I consider myself an Adam Sandler apologist. The man has made a lot of really funny movies. Yes, he's made his share of bad films. But even the worst ones are still enjoyable. There's something about the man that I find funny. I mean damn, I did a full-length podcast style commentary with g1orkatsos examining his filmography. Basically what I'm trying to say is that I enjoy Adam Sandler movies and I don't give a damn if you don't like him.
That being said... Grown-Ups 2 is a terrible movie. So many dumb, tedious jokes. It wasn't pleasant to watch. Thankfully the MWRK Cut is miles above the theatrical. (Well maybe like one or two miles above. He doesn't turn it into Shakespeare or anything.)
Gone are many nauseating running jokes and crude humor that falls flat. The stupidest characters are left (mostly) on the cutting room floor. What's left is all the funny stuff (and still a good amount of lame stuff).
The editing is excellent. Except for maybe one spot, I doubt you'd be able to tell anything had been cut. In fact, I was amazed how many one-liners were cut when I finished watching the edit and read over the cutlist.
BUT. This edit is recommended only if you're a fan of Sandler movies. If you hate him with a passion, don't waste your time watching this garbage.
