MOVIE REVIEW: That's My Boy

For my generation who grew up watching Adam Sandler films such as Happy Gilmore and Billy Madison while struggling to finish our collegiate years, That's My Boy feels like the child of the two above mentioned movies, who like us grew up but still retained the naughty child in us.
Sandler plays Donny Berger, who impregnated his teacher Miss McGarricle (Eva Amurri Martino) while on his early teens in school, thus having a son Han Solo (Andy Samberg) who does not want to do anything with him for he's a loud mouthed alcoholic who basically did not grow up as a person. He moved out of his Dad when he was 18, even changed his changed his given name to Todd and had a career as a hedge fund manager.
When Donny found out that his son is getting married, he shows up uninvited to the pre-wedding happenings and that's when all the craziness begins.
This is classic Adam Sandler, this time you would actually be rooting for him. I never thought that Samberg, best known for his SNL's skits such as the Emmy winning Dick in a Box with Justin Timberlake, would effectively play the part of the serious son. Both of them have similar features and the casting of them as father and son was perfect in my opinion.
I had never laughed so far in any recent Adam Sandler movies than this. After the crap that was Jack and Jill, I hope that audiences who like me, loved the laughs that Happy Gilmore and Billy Madison provided, to give That's My Boy a peek.
