That’s My Boy Review

Adam Sandler's first proper adult comedy in years was ripped apart by critics in the States. It’s possible, though, that Sandler’s reputation preceded him. For, while That’s My Boy — in which Sandler is an unreconstructed manchild who reconnects with his estranged son (Andy Samberg) on the eve of his wedding — is as puerile and infantile as Sandler’s recent hands-free efforts, like Grown Ups and Jack & Jill, there’s actually something surprising here that we haven’t seen from Sandler for a while: jokes. There’s a sleazy, raucous inventiveness at play here, which often goes places few R-rated comedies dare to venture.
