Movies that feel likeGrown Ups 2 (2013)

Lenny has relocated his family back to the small town where he and his friends grew up. This time around, the grown ups are the ones learning lessons from their kids on a day notoriously full of surprises—the last day of school.

If you loved Grown Ups 2, the closest films we have are Son of Rambow (2007), The Intern (2015) and That's Life (1998). All three share Grown Ups 2's witty and playful feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Three Men and a Leg (1997).

Warm comedy in both cases

Friends Aldo, Giovanni, and Giacomo cross Italy from north to south for Giacomo's wedding: the father of the bride, a despotic magnate who is both their boss and father-in-law—since Aldo and Giovanni have also married into the family not for love but for money, a fate now awaiting Giacomo—has entrusted them with a priceless piece of modern art, one that looks just like a rather unremarkable wooden leg.
