Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever
Crwthod A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.
Keeley Coleman The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
Tayyab Torres Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
pollardm-45339 Sure Sandlers made a few mediocre films, but this isn't one of them. Enough laughs , and crazy escapades here along with a few unexpected turns along the way. Too many 1 and 2 ratings here from I'm sure people that dont like any shock value in their comedy, or those that are easily offended.. . Some pop culture references and a light hearted look at the has-been thing in the media - with Vanilla Ice and Todd Bridges serving tacos in a food van. Both join in on the inevitable ride and crazy escapades... Cool 80's rock soundtrack too... Probably not the film to watch with your mother - but maybe a few friends would be better!
taunotooming It is a first movie for a long time which I did not bother to watch to the end. It is bad! Very bad! It is full of clichés, it is very predictable and the scenes supposed to be the most memorable are just plain awful! The script and the acting are so bad that it is almost hilarious. Whats worse, some things should not be used for making fun...
Spikeopath That's My Boy finds Adam Sandler on auto pilot, for this represents him not giving a care in the world about his fans or anyone remotely interested in watching a decent comedy. Sure this has fans, and it's not my want to chastise people's personal preferences, especially with what makes them laugh, and certainly making light of serious issues doesn't have me signing up for the next PC Brigade march, but this is pathetically played.It was a colossal failure at the box offices, and it deserved to be. Sandler and his writer, David Caspe, blend edgy offensiveness with base juvenile comedy, throwing erection and sperm gags together with incest and statutory rape was always going to be tricky to successfully pull off, even more so when Sandler and co seem to think shouting loud makes scenes more funny. It's just that it never comes off as a funny whole, just a series of mind farts dotted alongside a potentially warm bonding between estranged father and son thread.Next to this Little Nicky looks a masterpiece! It's a tough film for Sandler fans to defend, and I have been one in the past, but when Vanilla Ice sending himself up is a highlight then you got problems. Whilst Susan Sarandon and James Caan should look in the mirror and ask questions about appearing in this... 3/10
sakiververis For those of us who grew up on Sandler, listened to the comedy tapes, watched Billy Madison and Happy Gilmore at least once month, respected Big Daddy, loved Little Nicky and weren't afraid to admit it--we will always love Sandler. The more mass market stuff gets a lot of hate, and I'll admit I'm not into them for the most part, although (let's be honest) his romcoms are the best in the biz. But this movie is not a mass market movie. It is crass, its main character is mostly despicable, it threads a tough needle through some very taboo subject matter like statutory rape, incest, and stolen valor. Yet somehow Sandler rises to the challenge of poking fun at this material and makes his character, Donnie Berger, an all around endearing person. Sandberg clearly understands Sandler's sense of humor and plays the perfect straight man to Sandler's over the top Mass hole character. As a person who grew up in the Boston suburbs, Sandler does an amazing job capturing the stereotypical Boston alpha male. He hams it way up, but he's consistent and it works. My only regret is coming late to the party. I wish I had seen this sooner. Like other classic Sandler movies, TmB has high re-watch value. I'm looking forward to watching again and again and again.
