I think im the only one in the movie that got/loved the Segal joke about HIMYM and Kevin Harts reaction

I'm not sure how...they practically beat you over the head with the joke; it was pretty obvious.

And skimming the first page of this thread, I don't get the BSB hate...I thought it was pretty funny. It's the randomness of BSB that makes it funny, and the dance scene is just an overly stupid (on purpose) way to end the movie, which fit perfectly IMO.

Sidenote: Idk about yall, but this movie had the worst preview lineup i have ever seen. It went something like: Machete 2, White House Down, The heat ( ) The To do list, (which on paper should be funny, but the previews are god awful) and Grownups 2.

Yeah, the previews were bad, although I will say it here first...Grown-Ups 2 actually looks pretty funny. I know lots of people hated the first one (it wasn't great at all, but I thought it was decent enough, and got unnecessary hate), and the second one may very well suck, but the trailer was pretty funny IMO.

I had a preview for Grown Ups 2 and The Heat. But I also got the trailer for the JGL directorial debut, Don Jon and that looked HILARIOUS.

because, at least for me, the randomness seemed way too forced.

Like Mike Tyson in the Hangover. lol soOoOo rAnDum!!!

that's how I view it.

you're telling me that this dude's first wish in heaven is to see the BSB reunite? aside from one of their songs playing earlier in the movie, we have no idea that Jay loves them.

imo, it would have been better had his wish been something that was sooooo unlikely to happen IRL that it HAD to only happen in heaven where you get ANYTHING you want. And it should have been something that a lot of the audience would want too. I don't think anyone sits around and thinks how awesome it would be if BSB got back together.

I mean, it would have been hundreds of other things that would have been funnier and more "random"

I enjoyed the first Grown Ups. Kinda made me feel like what me and my slap dick friends would look like in a few decades.


The other previews were horrid, though. White House Down looks like a fricking preview from Tropic Thunder and that movie about that flat chested chick's virginity looks like a pile of shite.
