That's My Boy (2012)

Never been Adam Sandler fan, but watched a few films with him that were somehow funny and watchable. This film, on the other hand, starts bad and then it gets worse. The whole premise with 13 year old boy banging his teacher is a great idea for opening of a comedy... for 12 year old, perhaps. Then we go to adult version of our protagonist and we get Redneck Sandler who, possibly to add more humour, speaks with a voice/tone/style/word choice of a kid. Here and there we see him confronted with 'normal' people and see how funny it is when, for example, he's masturbating to a photograph of some old grandma. Situations/jokes that are supposed to be funny are in most cases based on shocking/disgusting the viewer. Don't get me wrong, I know that there are different types of jokes, and I like crude/vulgar humour. But then I expect it to be added without contempt to a viewer's intelligence. In this film it looked as if the 12 year old boys made a film for themselves.

I felt dumber with every minute I spent watching and that's my final word on this production.
