negative · AI labelView post →HAHAHAHAHA, PlutoTV has the wrong That's My Boy movie 🤣 It's supposed to be the Adam Sandler one. They're showing the Jerry Lewis one from 1951, I'm crying

negative · AI labelView post →Nowadays, That's My Boy (2012) is the number one worst movie I have ever seen in my life, and that is truly a movie that should have been the number one worst movie of all time for me that whole time.
negative · AI labelView post →In case anyone was curious, the "Ib" one is "Big Daddy". I somehow accidentally (??) discovered that the "Mad Father" one is called "That's My Boy" while trying to figure out the movie from the Off poster in the post below.

negative · AI labelView post →Figured I should finish my thoughts on several of my remaining movies since I forgot about them. Night of the Lepus: Good idea, needed to make the killer rabbits a bit more scary and not have several characters be so dumb. That's My Boy: Still the worst Adam Sandler movie that I've seen hands down

We'll finish with the BBC Christmas film, Bernard & The Genie starring Alan Cumming and Lenny Henry from 1991 twitch.tv/alidoolalli
neutral · AI labelView post →My brother says the name "Ted Peterson" similarly to how the character Donny (Played by Adam Sandler) from That's My Boy (2012 film) says "Todd Peterson". Gets me every time. Can't find a good quality clip on YT, so I'm unable to provide further context. Oh and the movie may not be worth a watch.
negative · AI labelView post →I saw Highlander 2 at the cinemas the day it was released. I have never been more disappointed in a movie in my life, and I've seen 'Jack and Jill' and 'That's My Boy'.
negative · AI labelView post →That's My Boy, a terrible Adam Sandler movie my date insisted was great. Every time there was a penis joke he'd jab me with his elbow and howl with laughter. He invited me to his place after the movie. I declined and was thankful he didn't have my phone number.
negative · AI labelView post →39. The Wedding Ringer 💍 This played right after 'That's My Boy' but seeing Kevin Hart, how could I refuse? Another hilarious film, when does Kevin Hart disappoint? 🤭 I did feel bad for Doug tho bc literally making friends as an adult can be hard The Josh Peck scene tho👀 didn't expect to see him
neutral · AI labelView post →Well some of us didn't get rotated back home when they got their boots muddy with "Pixels". Some of us were sent over the top for "That's My Boy" (easily his worst film and perhaps, morally, the worst film of the era)
negative · AI labelView post →He's actually pretty good in the otherwise regrettable Adam Sandler/Andy Samberg movie That's My Boy.
negative · AI labelView post →If you have not seen That's My Boy (2012), then I HIGHLY don't recommend watching that movie at all, and I also recommend putting that movie on your blacklist if you have one made because you will highly regret watching that movie.
negative · AI labelView post →It's really hard to pick one. I know the angriest I've ever been after a movie is Episode IX but I don't think it's the worst. Terrible. But not the worst. It's probably That's My Boy, which I was almost literally dragged to.
negative · AI labelView post →I don't recommend That's My Boy. You can watch it if you want to, I won't stop you. I didn't despise it but it was... uh. It was a film. *nods*

positive · AI labelView post →The worst film I watched was probably Gigli... Or That's My Boy... Or Alice in Wonderland.
negative · AI labelView post →I would only make an exception for That's My Boy, no one on Earth should ever be subjected to that film again
negative · AI labelView post →82) That's My Boy Adam Sandler movies can be kinda funny when you don't have a film bro in your ear saying they're too lowbrow. I'm kind of amazed how fucking long Adam Sandler could keep that voice going. I'd wanna tear my throat out.
neutral · AI labelView post →Would be the dream to waste my time and money sitting in a movie theatre watching Old Dads, The Family Switch, Lift or a repertory screening of That's My Boy and cackling all the way through like Max Cady
neutral · AI labelView post →Oh shit, I thought it was the Adam Sandler movie That's My Boy, where she also played a pedo teacher. Fucking weird that happened twice.
neutral · AI labelView post →Bad watch, won't watch again, and can't recommend. I really couldn't believe I didn't know about this movie before. I've organized a series of Happy Madison watch parties before, but after watching it, then I know why I didn't know about ti. Now I'm not a big fan of either Adam Sandler (though he has movies I enjoy, repeatedly) or Andy Samberg (I think he's better at creating comedy than performing it), but this was really like he was at a party with a big head and bet someone that he could…
negative · AI labelView post →Risible! That's My Boy finds Adam Sandler on auto pilot, for this represents him not giving a care in the world about his fans or anyone remotely interested in watching a decent comedy. Sure this has fans, and it's not my want to chastise people's personal preferences, especially with what makes them laugh, and certainly making light of serious issues doesn't have me signing up for the next PC Brigade march, but this is pathetically played. It was a colossal failure at the box offices, and it…
