Is JACKASS 3 in 3D Arriving in 2010?First Trailer for GROWN UPS Starring Adam Sandler, Kevin James, and Chris Rock

You know that Adam Sandler, Kevin James, and Chris Rock are good guys because they let their friends Rob Schneider and David Spade share the spotlight despite the complete lack of talent or star power from those two. But we can enjoy another safe, middle-of-the-road comedy from comedians who lost all desire for subversive and challenging humor in their movies (although to be fair, Rock excels when performing his own material). I’m sure it will be successful at the box office, but I’ll be spending time on films I find funny rather than those that make me wistful for a time when Sandler was willing to be madcap enough to set Bradley Whitford on fire in one scene and have him perfectly fine in the next.
Hit the jump to see the trailer along with a brief synopsis.
Five friends and former teammates reunite years later to honor the passing of their childhood basketball coach. With their wives and kids in tow, they spend the Fourth of July holiday weekend together at the lake house where they celebrated their championship years earlier. Picking up where they left off, they discover why growing older doesn’t mean growing up.
I like who David Spade is…I really do, most of his movies post Chris Farley suck, except for Joe Dirt.
I wouldn’t say he is a bad actor, I think he is in a slump though and one day will make that Great movie that brings him back.
I like how Chris Rock has no lines whatsoever. I guess all the white people always take it. LOL!!
I wonder why they even put Chris Rock in this movie. The token Black Man? Hmmmmm….
Chris Rock is a tool. Other than that movie Down to Earth everything else he has done sucked.
Chris Rock a tool? Only one of the best 5 stand up comedians of his generation! If you can do better I would like to see it …
