grown-ups 3

Over the course of two movies, Adam Sandler, David Spade, Chris Rock, and Kevin James have gotten to effectively hang out and celebrate the good ol’ times together in both a diegetic and non-diegetic sense.

The wily old Tom Scharpling had a bit of fun imagining what a third installment to the film franchise would be like and penned an entire script as a loving stunt to the Grown Ups and the “SandlerVerse”. What resulted is a very satisfyingly meta, twist-and-turn filled short script (only 51 pages).

So, without further adieu, please read and enjoy Scharpling’s joyfully dark take on Grown-Ups here.

FYI, tickets for the live reading of Grown-Ups 3 on Jan. 28th at the Bootleg are still available.

The well of comedy gold that flows from the imagination of Tom Scharpling (The Best Show on WFMU) never ends and never ceases to amaze. Just for the hell of it, he made an irreverent script for what he thought could be the third installment in the Grown-Ups franchise, the Adam Sandler and friends broad comedies that is pretty much just premised on reuniting old friends for some hijinks.

This Grown-Ups 3 will be live read later this month (Tues. Jan. 28th 8:30PM) at the Bootleg by what we’re sure will be a stellar cast in order to raise money in support of Australian Wildfire relief.

Tickets are starting at $15. Go get them for this special, one-off that supports a very, very good cause here.
