St. Louis Post-DispatchJoe WilliamsJun 15, 2012
In matters of personal taste, there is no right or wrong, so if erasing brain cells is your idea of a good time, That's My Boy could be your cup of turpentine. Read full review

Boston GlobeEthan GilsdorfJun 14, 2012
Sadly, That's My Boy relies on caricatures, rather than characters, to make you laugh. Read full review

Slant MagazineNick SchagerJun 14, 2012
That's My Boy lazily exists in a fantasyland of Adam Sandler's perpetual adolescence, even as it generates some moderate comic friction from Sandler and Andy Samberg's testy back-and-forth. Read full review

Arizona RepublicBill GoodykoontzJun 14, 2012
This is one of those movies you feel stupider just for having sat through. I think I'm already worse at math. Read full review

VarietyJustin ChangJun 14, 2012
All in all, it could have been worse. Puerile, crotch-fixated and very occasionally, inanely funny, Adam Sandler's raunchiest star vehicle in years has a small saving grace in Andy Samberg's performance. Read full review

Miami HeraldRene RodriguezJun 15, 2012
That's My Boy more than lives up to its R-rating - including one gross-out gag repulsive enough to make you put down your popcorn. Read full review

The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Rick GroenJun 14, 2012
Will be construed by the faithful as an embarrassment of riches and by the rest of us as cruel and unusual punishment. Read full review

San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleJun 14, 2012
It's monumentally coarse and vulgar, aimed at the mentality of a 14-year-old locked inside his father's liquor cabinet, and nothing about it is funny, least of all Adam Sandler. Read full review

USA TodayClaudia PuigJun 14, 2012
That's My Boy is puerile, mean-spirited and charmless. Read full review

New Orleans Times-PicayuneMike ScottJun 15, 2012
Nobody has an excuse for being surprised by how low Sandler and company stoop in That's My Boy. Read full review

New York Daily NewsJoe NeumaierJun 14, 2012
As awful as most of That's My Boy is, it's sort of mesmerizing to see how Sandler - in a script credited to David Caspe - keeps his touchstones in place. Read full review

The A.V. ClubNathan RabinJun 13, 2012
The film is such a barren comic wasteland of scatology and misogyny that Vanilla Ice steals the film with a good-natured, self-deprecating portrayal of himself as Sandler's sleazy party buddy. Read full review

Washington PostMichael O'SullivanJun 14, 2012
That's My Boy is radical only in its extreme laziness. Read full review

Even with 87.5 years to go, the 21st century may never see a stupider comedy than That's My Boy. Read full review
