Thirty years after young Lenny Feder, Kurt McKenzie, Marcus "Higgie" Higgins, Eric Lamonsoff, and Bob "Robbie" Hilliard win the 1978 St Mark's C.Y.O. Championship basketball tournament, they all meet again while attending the funeral of Coach Robert "Buzzer" Fernando (Blake Clark). Grown-up Lenny (Adam Sandler) is now a Hollywood talent agent married to fashion designer Roxanne Chase-Feder (Salma Hayek). Kurt (Chris Rock) is a stay-at-home dad, Eric (Kevin James) drives up in a Cadillac, Robbie (Rob Schneider) is married to Gloria (Joyce Van Patten), a woman twice his age, and Higgie (David Spade) is an inveterate woman chaser. They decide to rent a lodge in order to get in touch again.
Grown Ups is based on a screenplay by principal actor Adam Sandler and screenwriter Fred Wolf. It was followed by Grown Ups 2 (2013).
No, it's an urban legend. See here.
All of the team members, except for Lenny and Dickie Bailey (Colin Quinn), get winded and drop out of the game, so Lenny calls in his son Greg (Jake Goldberg), and Dickie calls in his son. Lenny calls out, "Next basket wins," takes his shot, and purposely misses. Dickie takes his shot, scores, and the OLPH team wins the game. Later, as the families watch fireworks, Lenny admits to Roxanne that he blew the last shot because he felt that the Baileys needed to know what it feels like to win sometimes. Hillie, drunk as usual, suggests a game of arrow roulette and shoots an arrow into the air. Everyone scatters, Greg jumping into Jasmine's (Madison Riley) arms. Mama Ronzoni (Ebony Jo-Ann) trips, her face landing in a cake. Only Wiley (Steve Buscemi) is left standing because he can't run with his body cast. The arrow comes down and pierces his foot. "We win again!" Wiley yells triumphantly and faints.
It's called "Sentimental Lady" by Bob Welch.
