There are a few Adam Sandler movies of recent memory that I actually enjoyed. I tend to gravitate toward anything he does that has him working in a dramatic role, or as close as he gets to one, and really enjoyed Grown Ups as an entertaining film. It’s not perfect, but you know what you’re getting when you buy a ticket for one of his movies anyway. Today we learn that his highest grossing film, Grown Ups, may get a sequel in the near future.

Sony Pictures and Happy Madison Prods. are in talks with “Grown Ups” scribe Fred Wolf to write a sequel to last year’s Adam Sandler comedy, the funnyman’s highest-grossing film worldwide at $271 million.
Sandler has never appeared in a sequel and he has no deal in place for “Grown Ups 2,” as his involvement is contingent on the script. Still, the fact that Sandler would be open to a reunion likely comes as music to Sony’s ears. Happy Madison had no comment.
I liked the movie, probably more than most, but I just don’t see why the movie needs a sequel. I’m up for just about any excuse to get these SNL alum’s together in a film but Grown Ups really seemed like it was complete for what it was. I’m not sure what excuse they’ll use to reunite the cast this time but I am open to the idea if they’re able to really hammer out a good script. I’ll keep you guys posted…
