To be fair, any number of Adam Sandler movies could have found their way onto this list of annoying films, but rather than create an entire article out of Adam Sandler movies it seemed logical to just focus on the worst culprit: Grown Ups 2. Grown Ups 2 is genuinely a film that you watch with your mouth hanging open. It is an unstoppable trainwreck of awfully-realised, ill-judged "comic" moments all stacked horribly on top of one another. Grown Ups 2 is a sequel, apparently, but it isn't really a sequel at all. It isn't really a movie. There is no discernible plot, aside from "Adam Sandler, Kevin James, Chris Rock and David Spader act like children for 90 minutes." And even that's not really accurate, because they behave worse than children; even comparing them to children is a kind of an insult. Every single scene in Grown Ups 2 is explosively irritating. There is a scene in which a deer gets loose in a room and urinates all over Sandler. It's the most sophisticated one.
