Did These Quotes Help You Better Understand What a Family Truly Entails?
As its title states, Grown Ups is a movie about one’s experiences while growing older and more ready to face the world’s harsh realities. The five friends we got to know through the movie all had started building their own families away from each other. But, the sudden death of their beloved coach led them all back together.
They faced grief and loss together, and all moved forward and grew through that shared experience. This is an excellent example of how a family could be found in people that are not your relatives by blood. After all, sometimes, a family could be found in the most unexpected places.
Grown Ups also served us with some excellent comedy through the characters’ interactions. Just imagine having a reunion with your best friends after not seeing them for so long. Wouldn’t you also be so excited to spend time with them?
More than that, in their journey together, each character and their partners learn how to better deal with their own families at home. For example, Rob gets a better understanding of how trust works, Lenny and his wife understand how important it is to teach their children to be content, and Eric also learns how vital honesty is in a relationship.
Grown Ups is a movie that leaves us with lasting lessons and laughter. So, read this list again whenever you want or need a pick-me-up!
