And that rings true for the latest cameo-laced Happy Madison production, <em>That\u2019s My Boy<\/em>.  Too bad not enough thought was put into the script.<\/p>\n<p>Aside from Sandler conjuring up one of his many amusing voices from his \u201890s comedy albums, this just seems underwritten and uninspired.  Actually, it also feels kind of late to the raunchy party, too.<\/p>\n<p>Put it this way: there\u2019s low-brow juvenile comedy; and then there\u2019s creative low-brow juvenile comedy.  Sadly, this is representing the latter part of that statement.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, the guy still has his moments within the dialogue, and the orchestration of a few scenes\/bits have that old-school immature Sandler stench-stamp all over it.  Especially since this is rated-R.  But when factoring in the main characters \u2013 many of which are making their first appearance in a Sandler product, they all seem out of place.  Or maybe it\u2019s just that the storytelling pattern seems worn out after a decade of mediocrity from the once clever on-screen comedian.<\/p>\n<p>The only details that will be given about the plot is that it stems from a younger version of Sandler\u2019s character, who is a key player in a highly publicized scandalous act, that leads to him becoming a reality star back in 1984.  During that period, he ends up fathering a kid before graduating high school.  Fast forward thirty years later, and he\u2019s now a dead beat former \u201cchild star.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sandler\u2019s character sports an unkempt Steve Perry mullet, jorts (jean shorts), and talks with a thick raspy Bostonian street accent.  And by doing so, a handful of his one-liners do have the ability to derive a chuckle, even though the encasing sequences drag on much like the entire presentation.<\/p>\n<p>After fifteen minutes or so of the flashback set-up, Sandler ends up looking to reconnect with his long-lost son (Andy Samberg) for purely selfish reasons.  Samberg has changed his identity to avoid any linking with his man-child father\u2019s shenanigans.  He has become a successful, yet dorky, hedge fund guru, who is about to marry the lovely and pretentious Leighton Meester at a ceremony at his well-off boss\u2019 (Tony Orlando) seaside estate.  Of course, once Sandler unexpectedly shows up \u2013 carrying a hefty bag filled with Budweiser and nunchucks, a charade to keep the truth from Meester\u2019s family, along with everyone else in Samberg\u2019s life, is paramount during the wedding weekend.<\/p>\n<p>Look, the middle portion is where this displays remnants of what many early Sandler fans yearn for.  A decent bachelor party sequence, and any time Sandler gets horny, shows promise.  The intro and bloated third act however castrate any chance of this being a triumphant return to pre-<em>Big Daddy<\/em> form.  If you\u2019re going to go back to the well with Sandler, then the filmmakers needed to commit all the way.  It seems they were trying, yet it\u2019s all the same shtick when they go with this character gimmick\/direction, even down to the accompanying \u201880s rock soundtrack.  Trying to blend pre-2000 Sandler era with his recent works \u2013 as seen strictly through the story and other characters, definitely does not give the audience the best of both worlds.  In fact, the filmmakers act as the Death Star and blow them all up (there\u2019s a piss-poor running joke about <em>Star Wars<\/em> that is beaten to death like many other jokes\u2026hence the reference).<\/p>\n<p>Overall, <em>That\u2019s My Boy<\/em> ironically would have worked better as a comedy album than a feature film.  While Sandler and his usual cast of role players are clearly having a blast, the rest of the roster, especially co-lead Andy Samberg, is overshadowed and therefore, negates any flow to this.  Sure there are a few laughs to be had, but this is not a mid-90s Sandler encore performance for those being lured into this by the R-rating and the sharply edited trailer.  <\/p>\n<p>And if you see this and disagree with the review, then you have to admit you took full-pleasure in <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/2011\/09\/09\/bucky-larson-born-to-be-a-star-review\/\">Bucky Larson:  Born to be a Star<\/a><\/em> (another raunchy Happy Madison brainchild\u2026which wasn\u2019t half-bad actually).  <\/p>\n<p><strong>Technical:  D+<\/p>\n<p>Acting:  C+<\/p>\n<p>Story:  D <\/p>\n<p>Overall:  D+ <\/strong><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_96966\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-96966\" style=\"width: 500px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/thats-my-boy.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/thats-my-boy.jpg\" alt=\"That&#039;s My Boy\" title=\"That&#039;s My Boy\" width=\"500\" height=\"350\" class=\"size-full wp-image-96966\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/thats-my-boy.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/thats-my-boy-300x210.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-96966\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Looks can be deceiving kids.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Title: That&#8217;s My Boy Director: Sean Anders So much time is put into the casting of an Adam Sandler flick.
