Chicago Sunday Times Roger Ebert Grown Ups is a pleasant, genial, good-hearted, sometimes icky comedy that's like spending a weekend with well-meaning people you don't want to see again any time real soon. | 10 | |
eye Weekly Hilary Caton Sandler, who co-wrote the film, mixes in the right amount of adult humour and childish comedy that, while it could be summed up as a ''boys will be boys'' tale, also shows he’s come a long way since The Water Boy. | 15 | |
ScreenIt C. Fuchs Arguably the laziest and lamest comedy to come down the pike in some time | 4 | |

Rottentomatoes tomatometer Tomatometer Grown Ups' cast of comedy vets is amiable, but they're let down by flat direction and the scattershot, lowbrow humor of a stunted script. | 2 | |
