That's My Boy is Adam Sandler's latest film and sees him as Donny Berger. A student who, in high school, had sex with his teacher which resulted in a pregnancy and the teacher been put to prison for 30 years. When she is pregnant Donny had custody of him until he becomes 18. When he turns 18, he leaves Donny's life and starts his own.
Let me say that this film released about 3 months in Ireland, where I live, after America. And so I was waiting for this film for months. I was dying with anticipation. I love all of Adam Sandler's comedies. Even Jack and Jill was decent. And I have to say, Jack and Jill is even better than this.
Adam Sandler puts on an annoying voice, even more so than Little Nicky, but at least I could stand Little Nicky as I thought it was a very funny film. This film however, was not funny at all. There was one funny bit, at the very end, and it's by Nick Swardson. The rest.... pfffftttt....
The screenwriter is the person who created Happy Endings, the TV show, and I really enjoy that. I just felt the jokes went-too-far. I didn't find them offensive and I don't care how vulgar and crude they are. I just felt they went to far in an effort to be funny. And the script tended to favor vulgarity and over-the-topness to actually being funny.
I don't usually like Andy Samberg, and he wasn't too good in this either. All the supporting cast were alright, and do something which makes me smile sometimes. But overall, meh. There was really no good parts in the film except for the fact that it didn't feel slow and dragged out. That's the only good thing I have to say, which when you think about it is good, as it is 2 hours.
Anyway, a HUGE disappointment and Sandler's second worst film, next to Going Overboard. I will give him another chance with Hotel Transylvania, hopefully he can do something. Come on Sandler, don't let me down.
A low 5/10.
