That's My Boy - 爸爸的好兒子
That's My Boy (爸爸的好兒子) is an 2012 film. The movie stars Adam Sandler and Andy Samberg. The supporting cast include Leighton Meester, Vanilla Ice, James Caan, Milo Ventimiglia, Ciara, and Todd Bridges. This movie was a box office under performer compared to Sandler's other blockbuster films.
Adam Sandler plays Donny, a young teenager that get's his 22 year old teacher pregnant in the 1980s. Donny makes headline news and is instantly a celebrity. Fast forward to present day USA, Donny's a washed up once famous child star that can barely get by life. Donny's got no money and will face jail time. The child Donny and his teacher had together is now quite successful. Donny decides to re-enter's his son, Todd's life, to gain some financial rewards. Namely, a spot on a reality show. However, Donny and Todd are at odds with each other.
This could be the film that pushes every gross out to the limit. This is a massive departure from other Sandler films like Wedding Singer, Click, and even Just Go With It. This was gross out humor that had very little laughs. I cringed more than I laughed out loud. Which was not pleasant. I won't recommend this film to Sandler fans or other humans. If you really like raunchy humor to the max, this one is for you. Just not a lot of laughs.
