Grown Ups Boys will be boys... some longer than others.The unfortunate passing of their high school basketball coach means that five old friends and teammates re-unite after 30 long years. They bonded together in victory all those years ago, and now their back to mourn, but they soon realize that they’ve possibly grown up too fast. Once they’ve got the band back together they turn back into their former selves.A fourth of July weekend usually means joy and happiness, as well as independence, but none of these men wish to be fully independent, they don’t want to be... ‘Grown Up’, their lives of adulthood, fatherhood and business takes a back seat for the weekend and they can’t help but have fun. Big Daddy Thirty-two-year-old Sonny Koufax (Adam Sandler) has spent his whole life avoiding responsibility. But when his girlfriend dumps him for an older man, he's got to find a way to prove he's ready to grow up. In a desperate last-ditch effort, Sonny adopts five-year-old Julian (Cole Sprouse, Dylan Sprouse) to impress her. She's not impressed...and he can't return the kid. Oh-oh for Sonny! Role Models Unconventional salesmen, stuck-in-a-rut Danny (Paul Rudd) and lady’s man Wheeler (Seann William Scott), spend their days promoting Minotaur energy drink to school students. Full of self-loathing and driven to delirium after being dumped by girlfriend Beth (Elizabeth Banks), Danny lashes out on an energy drink bender, trashing both the company truck and school property, resulting in the arrest of both him and Wheeler. Wheeler and Danny are faced with a choice; either do time in jail or clock one hundred and fifty hours as mentors for troubled children. These unlikely role models are assigned to the most difficult children on offer, making them contemplate jail as an easier option! Danny is paired with dorky role playing loner, Augie (Superbad’s Mclovin’ Christopher Mintz-Plasse), whilst Wheeler is the latest victim of booby obsessed, foul-mouthed Ronnie (Bobb’e J. Thompson). Let the fun begin! [show more]

Triple bill of comedies centred around the inevitable chaos that results when commitment-shy men find themselves tasked with looking after children. 'Grown Ups' (2010) focuses on the reunion of five former school friends and their families at a lakeside house. Lenny (Adam Sandler), Eric (Kevin James), Kurt (Chris Rock), Marcus (David Spade) and Rob (Rob Schneider) were part of a basketball team that won a famous championship victory almost 30 years ago. As they bond anew and try to educate their kids on the way the world was back then, the friends come to realise that just because they have grown older doesn't necessarily mean that they have to grow up. In 'Big Daddy' (1999) Adam Sandler takes on the role of Sonny Koufax, a thirty-two-year-old loser who refuses to take responsibility for his life and spends his days watching television in his pyjamas. The day after his girlfriend Vanessa (Kristy Swanson) dumps him, five-year-old Julian (Cole and Dylan Sprouse) arrives at his house, claiming to be the son of his recently departed flatmate. Hoping to convince Vanessa of his readiness for responsibility, Sonny makes the rash decision to adopt Julian, only to discover that there is more to parenting than meets the eye. 'Role Models' (2008) follows the fate of Wheeler (Seann William Scott) and Danny (Paul Rudd), two fast-living energy drink salesmen who sample a few too many of their products and end up crashing one of the company trucks. Hauled before a judge, the two friends have to decide between opting for jail time or becoming mentors to some troubled kids. They soon wish they'd plumped for the former as the kids give them the run-around and the director of the centre, Gayle Sweeny (Jane Lynch), explains what they're doing wrong: to set an example to the kids they first have to grow up themselves.
