Critics Consensus

While it does represent a new foray into raunch for the normally PG-13 Sandler, That's My Boy finds him repeating himself to diminishing effect - and dragging Andy Samberg down with him.

Yet again Adam Sandler has taken a fairly clever concept for a broad comedy and just detonated it with some of the stupidest, most repetitive gags imaginable.

Not nearly as terrible as burped-out Sandler disasters of recent years, there's enough funny stuff here to remind us of his talent.

Sandler continues to play the same idiot character he has done since "Billy Madison" and "Happy Gilmore," but the difference is this guy lacks any of the innocent charm that helped make those movies work.

Unless you're an Adam Sandler completist or a Vanilla Ice die-hard, feel free to skip this one.

That's My Boy is a crude, over-the-top comedy, but it at least has bursts of energy and a few moments that actually land better than expected. While it’s far from perfect, it has a more consistent sense of humor and pacing that keeps it somewhat watchable. In comparison, Jack and Jill feels much more forced and repetitive, relying heavily on gags that quickly wear thin. The humor is less effective overall, and the film struggles to maintain any real momentum or comedic variety. Overall, neither film is particularly strong, but That’s My Boy comes out slightly ahead simply because it manages to be a bit more entertaining and less draining to sit through. Still, both are rough watches in their own way. I rate it a 2/10.
