Julie Russell's Great Big Grown Ups 2 Adventure

See Julie Russell's photos and account from the NYC premiere of Grown Ups 2.


We were glad to see that Grown Ups 2 superfan Julie Russell's trip to NYC for the premiere of the Adam Sandler movie was so rewarding.

Julie tops the charts in her enthusiasm for the movie and all its trappings and here we get her account of her whirlwind trip to NYC. And a series of pics taken with Grown Ups 2 stars in NYC.

The NYC trip was much like her experience in Swampscott last summer when she and friends relied on happenstance — and social media — to connect with the stars for pics and quick conversations at movie sets.
Grown Ups 2 opens in theaters nationwide Friday, July 12.


Julie's Grown Ups 2 Premiere Adventure
"I am returning home now and the premiere was very chaotic with tons of fans!
 I got to meet Adam Sandler and David Spade on Tuesday when they were doing an interview then I went to the Aly and AJ concert because Aly Michalka is a sorority girl in the movie and when I was there I saw Patrick Schwarzenegger and Jimmy Tatro who were frat boys. 
On Wednesday I went to Good Morning America and saw Sandler, Spade, Rock, James and Shaq. Then later that afternoon I met Kevin James and got a picture.
Nick Swardson also had an interview at Sirous radio so I went there and got to meet him! Then I went to the premiere and I got to see Alexander (Ludwig)who I haven't seen in forever! Then after all the stars were inside some of the workers handed out tickets to the premiere and I got the chance to go inside and watch the movie with the whole entire cast that was at the premiere!! I can't believe I got to watch it with all of them!
And then I found the after party and met Taylor Lautner, Cameron Boyce and Halston Sage.
My pictures with Taylor and Halston are blurry a little and on my camera so I will néed to do some editing.
It was an incredible three days and I'm so glad I got to see everyone again!
