Entertainment : \'Grown Ups\' at the Palace

Adam Sandler, Kevin James, Chris Rock, David Spade, Rob Schneider, Maria Bello, Salma Hayek and Steve Buscemi laugh up the Palace silver screen, in $2 2D, Friday, July 30 through Thursday, August 5 at 7 p.m. nightly and Monday, August 2 at 2 p.m.

“Grown Ups,” rated PG-13 for crude material including suggestive references, language and some male rear nudity (and trust me this won’t be good male rear nudity), runs 102 minutes.

The storyline: Five kids who played middle school basketball gather to mourn their beloved coach, recently deceased. They meet at a cabin, on a lake where they celebrated their victory all those years ago, running into the five kids from the team they beat.

This movie is garnering decent ratings from patrons. People like to laugh. A friend of mine saw “Grown Ups” on vacation and said she laughed throughout. “It’s one of those movies that you can’t help but laugh at, and then are immediately embarrassed that you laughed at something so ridiculously infantile.”

Sounds like a great way to spend an hour and a half.
