**THIS FAN EDIT IS NOW COMPLETED AND RELEASED**
Hey guys,
Just recently watched Grown Ups 2, and I have to say, as a person who really enjoyed Grown Ups, it was a complete let down in terms of overall story, new characters and plot flow. I felt as if several plot points introduced early in the film were left unanswered, giving it a dis-jointed, incomplete feel.
Nick Swardson was ridiculous, and to see him in every shot in this film makes him feel more and more like the Jar Jar Binks of Grown Ups.
I watched Grown Ups 1 & 2 back-to-back and came up with the idea of editing GU2 to bring it closer to the feeling of the first.
One of the main changes I made was eliminate 90% of Nick Swardson's scenes, leaving intact a few shots to explain his nagging presence. All the 'WHAAAAT's are gone, Tim Meadows' balding and unfunny Urkel looking son 'Bumpty' has been cut down as much as possible as well.
The Burp-Snart 'running gag' is cut out, and so are alot of unnecessary and unfunny sequences that I found over-the-top and quite lame.
I have added one Deleted Scene, and I plan to include more. I've also added Van Halen's 'Summer Nights' to the intro and Bob Welch's 'Sentimental Lady' to the outro, to link the two movies more closely.
*New Details:
In short, here is a general list of scenes/shots edited from the movie:
1. Van Halen's 'Summer Nights' intro after 'Happy Madison'.
2. Deer running round the Feder house hold trimmed. No shower masterbating, no deer eating dog food, no unnecessarily prolonged deer pissing into Adam Sandler's face. Fat mailman dialogue cut. No Salma Hayek bra jokes.
3. Chris Rock's unfunny Nicki Minaj joke cut. Ronnie's ass dance trimmed.
4. Adam Sandler's deer reference cut from conversation about Craig asking his crush out.
5. Nick Swardson's painful intro scene trimmed because it could not be removed.
6. Lame Adam Sandler bus-driver line cut, Swardson snoring and eating cheetos while asleep is cut.
7. Ronnie's second ass dance is cut.
8. Adam and Rock playing Swardson like a puppet in the bus driver's seat cut.
9. Jon Lovitz's pervy yoga scene COMPLETELY cut. He doesn't appear in this cut.
10. Muscular lady's jock-strap joke cut.
11. Swardson's painfully unfunny Kmart sequences completely cut.
12. Tim Meadows' 'Whaaat' reduced to the first time, jokes re-arranged. Rock choking Meadows cut.
13. Bumpty asking Rock's daughter out is trimmed. Ass showing trainer dude climbing a rope cut.
14. Kmart parking lot trimmed. No Burp-snarts. No police escorts. Ice-cream-pooping largely trimmed.
15. Higgins-tire sequence. Swardson gone again. Sandler breaking Keithie's leg trimmed. No 'Dont tell your motherrrrrr'.
16. Higgins trying to delay officers leaving his house Deleted Extended scene inserted.
17. Bumpty's 'whaaaat's all gone. No more 'Whaaaat' running gags. No Bumpty freestyling on his date.
18. Higgins making out with the Muscular lady's biceps largely trimmed. Lamensoff and Bean watching it also largely trimmed.
19. Swardon's Boy George/gay conversation with Fitness trainer left in, but cut after 'God he's HOT!'
20. Steve Buscemi's lame hip-hop slang lines removed.
21. Steve Austin and Sandler stage a confrontation. Sandler's unfunny 'pretend' provocation largely cut down.
22. Ronnie's 'biting' running gag is completely cut.
23. Lots of other minor cuts and changes.
What do you guys think?
