Adam Sandler's 'Grown Ups' pushed to summer

Is Adam Sandler's made-in-Massachusetts movie "Grown Ups" being poised as next summer's first blockbuster comedic film?

The ultimate buddy flick, currently filming at Chebacco Lake and Centennial Grove located 30 Martin St. in Essex, has reportedly been moved from a March 12 release date to the more promising Friday, June 25 theatrical debut.

According to Variety here, the flick has the luxury of being the only film set for release the Friday before Fourth of July weekend in 2010. Other big-name releases like "Twilight: The Eclipse" and M. Night Shyamalan's "The Last Airbender" are scheduled to open on Wednesday, June 30.

"Grown Ups," set in Connecticut during a Fourth of July weekend, is a comedy about five high school friends who reunite with their families during the summer at a lake house after 30 years apart and stars Sandler, Kevin James, Chris Rock, Rob Schneider, David Spade, Salma Hayek, Maria Bello and Maya Rudolph.

As previously reported in Loaded Gun, a source says "Grown Ups" will splish-splash its way in August to Water Wizz of Cape Cod, a family-themed fun park located at 3031 Cranberry Hwy. in East Wareham.
