Pretty good

This film is pretty funny, considering Jack and Jill was completelyawful this is great, looks like Adam is turning his career back aroundcos this film was funny! Its also great to have samberg on the cast asa fan of lonely island i was very happy! It is definitely worth a wotchmake sure you see it if you are a sandler fan or lonely island fan itsreally crude and there's al;so lots of boobs so what more could youwant??? I watched with my girlfriend and we both thought it was funnyand the rest of the cinema was laughing also so i think maybe the otherbad reviews are people still angry with Sandler for making Jack andJill.

Much better than Jack and Jill

This movie is so much better than Jack and Jill. I can't understand thepeople giving it a bad review and saying that it's worse than Jack andJill when it actually is much much better. I say well done to themakers of this movie and to Sandler. The movie is about a boy, Donny,who falls in love with his teacher and they have sex, resulting in themgetting caught. This also results in a pregnancy and Donny becomes ateenage dad. The mother of his child gets prison for 30 years, chargedfor child molestation. Sure, it is a really serious case. But it's acomedy! It's a really funny movie. Anyway, many years later Donny needsto pay 45000 dollars, because he hasn't payed taxes since '94. He thenfinds his son, originally named Han Solo Burger, and find out he is areally successful guy in the financial business, but he has changed hisname to Tom Peterson. He figure he might get help from him. So hevisits his son, played by Andy Samberg. However, nobody knows thatDonny is the father of Tom and that his real name is Han Solo. Hedoesn't want anyone to know about him being a result of ateenage-teacher bang. This eventually comes with a lot of problems andidiotic moves. I won't tell you too much about this movie though, asyou might want to watch it yourself. Later on Donny discovers that hisson's girlfriend is cheating on Tom, with her brother. Since she knewDonny needed money, she paid him 50 grand to be silent about that.Later on, Donny knew it wasn't right to do, so he and Vanilla Ice go ona journey to stop the wedding and tell them the truth. Everyone isshocked when hearing the truth,and the wedding is off. Tom then changeshis name back to Han Solo Burger and turns into a real d i c k justlike his father Donny. I can't believe the people who take this tooserious. I mean, it's meant to be stupid, it's meant to be vulgar andidiotic. I like that kind of humor. I hated Jack and Jill. But this isa big improvement. Though, there is a couple of unnecessary scenes inthis movie, it still is funny. I say, well done! But one thing i hateabout Sandler though, is his accent. I mean, it's freaking stupid! Iknow he is used to acting stupid like in Billy Madison and HappyGilmore etc but i think this character didn't need to have that type ofvoice, and that was one of the things that annoyed me because itreminded me a lot about his acting in Jack and Jill. Overall, it is areally funny movie. If you don't like pointless, stupid/silly, andvulgar movies, don't bother watching this one cause it will end updisappointing you. Overall 8/10.

That's My Boy...1 out of 4 Skittles

Adam Sandler is back at wasting the time and money of movie viewersonce again. It seems like Sandler follows a simple formula…he comes upwith a funny voice and attempts to make a movie out of it. He's done itbefore with The Waterboy & Little Nicky, and sadly, I'm sure he will doit again. It's obvious Sandler enjoys making movies that immature guyswill find funny, and he doesn't seem to be looking to change. And whyshould he…people keep paying money to see his Happy Madisonproductions.But the honesty of the situation is this…his latest film installment,like most of his recent flicks (Jack and Jill, Just Go With It, YouDon't Mess With The Zohan, I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry,Click…shall I keep going?) absolutely stinks. Actually, saying itstinks is letting That's My Boy off the hook way to easy. It's abysmal.It's a nearly 2 hour movie the feels like it lasts 4. From the moroniccasting of people who can't act (Vanilla Ice, Ciara & New York Jetsfootball coach Rex Ryan), to the jokes so forced they seem to bewritten by a panel of fart and puke loving 12-year-olds, to Sandler'sstupid Boston accent that loses any sign of amusement within the first10 minutes of screen time.It's sad to see Sandler refuse to grow as an actor, especially since hehas shown glimpses of what he can accomplish with the right project(Punch Drunk Love, Funny People). That's My Boy is what is…a very dumb,rarely funny comedy (if you can classify it as a comedy). I supposethose who have enjoyed his other stink bombs might get a kick out ofthis one too, but if you're on the opposite spectrum of comedy filmslike me and enjoy believable stories that seem to be grounded on thisplanet, do yourself a favor and see Safety Not Guaranteed or SearchingFor a Friend for the End of the World instead. You'll be much happierthat you did.For more quick reviews check out www.FilmStallion.com

Embarraassing

So sad to realise there are a lot of people who enjoyed this film.Maybe I'm too old or something? The American public is dumbed down morethan I thought, if this kind of nonsense is distributed to thepopulation as entertainment. I'm sure Adam Sandler is capable of betteracting. Maybe he was desperate for money at the time or something, buthe has certainly lowered the bar with this film. Watching it on DVD wastantamount to having my teeth extracted without aneasthetic(believe meI have had a tooth extracted without aneasthetic),doable yet traumatic.I always try to watch any film through to the end just in case itredeems itself somehow, but this rot is embarrassing to anybody withany brains.

One of the best movies of all time ... A must see!!!!!!!!!

Adam Sandler is starting to show his true acting range with his lasttwo epics, first Jack and Jill and now That's my boy. Beyond thecomedic genius that is Adam is the heart-warming and enduring charmthat he brings to the screen. It's a wonder why the great directors,like Scorcese and Tarrantino, have not developed roles for such agifted talent. If he were to spread his wings further and expand toeven meatier roles, although one could argue that his recent roles areaward worthy, he would certainly be linked with some of the greatestactors of all time. This film may go down as one of the greatestcomedies and possibly a top 10 all-time movie, with the likes of theGodfather and so many other enduring classics. Adam creates a characteron screen that will go down in the annals of history as one of the mostmemorable personas on the silver screen. Andy Samberg also provides awitty, comedic partner to Adam's character, but unfortunately cannotmatch the theatrical genius that is Adam Sandler.

Funnest movie of the year

Such a fun film to watch! It's about time too because i've beenthoroughly disappointed with the films i've seen so far this year. Andalso thoroughly disappointed with the crap films that Happy Madison hasbeen cranking out over the past few years. But finally, this moviecomes along and takes us for a hell of a ride and such a fun show. Ithink it's the best film that Adam Sandler and his crew have puttogether since Grandma's boy. A lot of people harp on the Boston accentthat Sandler puts on in this movie but trust me it's not that bad andhis character is so funny and careless about anything that you stopnoticing it anyway. This movie never stops being funny and outrageousfor a second and i sincerely hope that Happy Madison decides to makemore movies like this one.

Just great and real funny movie,i don't remember when i laugh this much

Don't understand that bad reviews, it doesn't have any sense,first ofall, because of that reviews I didn't even want to watch to movie butI'm so glad that i watch it, cos the movie is great. If you love AdamSandler, and love crazy humor, this movie is for you, I honestly don'tremember when i laugh this much...Don't understand why people criticizeAdam Sandler so much this days, and i just read that here, all peoplewho had speak to me about the film said that they laugh so much andthat the movie is so funny, and it's really interesting and fun, itlast almost 2 hours but the times fly so fast...So to the people thatDIDN'T WATCH THE MOVIE,DON'T PAY ATTENTION TO THE BAD REVIEWS,WATCH THEFILM,YOU WANT BE Disappointed. If you loved Sandlers "Big Daddy", youwill love this one to.For mi it is 10 out of 10!

A comedy or a pathetic mockery!?

It's starts off kinda breezy. There are no "laugh-out-like-crazy"moments anywhere in it, but initially there are some jokes that mightjust manage to tickle you. But even then, those jokes are so patchy andso long spaced out that you'll hardly find it worth waiting for! But 45minutes through, the graph goes down, and every time you think, "howmuch more worse could it get?" it goes one step lower! By the time yousit through the compete run time of That's My Boy, you will be gladthat it's over.With the exceptions of Adam Sandler and Leighton Meester (who again,were just above average) everybody else would fall flat on the groundwhen you talk about acting! If you have 120 minutes spare time and youprefer to watch this, please sleep!

Funniest movie of the year!

In the 1990s, Adam Sandler starred in three of the funniest, mostjuvenile comedies of all time: Billy Madison, Happy Gilmore, and BigDaddy. Despite being destroyed by critics, all three of these movieswent on to gain big cult followings and, in my opinion, hold upextremely well today. In the decade that followed, Sandler went on toproduce films through Happy Madison Productions at a rapid rate,generally one or more a year. The quality of these varied, but theworst ones were those that simply tried to replicate either story beatsor gags from his hits from the 90s. With this year's That's My Boy,Sandler went in a direction none of his previous Happy MadisonProductions had gone before: a definitely not-for-the-kids, hardR-rated comedy. Even if this may have contributed to the poor boxoffice performance of That's My Boy, it also made it the funniest movieof the year and Sandler's best work in over ten years. That's My Boyisn't rated R simply for a few F-bombs were a few crude comments, it'srated R for pretty much everything (except violence). This is anaudaciously dirty flick, one that opens by pushing the envelope andnever lets up. In the first ten minutes alone, the filmmakers basicallydeclare war on good taste and do their best to go for the filthy atalmost every opportunity from that point on. It's almost as if Sandlerand friends kept a huge notebook of gags they knew were too out therefor their previous PG-13 efforts and decided to put every single one ofthem into this. Had these jokes not been funny, this could have beenterrible to sit through and indeed some people may not enjoy it at all,but I personally found most of it hilarious. While some may argue thatthis is more of a gross-out exercise than a legitimate piece of cinema,director Sean Anders at least tries to make the audience have a mildemotional connection to the main characters and, to me, is rathersuccessful. These aren't complex characters, but they are fun andinteresting even if they aren't 100% likable all the time. Sandler hasnever been funnier and despite talking in a typical goofy Sandlervoice, makes Donny his most memorable character in quite some time (Ilove the open beer in almost every scene). What makes Sandler'sperformance really work is that no matter how absurd or mean thecharacter may be at times, his love for his son is still believablewithin the context of the film and not something that is shoe-hornedinto the story to give it some heart. As his son, Andy Samberg is ableto hold his own and gives his best comedic performance to date. The twohave a really entertaining chemistry as father and son even thoughtheir age difference isn't that huge (it's explained). The inspiredpairing of Sandler and Samberg, along with the excellent fast-paceddirection from Anders, make this the funniest movie I've seen in years.The story can be picked apart if analyzed deep enough and everyone canattack it on the grounds that it is stupid, but I had a great time withit. There are few things better than being provided with solid laughsfor a little bit and with that mindset, That's My Boy delivered for me.9/10

"That's My Boy" - Review by Brandon Krzysztof

"That's My Boy" is a slap stick comedy that uses crude and vulgar humorto make the audience fall out of their seats laughing. Besides "21 JumpStreet," the audience hasn't really been presented with many slap stickcomedies in 2012. With the lack of these comedies being made, with aname like Adam Sandler attached to the project it can be expected forthis movie to relish in the box office. The movie stars Adam Sandler who plays Donny Berger, who at age 14 hassex with one his teachers and ends up fathering a child. Years past andDonny has four himself in trouble and ends up owing money to the IRS;if he doesn't pay the money by the end of the weekend he will be sentto prison. Donny finds out that his son, played by Andy Samberg, isgetting married the same weekend and believes that this is his goldenticket to getting the money he needs.The pace of this film is pretty moderate; there is barely any slowparts in the film. The acting was okay, but it's pretty hard to judgeAdam Sandler's performance because he is known to act kind of childishin his 90s films. There wasn't any performances in this movie that mademe cringe. I will just come out and say that this film made me laugh. Ido prefer comedies that don't use cuss words and vulgar jokes to gettheir laughs, but Adam Sandler movies will feature crudeness anddisgusting jokes; even though I thought some were forced, I did thinkthey worked out in this movie. That plot is simple and the end is predictable, but the movie knows itis made to do and that is to make you laugh as much as it can and itdid just that. If you are an Adam Sandler or a Saturday Night Live fan,this movie will make you happy. I give this movie 2 1/2 stars out of 4.If you liked this review you can reach me on:twitter @bksta facebook.com/bkrzysztof bkstaReviews.blogspot.com

What a piece of crap.

What a piece of crap. What a poor excuse for a teen movie. The writersshould be ashamed and hang their heads when they cash each and everdollar they earn peddling such absolute garbage.I realize each movie (generation) has to outdo or out-shock the last,but this is the bottom of the barrel, the end of the line, the worst ofthe worst, the cheapest of the cheap. Teen targeted movies have alwaystried to shock and amuse but this is utter trash which is just completefilth. Do you get the idea I don't like it? Ask yourself what we are doing toour younger generations. God help us if this is the answer to how wewant our children to learn to act. Good writers can make anentertaining, exciting movie without all the filthy, cheap, degradinglanguage which contributes absolutely nothing but negativity to a oncecultural medium.

Vile and Atrocious

Who lets 9-14 year old child actors be involved in a film like this? Wesee a 30-yr-old teacher open her blouse and seduce a young boy. We hearthem having sex in the back room while another young boy listens in. Wehear (and then see!) them having sex on stage in front of a room fullof other middle school age kids, who end up applauding the show.Absolutely appalling. Truly disgusting. This is humor? This is what welaugh at today?I've been talking about middle-schoolers, but yes, I did mention9-year- olds. Later in the film, when a truly abhorrent sexual devianceis mentioned, a very young - I'm guessing around 9 - brother and sisterlook at each other in horror. Big laugh! Sick. The people who wrotethis filth, and then dragged a bunch of young kids into it are truedegenerates. Most adults - I hope - would protect their children frommoral sewage like this. But these "adults" shoved these kids right intoit. That's just the tip of this rotten iceberg. Gross and sexual humor canbe funny, I'll admit. However, this film has no humor beyond what'sgenerated by shocking the audience's sensibilities. But can we beshocked any more? I hope so, because if this is our new level ofcultural jadedness, I hate to see where we're headed next as a society.Do yourself and your family a favor, and avoid this atrocity. Spendyour time and money and thoughts on something with actual entertainmentvalue, decent acting, and true comedy.

Washed up guy try's to win back his sons affection

A lot of negative reviews posted here so far, I disagree with most.These people think they are paid movie critics, or at least thats howignorant they sound. This movie was meant to be dumb, slap-stick,sketch-like, goofy, over the top vulgar. They pushed the limits to makeit more like something that Adam hasn't done before, and I commend themon that. It had me thinking sometimes they went overboard, but it wasstill funny unless you have no sense of humor. The cast was great alongwith the classic things Adam does in all his films. I will say hisaccent was pretty bad most of the time, but maybe it was supposed tobe. I will give it more credit than most because I couldn't watch morethan 5 min of Jack and Jill then I was done. Compare the 2 films andthis one was quite a triumph. I think the vulgar scenes are what hurtit in the box office and word of mouth. But you have to admit its aballsy move during the summertime, with a $70,000,000 budget. Anyway,Ignore the bad reviews from other people and give it a shot if your anold school Adam Sandler fan.

I'm beginning to wonder if Adam Sandler has anything left

I am certain that this review will receive all kinds of hate. Why?Because people seem to love stupid. But then movies like this onearen't making money...in fact they are losing money...so I think I ammore right than wrong. Adam Sandler was king of the comedy box officefor a long time. Even his "bad" movies made 50 million dollar openings.But now his summer blockbusters tend to fall flat with movie goers(Jack and Jill and now this.) I didn't think a Sandler movie could getmuch worse than Jack and Jill...I was wrong. That's My Boy is literallythe biggest, most immature excuse to use naughty words and talk aboutsex I have ever seen. It is reduced to utter garbage by sheer childishhumour with no story and disgusting jokes that boils this down to beingcomplete garbage. I think the film was probably created strictly on thebasis that people always say Andy Samberg looks like Sandler. Then theysat around saying bad words and laughing at their own stupidity. It wasjust painful to watch. Shock humour rarely works. You can yell out bodyparts all you want, that doesn't make it funny to anyone with even aquarter of a brain or someone older than 5.I don't doubt Adam Sandler's abilities. He is a talented comedian,producer, and actor. He has proved his ability in movies like PunchDrunk Love, Click, Spanglish, and even his more silly comedies like BigDaddy or the hilarious Wedding Singer. But is just plain reducinghimself to nothing in this. And enough with the stupid voice already. Idon't know why he thinks talking like that is funny but its not. It'sstupid. Andy Samberg is brought down by this film. I don't think hecould ever carry his own movie anyways but he just looks like he'sfighting to perform in one of the worst things ever written. LeightonMeester who I like a lot is actually probably one of the highlights ofthe film as the uptight rich fiancГѓВ© of Samberg (like that would everhappen.) But eventually she too is reduced to spewing obscenities andsex terms in order to be funny. Milo Ventimiglia is just awful as astupid, pumped up goon that they use to further the weak story. Heshould be ashamed of this. The supporting cast might be the only savinggrace for this. A cameo from Vanilla Ice is actually almost amusing andperformances by Blake Clark and Tony Orlando are welcomed but hardlyused. Other supporting members from the SNL alumni catalogue are awful,annoying and ridiculous.Basically everyone involved in this should be ashamed and anyone whofound this even remote amusing needs their head examined. I know toeach their own when it comes to movies but this was bad...really bad. Ithought after seeing The Dictator recently that comedies couldn't getworse but this was worse. Director Sean Anders should stick to writingbecause he has actually written some half decent comedies but I can'teven blame him because the script for this just had to be awful. I onlyblame him for even taking the job. Basically, you'll see this if youlike Sandler or think you're in for a gross out comedy but I won'trecommend it to anyone...ever. This is Sandler's swan song becauseyou'd have to do an awful lot of convincing to get me to pay for aSandler movie again for a very long time. 1/10

Ice is back with his brand new invention

And his brand new invention is acting. Although you could argue thepoint that playing oneself might not be considered acting, I can'treally tell, because I don't know who the real "Vanilla Ice" is. What Ican say is that he almost steals the entire movie from establishedactors. And he's not shying back on making fun of himself. In a goodway that is. Sandler and Samberg on the other hand sound way better onpaper than they are on screen.Don't get me wrong, compared to "Jack and Jill" (or some of his/Adamsother lame comedies) this looks like a masterpiece! But the trailer didsuggest more fun than you actually might have. Some odd cameos (Adamalways gets whoever he wants to or at least it looks that way) that Iwon't spoil are fun and the tone gets set pretty early on. The R-ratingis there for a reason and it touches a nice subject matter. Of courseyou won't get too deep into the whole thing (no pun intended), but itmakes for awkward (=fun?) comedy time.It's really predictable, but if you let yourself enjoy it (and you willknow if it is for you right off the bat!), you will have a good timewatching it

F*cking funny movie

Screw all those who hate this movie and talking about moral issueshere, it is a comedy movie, it has NOTHING to do with reality.In the beginning the young Adam Sandler gets seduced by his teacher, isshe a pedophile? Sure she is, is it real? NO!! It was just so theycould set up a really young father so they can create a hilariousmovie. This movie never was intended to be serious, so all that happensshould be looked at with a wink. Was the acting good? No. Did it need to be good? F*ck no! The wholesituation and setting is hilarious, now do we need good acting tolaugh? Quite frankly, my opinion is that most no brain comedies arefunnier when the acting isn't that good (OK it shouldn't be overly badeither, but this was just perfectly in between).And all the weird characters gave this movie a genius boost (like thefat black stripper, the pretty boy jazz dancing incest having brotherand such)I would recommend this to anyone who is into movies you don't have tothink, to people who like Adam Sandler, who people who smoke weed, topeople who aren't stuck up, to people who don't pretend to be somegenius critic, to people who just want to laugh.I really don't understand all the haters and moral tree huggers here.This movie was just a good old hilarious laugh, almost non-stop. I think, after Jack an Jill, Adam Sandler is back with this movie. WhenI go to see an Adam Sandler movie, I don't expect to be seeing greatacting (even though I really didn't like Jack and Jill) I expect to seea hilarious over acted movie.

this is a funny movie with Adam Sandler in it. Not a movie trying to win an Oscar like some of you criticize it.

This film was classic Sandler! I urge any body reading this to watchthis movie if you have not watched it yet. Don't pay attention tocritics that constantly bash on Adam Sandler films. He doesn't deliverdramatic thrillers up for Oscars but if you wanna laugh, just watch"Thats my boy". It was written & directed like any Sandler film! bloodyhilarious,great cameo's & a nice finish. Don't walk into a Mcdonalds &complain about how greasy & unhealthy the food is. Any bad review ofthis film are coming from people who for some reason think Adam Sandlerfilms are are supposed to be intelligently written & masterfullydirected. That has never been the case. I watched the film thankfully,even after reading the bad reviews on this site & i laughed & evenopened an IMDb account just so i could write how much i enjoyed thisfilm. Watch it if you like Sandler films & don't if you've alreadydecided that you hate his brand of humour. This is in between the waterboy & hot rod. Both of those films were worth watching.8/10 for aSandler rating.Not a 5 that IMDb is showing.

Not your average comedy...

I had no particular high expectations for this movie when I sat downand watched it, as it is an Adam Sandler movie, and they all have atendency of being remarkably generic and seem to be cut from the samerock.However, I did enjoy this movie actually, because of the twisted,bizarre storyline that it had. It was abstract and absurd to the pointof being great. Sure, the jokes in the movie weren't all that great,and the movie didn't really hold a lot of laughs. But still there wassomething uniquely enjoyable about it.The characters in the movie were also nicely thought up and had somereally great quirks. Each and every characters was bizarre in their ownspecial way and came together for a greater whole in a nice way.I must admit that it was difficult to sit and listen to Adam Sandler dothat strained and hoarse voice that he seems to enjoy do and put onthat horrible accent. You just want to ram something in your ears attimes. However, in my opinion, it wasn't Adam Sandler who was carryingthis movie, it was Andy Samberg by far."That's My Boy" has some a pretty great list of people cast for thevarious roles. And hats off to Andy Samberg for his performance in thismovie. And, although a fairly small role, then James Caan really had anamazing cameo in this movie with a great character. And also wacky NickSwardson had a really hilarious character in the movie. Odd though foran Adam Sandler movie that you didn't have Rob Schneider in the movie.Personally, I am not much fan of Adam Sandler as I believe that onceyou've seen one of his movies, you've basically seen them all. Therehas only been a handful of his movie that have stood out in my opinion,"Anger Management", "Click" and now "That's My Boy".Don't expect to be in for a 116 minute of laughter, because they arefar apart. However, the characters, the twisted storyline and theabsurdity of it all makes the movie worth a watch.

am i the only one who mildly enjoyed it?!?!?!?

Yes, its not nearly as good as anything Sandler starred in in the 90'sbut i would argue that its about on par with most of the stuff he'sbeen in in the 00's laugh wise. (On the scale of movies from the 00's,Ithink its probably the equivalent to "I Now Pronounce You Chuck AndLarry" if only Andy Samburg were as good playing off of Sandler asKevin James was. Samburg's not bad, but the movie really doesn't lethim do anything outside being the straight man here.) Its certainly gotmore laughs in it then Jack and Jill at the least. No, not everythingthat's in it is funny, yes it goes on for way, way, way longer then itshould. Yes, some of the jokes are pretty awful. Yes the premise isquite unbelievable. (30 years after the student/teacher affair scandalrocked the tabloids--why would random people still know who Sandler'scharacter is by sight? especially if he hasn't been in the media in agood decade or two at that point and he was near completely broke???)Plot holes aside I would still be lying if i said that i didn't laughat a fair number of things that happen throughout the film, and i wouldbe lying if i said that i didn't think the semi serious scenes betweenSandler and Samburg didn't work. I thought they were really effective.The scene where Sandler is hugging Samburg and tells him he regretsletting him go all those years ago and that he wished he'd been abetter dad and samburg drunkenly forgiving him and kind of shruggingoff the years of resentment actually felt heartfelt and genuine. That'sreally what drunken forgiveness looks like. It was kind of similar tothe scenes in "Chuck and Larry" where Sandler stands up in open courtand says how he feels flat out about people who call him names and howmuch they hurt more then he'd ever care to admit in public. Sure thosescenes were written to give both films some semblance of dramaticheft--and to give Sandler something dramatic to play-but to me theywere both effective, and they both show how even in somewhat tossed offcomedies Sandler can still manage to maintain his dignity on screen andcome off as a better actor then the material. Maybe he really hasbecome a better actor as he's gotten older, because i really think he'sa lot better at playing these serious heartfelt moments towards thelast half hour of his films where his character is supposed to learn alesson then he's ever been before. (Especially in something like Clickwhere the humor turns much more bittersweet in the last half) Itsbecause I felt that Sandler geuinely wanted to be a better person tohis kid, that i thought the ending worked, (even if the end reveal doeskind of come out of nowhere) and i thought the movie to be a resonablygood time if you've liked sandler's movies these past number of yearsmore or less....and c'mon some of the things happening are prettyfunny.Also the very quick scene with Vanilla Ice where Sandler asks him todrive him at the end and Vanilla goes "You Kidding Me????" and thenstrikes a pose and then Sandler waits a beat and says "Is that a yes ora no? I don't know what that pose means Ice." was pretty hilarious--andthat was just a tossed off thing. (Why wouldn't Sandler's character befriends with Vanilla Ice anyways???)

So glad didn't watch this movie in theaters...

Happy I didn't waste money by watching in theaters... But I regret evenrenting this awful movie on even Redbox! And I paid .30 for it. Notworth it and I've been a long fan of Adam's movies. And this oneactually made me write a review. Get your acting together and stopmaking awful movies you have never made before! You're losing long timefans who were happy about the work you got famous for! Not thisterrible acting and movie play. Hopefully you'll have a movie come outsoon that has some good roots and shows your actual talent...or is thatlost? Hope not! I had maybe a smirk throughout this movie, and that'snever happened watching your others. Well, I couldn't watch the wholemovie when you were Jack and Jill.. Disappointing.. So disappointing.
