Did Adam Sandler want a reunion with his <strong>Saturday Night Live <\/strong>buddies (with Kevin James standing in for Chris Farley) or did David Spade and Rob Schneider keep bugging him to put them in a major role in a summer blockbuster at least once before they died? Lending credence for the first theory: Norm MacDonald, Colin Quinn and Tim Meadows are also in the film. Lending credence for the second: would they have a chance otherwise?<\/p>\n<p>The plot involves five high school friends who reunite for a Fourth of July vacation after their old basketball coach dies. Implausibly, Salma Hayek portrays Adam Sandler&#8217;s wife. Even more implausibly, Maria Bello plays Kevin James&#8217; wife.<\/p>\n<p>While I have liked much of what Sandler has done before, I can&#8217;t say I have much hope for this film. When the payoff joke in the trailer involves peeing in the pool, that doesn&#8217;t instill confidence.<\/p>\n<p><object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"520\" height=\"343\" codebase=\"http:\/\/download.macromedia.com\/pub\/shockwave\/cabs\/flash\/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" \/><param name=\"wmode\" value=\"transparent\" \/><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" \/><param name=\"src\" value=\"http:\/\/www.traileraddict.com\/emd\/15988\" \/><embed type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"520\" height=\"343\" src=\"http:\/\/www.traileraddict.com\/emd\/15988\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" wmode=\"transparent\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\"\/><\/object><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\">1.
