Set Location For Adam Sandler Movie Grown Ups In Essex, Ma, originally uploaded by captjoe06.
This swim platform is new to the lake right in front of the Lake House where the scenes are being shot. I’m not sure if it will be part of the movie or just a place for the actors/crew to goof off, but look for it when the movie comes out.

Oh my god – wait until the seagulls see that carefully canvassed swimming float !!

That dock would look good at Lake Boon.
Maybe we can strike a deal for a little cameo lake shot in exchange for the dock.

p.s. that dock is a peice of crap. its gonna rot in 1 year, they used the wrong wood. its being torn down as soon as the movie is over. nevermind their breaking laws by having it there. Ripping up all the weeds. ILLIGAL! If I did that to my area around my house. Finds Finds Finds. Sorry for the negativity, but seriously.. what else can they get away with… They gonna turn the water purple next?

Your a guinness. TURN THE WATER PURPLE. I love it. Do you know any local companies that can do it? Oh and the was an issue about movie locations on the north shore nickle and dime-ing productions to death with their little permit for this, permit for that. The industry threatened to stop filming here, and I think the towns got off their high horse and loosened up a little. after all. these films could be shot in Main pretty easily. It may be a little less accommodating, but as far as scenery goes, it pretty much smokes anything we have down here. Don’t deny it. I know that complaining is pretty much ingrained in everyone from the north shore. Not to mention some other pretty ugly qualities that I wont mention. You should, (and probably do), feel honored that they are shooting here. If they knew what I knew they might still shoot here, just not with cameras. Know what I mean? sorry for the negativity. I’ve only moved away from the north shore a few months ago myself, and it will probably take years and lots of therapy before I begin to act like a normal human=being again.

Hi Chris;
Seems like an impossible job for you becoming a normal human again.
Sounds like it’s the Northshore that benefits from your move to Maine.

They wont let you near the set. Believe me I’m an extra—in the movie, and its been great, really loose and funny cast, mostly former Saturday night live stand-outs..—like Rob Schneider, David Spade, Adam Sandler, and Norm MacDonald and such —-on set. they are hilarious, there were a lot of funny moments on set all week–
but you wont get anywhere near the set–they have security hired
you can visit woodmans and see the shoot location for that but thats about it. they even have police out in boats in the lake–to keep people away from the side they are shooting on during shooting

The cast is not staying at “a venue” they are renting houses in different locations on the North Shore. I know where several of the cast members are residing for the summer… I will respect their privacy BUT I WILL TELL YOU they are not hard to miss – just look for cast members in the Black Cadillac Escalades they’re driving around! They are shooting on Chebacco Lake (Essex side) and this week @ Woodmans on route 22. I have seen most of the cast members at different times out and about in Essex and the surrounding areas – they are not in hiding.

I was just fishing on Chebacco lake all morning, the site looks very cool! love Hollywood and what they can do! the actual “boathouse” looks as though it has been there for ever! very good job! i am far far far from a star stocker, but would love to see some! it is always fun! i love the fact MA is getting more movies!

I had the fortunate privilage of walking in the boat house and cottage just prior ( a few days ) before they closed it down to security. My wife and I live in Essex and were walking down dirt road to the cottage hoping just to get a glimpse of a set or something..me being a movie nut..wife..not so much, and the cool seccurity gaurd gave us a tour. No pictures sorry..we were very erspecctful and touched nothing. But did see the tree through the cottage, the popsicle stick lamp, the inside of the boat house etc. Extremely cool. Tried to get to be an extra or at least get to watch a day of filming for my memories..but locked down tighter than hell. Today they were supposed to be filming basketball game..but could not find the location, had some inside tips but no luck. Anyway, have seen no celebs at all..just tons of film trucks, crew vans, and yes lots of white & black with tinted window excalades.

I’m an Essex resident too and would love to see some of the stars. especially Steve Buschemi and Kevin James, do you know is Buschemi is in the Essex scenes?
LikeLike
I don’t know. But what is actually interesting to me is that in my opionion Buschemi is probably one of the most versital and talented cast members in this movie. I have seen him do all sorts of roles, he also can direct well too. I don’t think he is a main character in this one. Keep a look out for cadillac Escilades and lots of em. You live here so you know how crazily busy our great quiet town has gotten. I am not sure of course, but I think James is in a white escalade, Sandler in a black one and I have also seen a tan one. Also seen a ton of chevy tahoe’s bran new everywhere. There around, so people have told me. I have been behind and in front of many escukades around here and think I have seen James twice in a white one and possibly Schneider in a tan one…but who knows.
