Storyline In 1978, five 12-year-olds win a CYO basketball championship. Thirty years later, they gather with their families for their coach's funeral and a weekend at a house on a lake where they used to party. By now, each is a grownup with problems and challenges: Marcus is alone and drinks too much. Rob, with three daughters he rarely sees, is always deeply in love until he turns on his next ex-wife. Eric is overweight and out of work. Kurt is a househusband, henpecked by wife and mother-in-law. Lenny is a successful Hollywood agent married to a fashion designer; their kids take privilege for granted. Can the outdoors help these grownups rediscover connections or is this chaos in the making?

Goofs:
Revealing mistakes:
When Robbie kicks Marcus in the groin after chasing him to the top of the boathouse, Robbie has a shoe on his right foot when he kicks Marcus. In the next shot, when Robbie grabs his left foot in pain, he is bare-footed. In the next shot where Robbie is on the ground still holding his left foot in pain, the shoe reappears on his right foot.
Quotes: Lenny Feder:
Roxanne, I have made out with about 25 girls in this very spot and I want you to be number 26. Roxanne Chase-Feder:
As long as I am the last.
User Review
Just another Adam Sandler film...
Rating: 10/10
There is nothing wrong about this film... there is nothing right about
it either. It's just another Adam Sandler feel-good movie, and if you
like these (I certainly do), you will like this movie too. If you hate
them for a lack of plot or the shallowness of the jokes, you won't. I
just know I laughed a numerous amount of times, and I felt good after
having watched it.
And no, I'm not a stupid guy; I like a good plot, good acting,
directing and well-thought-of puns as does the next guy. But there are
times when you feel like watching a complicated drama, and there are
times when you feel like watching a no-brainer.
This is definitely a no-brainer, which will make you feel good from
time to time. That's why Adam Sandler makes these movies, and that's
why they keep doing so well.
