“That’s My Boy” is a slap stick comedy that uses crude and vulgar humor to make the audience fall out of their seats laughing. Besides “21 Jump Street,” the audience hasn't really been presented with many slap stick comedies in 2012. With the lack of these comedies being made, with a name like Adam Sandler attached to the project it can be expected for this movie to relish in the box office.
The movie stars Adam Sandler who plays Donny Berger, who at age 14 has sex with one his teachers and ends up fathering a child. Years past and Donny has four himself in trouble and ends up owing money to the IRS; if he doesn't pay the money by the end of the weekend he will be sent to prison. Donny finds out that his son, played by Andy Samberg, is getting married the same weekend and believes that this is his golden ticket to getting the money he needs.
The pace of this film is pretty moderate; there is barely any slow parts in the film. The acting was okay, but it's pretty hard to judge Adam Sandler's performance because he is known to act kind of childish in his 90s films. There wasn't any performances in this movie that made me cringe. I will just come out and say that this film made me laugh. I do prefer comedies that don't use cuss words and vulgar jokes to get their laughs, but Adam Sandler movies will feature crudeness and disgusting jokes; even though I thought some were forced, I did think they worked out in this movie.
That plot is simple and the end is predictable, but the movie knows it is made to do and that is to make you laugh as much as it can and it did just that. If you are an Adam Sandler or a Saturday Night Live fan, this movie will make you happy. I give this movie 2 1/2 stars out of 5.
