![]() ![]() Eric Lamonsoff (Kevin James) is now a co-owner of a lawn furniture company. Greg and Keith have become spoiled, much to Lenny's annoyance. Together, they have two sons named Greg and Keith and one daughter named Becky. This popular movie has another life, driving people to search, "Where was Grown-Ups filmed?" and then to visit. Lenny Feder (Adam Sandler) is a high powered Hollywood talent agent who is married to Roxanne (Salma Hayek), a fashion designer. What are we looking at here? Basically, this little movie drove tourism in the area for the last decade and showcased a place that was not so expensive most people couldn't visit, and was just quaint enough to be charming. One place that kept its name was a water park called Water Wizz, which also was the park used in the movie The Way Way Back. When it came to eating in the movie, they used the historic restaurant Woodman's of Essex, though they renamed it "Woodman's Eat in the Rough." They shut down the restaurant to shoot inside, and this was the first time in almost 100 years it had closed for anything. Theres a campy, kitschy quality to Grown Ups 2 that if youre paying attention you realize is quite intentional given the films relentless devotion to 80s. The movie takes place on the fictional Amoskeag Lake, but in reality, they shot on Chebacco Lake, a 209-acre reservoir near Essex, Massachusetts. Sandler's movie does a really good job selling the area and all the things to do. Well, people see the picturesque New England location in the movie, and I think they see an exciting family vacation. The party is a last-minute idea (note: there’s no story-related reason for that to be the case), but word spreads quickly and every person in town shows up in elaborate ’80s-themed costumes. So why are people visiting where Grown Ups was filmed? The film takes place on the last day of school, with Lenny throwing a beginning of summer party at his house tonight. ![]()
