Critics pile on Sandler’s ‘Grown Ups’

Looks like movie critics didn’t get all the bile out of their systems via their “Sex and the City 2″ reviews.

The reviews for the Adam Sandler-led comedy “Grown Ups” are pouring in, and they aren’t pretty:

“It’s total garbage,” – Tom Long, Detroit News

“While there’s plenty of flatulence, the movie’s out of gas well before it’s over,” Matt Soergel, Florida Times-Union

“When Grown Ups star and co-writer Adam Sandler repeatedly slapped Rob Schneider in the face with a dehydrated banana, I was jealous of Schneider, who suffered less than I did getting slapped upside the head by this rotting fruit of a comedy,” Kyle Smith, The New York Post

It all adds up to an 8 percent “Fresh” rating over at rottentomatoes.com.
