THAT'S MY BOY
There are probably only a handful of comedic actors or writers who have the balls to take on the subject of a young student and
teacher tryst that leads to the teacher being impregnated.Sure Lifetime has produced a few dramas on the subject
but THAT'S MY BOY is definitley not a T.V movie
It's a raunchy to the 100th power ,humorous look at the before and after unions that seem to be happening daily across the U.S.
Donny Berger (Justin Weaver) has an affair with his 22-year-old teacher, Mary McGarricle (the gorgeous Eva Amurri).
She goes to jail leaving Donny and his father to raise Han Solo Berger/Todd Petersen(Andy Samberg)
In 2012, Donny (Adam Sandler) finds himself owing the IRS 43 grand,so he looks up Han/Todd for the cash a few days
before his wedding.
TMB has an extremely funny start,and there is a one liner that you will likely never hear in a film again,but whats odd is that when
one joke works attempts are made to extend it into 15 minute scene that becomes annoying instead of funny.
Samberg who was so inventive on Saturday Night Live,is the straight man for 95% of the film to the antics of Sandler and
a who's who of SNL and stand up comedy.
20 minutes should have been cut from the film which starts to feel far to long once the laughs stop.
Wait for cable
