![]() (Actually, April Rose is billed as “Hot Dance Teacher.”) At a lakeside end-of-semester beer bash, ripped frat boys, led by the unbilled Taylor Lautner, go all “Porky’s” on our good-buddy heroes – Adam Sandler’s Lenny Feder, Kevin James’ Eric Lamonsoff, Chris Rock’s Kurt McKenzie and David Spade’s Marcus Higgins – and force them to leap nude off a 35-foot rock. Husbands ogle their daughters’ sexy dance teacher. Wives salivate over their buff exercise instructor. (He takes one out and eats it.) Bouncy cheerleaders in midriff-baring costumes put on a community car wash. Kids stuff cheese curls up a drugged-out, semi-conscious school bus driver’s nose. Gas or fluid spouts from every available orifice, starting with a gag about a urinating deer and ending with a running joke about a “burp-snart” (you’ll just have to use your imagination). The movie is flush with selections from the PG-13 “family comedy” menu. Here it’s still safe to prank or be pranked – even if you’re a cop – and everybody knows your name except for obnoxious college kids who look down on townies. Excretory products fuel the humor and jiggle shots supply the titillation for an hour and half in a cozy New England suburb where ordinary guys and gals lead the life of Riley. “Grown Ups 2” delivers exactly what it’s been advertising in trailers and on talk shows: grubby low-comic escapism.
