That's My Boy

I admit that I am not without a wicked sense of humor. I will also admit that I have found over the years a lot of raunchy gags in R rated movies to be funny. But with "That's My Boy", I found the relentless cascade of raunchy gags to be extremely excessive. Maybe it wouldn't have been so bad had the gags been funny. Though I will admit that I found a handful of gags in the movie to be funny, the majority of the attempts at humor seemed to have an air of desperation around them. It was like a pre- teenager struggling to come up with a non-stop bombardment of gags using only a bunch of dirty joke books as reference. Eventually the humor becomes agonizing to sit through, not helped by Sandler giving his character an extremely annoying voice as well as the fact that the movie is stretched out to a much too long length of ALMOST TWO HOURS!

By the way, the disappointing box office gross of this movie (as well as the one for his previous movie "Jack & Jill" suggests that audiences may be tiring of Sandler's shtick. If you ask me, it's about time.
