We watched 2 films in 2 weeks featuring all-star cast in ther own genre. Most of the stars were once star of their own multi-million films / TV shows, and provided us with hours of entertainment over the years.
How did they fair? One bombed almost completely and one just about made it.
Grown ups featured Adam Sandler (who featured in some of my personal favourite comedies like Little Nicky, Waterboy, Click, Punch Drunk Love) and a crew which consisted of Kevin James, Chris Rock, David Spade, Rob Sneider (of course!), a (still) sizzling hot Salma Hayek and an aged Steve Buscemi at his classic pathetic best.
Well, a loose script with adult and family backbone and leaving each of the comedy heavy weights a free hand to churn out the jokes didn't quite work in the end. Even the couple of young hotties couldn't save one of the very few Adam Sandler bombs.
The Expendables - What can we say? Egos and testosterone galore!
Stallone, Statham, Jet Li, Dolph Lundgren, Mickey Rouke, Eric Roberts, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, Randy Couture.
Enjoy new action while shamelessly remember all the old ones they were in.
Arnie and Bruce Willies made it a Planet Hollywood reunion.
Notable absentees were Steven Seagal and Van Damme (but who cares?)
Giselle Itié alonemade it totally watchable.
They've stuck to what they know (well, Stallone did) - Rambo template of a plot.
Classic action movie. Leave your brains at home!
Even the style of custom choppers are dated =]
Love the "classic" patch too!
Not all grown ups are expendable just yet.
The comedians, unfortunately, were and the action guys, surprisingly, survived.
