The film also brings in new characters to do cameo appearances: Shaquille O’Neil as a silly cop, Taylor Lautner as frat bro “whaaaa,†Andy Samberg as a sexy, car-washing cheerleader, and what seems to be an SNL reunion with other current and past members also doing appearances.Īfter “Grown Ups†banked more than $160 million dollars in the U.S. In the film, Lenny and his family have moved out of the city to live in the same small town he and his friends grew up in and where they all vacationed last in order to give his kids a better life.

As her career matured into the 2010s, Hayek worked consistently, moving easily between voice work in animated features, acclaimed indies like "Beatriz at Dinner" (2017), comedies like "Grown Ups" (2010), and popcorn thrillers like "The Hitman's Bodyguard" (2017).“I want to get chocolate wasted” is without a doubt one of the most epic movie quotes of our generation from child Latina actress Alexys Nycole Sanchez. However, it was her instincts as producer and director which earned consistent accolades. Hayek valiantly tried to translate both her looks and intelligence into worthy film roles with varying degrees of success. She went on to earn significant respect for executive producing the ABC comedy "Ugly Betty" (2006-10), which she helped adapt from its original format as a daily Columbian soap, and earned a Daytime Emmy for directing the family film "The Maldonado Miracle" (2003) for Showtime. Among her biggest box office hits was a leading role in the Will Smith summer blockbuster "Wild Wild West" (1999), though her most acclaimed performance was her Academy Award-nominated starring role as Mexican painter Frida Kahlo in "Frida" (2002), which Hayek, as producer, worked for years to bring to the big screen.

A favorite of the film's renegade writer-director Robert Rodriguez, the former telenovela star from Mexico gained a foothold in the American movie business in independent film and as a favorite on men's magazines "Sexiest" lists. Salma Hayek first hit stateside cineplexes as the border town bookseller who romances Antonio Banderas' vengeful "mariachi" in "Desperado" (1995).
