I just want to start off by saying this is no Jack and Jill, which is very, very good news. Finally Adam Sandler is back on track with his comedy, and this time he is raunchier then ever. I knew that this film was going to be a lot better then people expected because the trailer was really funny, and I liked the idea for the story. You can probably already tell how this review is going to go.
The movie star Adam Sandler (Happy Gilmore, Billy Madison), Andy Samberg (Hot Rod, Saturday Night Live), Leighton Meester (Date Night, Going the Distance), Vanilla Ice (Rapper), James Caan (The Godfather, Las Vegas), Milo Ventimiglia (Rocky Balboa, Heros), Will Forte (Saturday Night Live, MacGruner), and Nick Swardson (Grandma's Boy, Just Go With It).
The story goes that when Donny (Adam Sandler) was in Junior High, he had sex with his teacher and ended up getting her pregnant. Through these actions Donny get publicity and becomes somewhat famous of the whole ordeal. He took care of his son Todd (Andy Samberg) until he becomes 18 and leaves Donny and wants nothing to do with him. A long while later Donny owes $43,000 in unpaid taxes and he can't afford them. In an effort to earn the money he tries to reconnect with his son and actually be a better dad.
I can honestly say that this is definitely one of Adam Sandler's better films. From start to finish I was laughing my ass off and at even some parts I was crying from how hard I was laughing. Even though at some points the voice Adam Sandler was doing in the film was annoying, I easily got over that. The jokes either consisted of really funny and well thought out jokes or just stupid funny jokes. The situations that they got into in this film also really helped out with the hilarity factor. The film had its stupid parts, but they weren't too bad to where you just roll your eyes.
I think that Adam Sandler is still a very funny person and if he continues to make movies like this one, then he will still have a career in making movies. The movie is filled with many cameos that are absolutely hilarious and placed in the film well. If you are looking for a good time and want to laugh your ass off, then "That's My Boy" is what you are looking for.
Rating: 8/10
