So… Grown-Ups 2.
The family genre is where old comics go to die. It happened to Williams, Murphy, Martin, never Carlin (respect, that man soldiered on to his bitter, brilliant end). When they’re no longer hungry, when they’re happy and content with model wives and the perspective having kids brings about, comedians, ones in a position to do so, often coast. It’s how a biting comedian like Chris Rock ends up in a movie with comedy vacuum Kevin James.
Here’s Adam Sandler getting peed on in the face by a deer:

I believe Carlin was on Shining Time Station, no?
MARION. DON’T LOOK AT IT! SHUT YOUR EYES, MARION, DON’T LOOK AT IT NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS!
I think it’s high time we all readily admit we’re just a bunch of jealous assholes. Face it, if any one of us were given the chance to make a few million bucks while goofing off with our best friends and coupling up next to things like Hayek’s glorious boobs, we’d all dive in and not care one bit about what anyone else had to say.
That doesn’t mean the movies aren’t terrible? There are a lot of things I’d do for money and Selma Hayek’s boobs that people shouldn’t do.
Terrible is a differing view. Place yourself back in time (assuming you’re the same age as me) when Wayne’s World and Billy Madison and things of the sort came out. For our pre-teen/teenage selves those films were hilarious and we hold them dear. Guess what, though? Our parents hated them and wondered what happened to their comedy gems. It’s all a cycle. Now we’ve grown some, but the new batch of kids around now liked Grown Ups, and if one were to sincerely and objectively gauge Sandler’s career, Grown Ups is a better film than Billy Madison.
Its got those guys from SNL in it! Come on, that car wash scene has go to be funny.
