What: “Grown Ups 2”

Cast: Adam Sandler, Kevin James, Chris Rock, David Spade and Salma Hayek

Writers: Fred Wolf, Adam Sandler and Tim Herlihy

Director: Dennis Dugan

The story: Lenny (Sandler) moves his family to the small hometown they visited in 2010’s “Grown Ups.”

The buzz: It may sound impossible, but early buzz has this outperforming Guillermo del Toro’s megabudget, monsters-vs.-robots “Pacific Rim” at this weekend’s box office. Then again, the trailers prominently feature Sandler getting peed on by a moose. And who doesn’t want to pay money to see that?
