I think the funniest thing to do in that situation would be to tell him nothing, because there've been some real moments of psychological, almost philosophical pain for me watching.ĭo you wonder what you could have achieved if you had put your time and efforts into a more useful activity?
Montgomery: I would say, "Guy, before you do this, what do you really think about Tim Batt? Because you are going to spend a lot of time with this guy in a really weird way."īatt: I don't think I'd tell him anything. If you could go back and talk to yourselves before you first saw Grown Ups 2, what would you say?
Montgomery: I don't envision anyone breaking this world record that we've set. Montgomery: That feels fucking fantastic, Dan Ozzi!īatt: I feel so honored to be one half of the world record–breaking people.
#Watch grown ups 2 movie#
How does it feel to know you've seen this movie more than anyone involved in making it probably did? Every occasional watch, the whole concept and project come crashing down, and you're like, "What the fuck are we doing?" Montgomery: It certainly gives us access to insanity and flashes of it. On the podcast, you've often expressed concern about going legitimately insane. We maintained character for an hour and then I just snapped. We've been doing this weird roleplaying where we are the film producers. I'll fluctuate wildly between watching a joke they've written, and five minutes later, I'll be in the pits of despair. Montgomery: It's given me quite intense mood swings. I've seen it too many times, and my mind simply can't take it, so I look at the peripheral. Even if I try now, I can't look at the main action. I'm looking at extras, I'm looking at a product that's been placed on the table. I can't draw my attention to what the filmmakers designed me to be looking at. What effect does watching the same movie 52 times have on your brain?īatt: The first effect I've noticed recently is that I find it impossible to watch what is in the focus of the shot now. Would watching the characters' origin story help you appreciate the sequel?īatt: I posited to Guy that maybe Grown Ups 2 is the funniest movie ever made but it's all callbacks to the original-though I don't think that's all that likely. Guy Montgomery: We thought, Well, if we're gonna do a movie that shouldn't have been made, wouldn't it make more sense to do a sequel to that movie? So many funny people are in it, but it wasn't very well received. Then we thought of the Grown Ups movie because it's such a weird movie. I briefly toyed with the idea of The Room, but that's so bad that it's enjoyable. One of the ones we floated originally was Con Air, but we decided it was too good. We thought of the concept first-of the ludicrousness of watching a single movie and reviewing it over and over again-and then decided on what the movie would be. I recently caught up with Montgomery and Batt to discuss why two people would voluntarily watch an Adam Sandler movie 52 times.

But over the last few months, they learned to hate the movie, while also losing their minds. When the duo started the project a year ago, they shared a healthy but reasonable dislike for the critically panned movie.
