somewhere as well.  Besides the great line-up, can this movie match up to an audience's expectations?  With this cast, the flick, which is co-wrote by Sandler, better be gut-wrenching funny.  To set the bar, it needs to top such movies like this year's Couples Retreat.  Another film that had a great cast on paper, but should have tickled the funny bone a bit more.  Sandler's track record shows that he can find the funny, but loves to get deep and emotional.  Adam, we get it, you don't want to be remembered as "Billy Madison" or "Happy Gilmore."  At least give us Big Daddy instead of Funny People or Click with this one.  Check the newly released trailer below.
