The Grown ups film poster instantly suggests to the audience that it will focus on both genders either separately or at the same time within the film, we can suggest this by the way that it separates the males and females in the poster. A stereotype is included in the poster, the men are having fun and playing in a child like manner while the females are standing with defensive body language and looking stern. Linking with the females facial expressions is the quote on the poster 'some guys just need a little extra time to mature'.
A cliché of the comedy genre is the woman look after the men. As they are stereotypically seen as the mother figures throughout the film. The title grown ups implies the difference of the grown up men and grown up women. Grown up men mess around and act similar to their children when around their friends, on the other hand the women will have lots of children to look after.
The film title is placed in the middle to purposely separate the images and text, allowing there to be greater focus on the images/text, but neither counteract each other. They just simply sit next to each other without distraction.
The use of the colour blue in the title links to happiness and fun which is shown through the male picture.
