Title: That's My Boy! Post by: HappyGilmore on June 16, 2012, 06:16:08 PM Adam Sandler returns, this time entering R-Rated territory.
In it, 13 year old Donny sleeps with his beautiful teacher over the course of a few weeks. She gets pregnant, goes to jail for thirty years. Donny gets thrust in the limelight, tv appearances, a sitcom, magazines. Owing the IRS money and attempting to avoid prison, he crashes the wedding weekend of his son, Han Solo, to coerce him in a televised reunion with his mom in jail for a bunch of money. Beyond the crude humor, there's a sweet story with Sandler as the father and Samberg as the son. Hilarious cameos from Tony Orlando, Todd Bridges, and Vanilla Ice. A big step up from Jack and Jill and Bucky Larson. Title: Re: That's My Boy! Post by: RCMerchant on June 17, 2012, 05:15:07 AM You have this in the good movie section? :question:
Title: Re: That's My Boy! Post by: Rev. Powell on June 17, 2012, 10:23:57 AM It's up to 23% positive on Rotten Tomatoes!
The last 4 movies Sandler was involved with scored 0, 3, 10 and 19 percent positive. But I bet they all made money. Title: Re: That's My Boy! Post by: HappyGilmore on June 17, 2012, 11:18:27 AM You have this in the good movie section? :question: I debated on which section to throw this in.But, overall, it's not as bad as some previous HappyMadison productions. Going for a full R-Rating worked best. In all honesty, it wasn't a waste of money. I laughed, a lot, so that makes it good. Title: Re: That's My Boy! Post by: claws on June 17, 2012, 11:52:37 AM I gave up on Sandler after watching Little Nicky, but then came Punch-Drunk Love (2002) but I only bought it for my Paul Thomas Anderson collection.
My first ever Sandler movie was Bullet Proof, but I didn't think much of it. I totally enjoyed The Wedding Singer (1998) and hated The Waterboy (1998). Big Daddy (1999) was ok but Little Nicky was a pain to watch. Never seen any of his movies made before Bullet Proof and none he made after Punch-Drunk Love. And I have no desire to catch up. Amazingly enough, Sandler is a big box office draw so people must really like him. Can't say that I do. Title: Re: That's My Boy! Post by: HappyGilmore on June 17, 2012, 02:21:21 PM Billy Madison was decent.
Happy Gilmore stands as his best film. And...James Caan is in this. Title: Re: That's My Boy! Post by: bob on June 18, 2012, 12:29:50 AM A big step up from Jack and Jill and Bucky Larson. A movie about a rat getting killed in a trap would be a big step up from Bucky Larson..............RRRRRRRRRRRATED R. Title: Re: That's My Boy! Post by: HappyGilmore on June 18, 2012, 04:17:13 PM Sandler's cd's were R-Rated.
His movies were PG-13, a step down. Should stick to R-Rated films. Boy was very enjoyable. |
