I just saw it.

Not only it's the worst Sandler movie,it's so bad you can now proof to his fans why:
1)The concept of "good comedy" is very subjective because we all have different taste in humour.But here,even if you find it funny,you can't deny the jokes are predictable(specially when Steve Buscemi tries that stunt at the waterpark)and we've seen them all.And if that doesn't work,point out that there's not one but two rape jokes.
2)The scripts always come with flaws.But here,the plot is virtually non-existent(what the f*ck is this movie about?!).Everytime there's about to be a dramatic moment,it gets solved before it even starts,so the movie lacks any real conflict.
3)I get why people think he's funny.But here,he has a straight face the whole movie(except a scene where they run in panic and he has the most stupid face you can imagine).At least in other movies he tries every 20 minutes or so.By the way,how was he not nominated but Schnider was when he was average?James,Rock and Spade do their usual things,and they're passable.

Also,during the last part,the messages arrive,but they don't make sense at all.

I give this 1/10.

In this day and age of remakes/reboots/sequels and other half-assed jobs Hollywood is making, if an okay/kinda good/or so-so movie comes along, people act like it's the second coming of "Gone With The Wind". Others just want to be entertained, and the people you listed are the ones that are easily entertained by Sandler and his stupidity.

No, I'm not defending Grown-Ups. Perhaps I should've put it into context for you more clearly; See, here's the problem: Little Nicky, I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry, and You Don't Mess With the Zohan were all on my Worst-of lists for their respective years. It turns out I'm the ONE person in my high school or college who doesn't like those three movies. Everyone just keeps praising it whenever I show them my Worst-of lists. It turns out that they'll just eat up anything if it stars Adam Sandler. Then comes Grown-Ups, which I MUST expect will get nominated for Worst Picture. It was bad enough my colleagues raved about Zohan, Chuck & Larry, and Nicky, but if they show the same love for Grown-Ups, I'm going to question their integrity. I cannot just stand by and let them eat this one up; I must think of a way to treat the problem!

Yeah, that's probably why Sandler's company is called "Happy Madison". There are many days when I wish he did start his career with "Big Daddy" and "Little Nicky", then his career might have gone the way of Pauly Shore's ... considering they are of equal talent: none!

Ya know what? Sandler's most memorable movies are Billy Madison, and Happy Gilmore. Trying to act? No. He reinvented stupid comedy. Then he started trying to get serious about everything. And it all went downhill. Even as his movies have made more (and then less) money, nothing has ever had the impact of those first couple of movies. Those are the movies that a generation can go back and quote for the rest of their lives. 
Now, they weren't "good" movies... plenty of plot, character, etc. to infinity complaints... but those movies are why we know who Adam Sandler is. If he'd started with... Big Daddy and Little Nicky and all of that crap, he'd have never broken out.

Fair enough. But given that he owns the studio, and he almost exclusively works with his friends in his comedies, he is just having fun. That doesn't pardon him for making bad movies, but it isn't as bad as giving up integrity for a paycheck.
 
I'll admit that Bedtime Stories was a shameless cash grab though.
