I mean I thought this film could be an improvement over Jack and Jill because it wasn't directed by Dennis Dugan, but it proved to be one of the most agonizing and annoying films I have seen in a long time, and the worst film I have seen this year so far. I mean almost the entire film is jokes about genitals, sex, and masturbation. I thought Andy Samberg even had a chance to save it from being a total disaster, but he didn't improve the film at all. When watching the first 15 minutes of the film, I knew instantly that it was only going to get worse, and boy was I right. I actually want to thank Sandler in a way, he has shown me over the years how terrible a comedy can truly be, and I think this film proves that it's only going to get worse in the future. I have seen very few movies in my lifetime where every single character is completely unlikeable and creepy as the people in this film. As long as I have a single breath in my body, I will do everything in my power to never see this film again, and I don't recommend it to anyone on this earth or the next.… Expand

Some of the scenes involving Rex Ryan I thought were funny, besides that this film continues in a long line of bad Adam Sandler comedies. So long to Billy Madison and The Wedding Singer.

After the piece of garbage Jack & Jill, Adam Sandler goes for another awful comedy involving pedophilia and terrible parenting.

Sandler is you annoying, retarded who wants to reconcile with his son who's mother was his former high schoolAfter the piece of garbage Jack & Jill, Adam Sandler goes for another awful comedy involving pedophilia and terrible parenting.

Sandler is you annoying, retarded who wants to reconcile with his son who's mother was his former high school teach. That's right Sandler actually has sex with a teacher when he's sixteen. Whoever came up with the idea of making incest a good concept for a comedy.

His character is the same person in another terrible Happy Madison Production: Big Daddy. It's like he wanted to do a continuation and than scrapped it at the last minute. His voice sounded like he lifted it from Little Nicky and sounds like nails on a chalkboard in slow motion.

Every single joke is unfunny and don't even try to make any humour at all. Not even Andy Samberg's humour can save this roadkill of a comedy. The other cast members are wasted including James Caan and Susan Surandon.

Good thing that it became a box office flop and earned Sandler his third Worst Actor Golden Raspberry.… Expand

That's My Boy with Adam Sandler and Andy Samberg is a typical raunchy, but funny film timed perfectly for a Summer opening. Adam fathers a child with his teacher in approximately 7th grade. His Mom spends her remaining years in jail and up until Andy's wedding the groom has secreted himself from his slob of a father. They do have their ups and downs, there's a lot of somewhat humorous sex and a very funny old lady. I wouldn't rush to see this - maybe the video rental is the best answer. It seems to me that clever Adam's taste in stories to film has slipped - a lot. If you like sleaze, please ignore anything negative I've said.… Expand

After watching this film, I felt like I lost a few brain cells because of how stupid it was. This is like Adam Sandler's huge dump made into a movie. I guess he just wanted to take a piss and waste all his money.

This movie was vulgar, crude and absolutely disgusting. It was the worst movie I had ever seen. I can believe the Adam Sandler stooped to such a low. I am telling everyone I know not to waste their time or money on the diaster.

Because it was a Paul Thomas Anderson film, not an Adam Sandler "movie." Puerile and sophomoric (although that's giving too much credit...methinks it has not even approached third grade level, and even that is being generous), this would reduce any aggregate IQ score one may have, and might even enable the physical sensation of having one's very intellect and possibly even essence leeched away in a forcible manner.

Watching white paint dry on a white wall might hold more entertainment value and humor than this. Because at least with watching watching white paint dry on a white wall, you can at least laugh at yourself for choosing that over this. Laughing at this is tantamount to laughing at a funeral, because one might get an uneasy feeling that after many, many years of trying, American culture has finally and fully hit rock-bottom.… Expand

A love affair between a student and a teacher isn't even funny at all. He supposedly had raised this child, because his mother went off to prison for an underage relationship. Adam was meant to be the worst father ever. In the long run Adam's character is in deep debt and he looks into a news paper and discover his not too much older than him son has millions and is set to get married. He plans a bachelor party, with as usual, many of his closest friends and there are many half naked woman, showing off all their goods as the strippers and the morons around them are acting like a bunch of idiots, as usual. He got his son drunk, high and in trouble with his soon to be bride. He got his own son drunk and the son vomits on his soon to be wife's wedding dress, yuck. Besides the not so funny disgusting scene and filthy language, the bride to be isn't even a nice person, but a evil witch. Back to the father and son's age difference, Adam isn't even old enough to be that boy's father. Their not that far from tens years apart in age. The humor isn't even there and the whole storyline falls so flat, that it is so horrible. If it makes millions in ticket sales over the weekend, it is a real shock to me. Because I would never waste my money on this not so funny movie. The movie isn't funny at all, and no one who has the right mind would never, ever,dare waste their time and money to watch it. Watch out Oscars, because this movie will never dare to be nominated for anything you can handle. this is the worst movie of decades, and many more to come.… Expand

This is one of those movies he can add to the pile, Thats My Boy is over hyped in both trailers and ads but really isn't special at all. Yes the film brings up good sentiments and some moments which are somewhat remotely funny but again falls flat with its crude and unsavory subject matter and material, over done with toilet humor and slapstick along with pervasive sexual humor which reaches a point were it isn't funny anymore and the overall feeling of the film which is rather annoying. Adam Sandler has spiraled down the drain to this level of film, I can say he has had great films in the past with "I Pronounce you Chuck and Larry" and "Don't Mess with the Zohan" but now its come to this and he has brought all the actors in his movie down with him.… Expand

For Adam Sandler, this will most likely be posthumously. In the past 5 years, he has stacked dead script upon dead script in an attempt to make a career funeral pyre so daunting even long-time fans stand dumbfounded. "That's my boy" is that crass aging uncle that comes to family gatherings asking children to pull his finger and making dirty joke behind sweaty pink bejeweled fingers. You would love for him to stop coming but everyone feels sorry for him and it's only once a year. Still, it's hard to watch someone needing attention so much.… Expand

One of Adam Sandler's poorer effots. Nothing works as everything is forced. Just simply not a funny movie. In all honesty if you must see it do it quickly as it will be gone in 2 weeks.

That's why throughout the entire run-time of "That's My Boy" his character, Donny Burger, ehmm, Berger, sorry (see, Sandler, you're not the only one who can do a tasteless joke) acts like a human converter, pretty much turning everyone he meets to their most deprived versions.

But if life were according to Sandler, depravity would be celebrated. Kids everywhere would have sexual intercourse with their teachers and then feed their offspring candies every breakfast only to have them sick of diabetes in a few years. But Sandler is a down-to-earth guy. This I like about him. Donny Berger is not only an annoying character but he is so incredibly obnoxious, pushing the limit of taste so far that after a while you numb to the experience and can't help but laugh a bit... just a bit.

Beyond the usual mediocre acting, awkward writing, and so on, this film tries to make Sandler's character look good in a very weird way. There is not much into justifying his actions, no redemption or anything, but yet again, is everyone else who is at fault. In the end stages he discovers his son's soon-to-be wife Jamie (Leighton Meester) performing sexual intercourse with her brother. Director Sean Anders thinks that by making Donny reveal such a disturbing act would make him look better than finding her cheating with some random dude.

Between a Vanilla Ice cameo and a James Caan who I have no idea what the hell he is doing in this mess, there is a bit of fun here and there, but overall its just silly and, God, so annoying!… Expand

This is one of my least favourite films of all time. I think it all began with the very hollow opening, depicting PEDOPHILIA in the worst way possible. The son that the teacher and student have is named Han Solo. Wow. I**Just my opinion**
This is one of my least favourite films of all time. I think it all began with the very hollow opening, depicting PEDOPHILIA in the worst way possible. The son that the teacher and student have is named Han Solo. Wow. I guess at points it is funny, but the majority of the time, it's so painful to watch. The comedy isn't remotely smart, all characters are terrible and the basic recycled atmosphere absolutely tires me. Just how am I supposed to feel emotional at any scenes, when beforehand I literally witnessed a child being born from another child, just longer than 10 years younger than him? Also, they have a cheap attempt at a joke, by depicting a incest relationship .....

Films such as The Hangover are great examples of comedy today. The Hangover, believe it or not, is smart. It actually has more than comedy. It's basically a film about friends learning more about each other, taking time away from their every day live, and what's this film about? Well, to put it simply, it's about some kid having a baby who grows up to become the fiancé of an incest whore.… Expand
