NEW FILMS FRIDAY

GROWN UPS — ★½ — This Adam Sandler comedy's brand of "humor" consists mostly of insults — and the usual, expected crudities. Running time: 102 minutes; PG-13 (vulgarity, slapstick violence, profanity, slurs, brief partial nudity, brief gore)

MOTHER AND CHILD — ★★½ — A nearly disastrous story "thread" unravels this drama about familial ties. Annette Bening stars. Running time: 127 minutes; R (sex, profanity, nudity, vulgarity, slurs)

SOLITARY MAN — ★★½ — There's something charming about Michael Douglas's depiction of a heavily flawed and seemingly unrepentant man. Running time: 90 minutes; R (vulgarity, profanity, sex, slurs, violence, brief partial nudity)
