What is Grown Ups about?

Does it have a happy ending? (spoiler-safe)
Yes. It lands on a happy note.
Grown Ups (2010)
Five old friends rekindle their bond over a wholesome, broad comedy that feels wonderfully heartwarming.
Feel-good and crowd-pleasing, with big broad humor. A comfort watch at a measured pace. Emotionally it carries some weight.
