Review: While still in his teens, Donny (Adam Sandler) fathered a son, Todd (Andy Samberg), and raised him as a single parent up until Todd's 18th birthday. Now, after not seeing each other for years, Todd's world comes crashing down on the eve of his wedding when an uninvited Donny suddenly shows up. Trying desperately to reconnect with his son, Donny is now forced to deal with the repercussions of his bad parenting skills. That's My Boy is a tough film to judge in the sense that I know plenty of people who will find this hilarious, and equally as many who will be completely appalled. I personally found myself laughing for a large part of the movie, but there were certainly some VERY dark comedic themes present that are not for the feint of heart. I should mention that while I enjoyed the majority of the film, there were some cringe-worthy scenes in my opinion. Where I think this movie really excels is it's fantastic cast. I'm a big fan of both Adam Sandler and Andy Samberg, and I really enjoyed the dynamic between their two characters. The supporting cast is great as well, with a plethora of big name, successful actors and a few goofy cameos that keep this movie fun and entertaining. At the end of the day, I recommend this movie to fans of vulgar, raunchy comedies. If you watch it and you hate it, I would totally understand, but don't say I didn't warn you.
Fun Fact: When Andy Samberg got married, he invited Adam Sandler to the wedding, who showed up as his character in this movie, outfit and all.
