That's My Boy (2012 film)



That's My Boy is a 2012 comedy film directed by Sean Anders and starring Adam Sandler, Andy Samberg and Leighton Meester. The film received negative reviews for making jokes about statutory rape and incest. It also flopped at the box office.


 * Artistic License Law: Statutory rape can be punished that hard on Massachusetts, but the maximum sentence is actually even worse, for life.
 * Adam Westing: Vanilla Ice plays an exaggerated version of himself.
 * The Alcoholic: Donny. He even said that 20 beers is his limit.
 * Awesome McCoolname: Todd's real name is Han Solo Berger.
 * Cluster F-Bomb: Over 150 F-words were used in that film.
 * Distant Prologue: The beginning is set in 1984.
 * Double Standard Rape: Let's make this very clear: a live-action, almost explicit intercourse between a teenage girl and a grown-up adult man who is her teacher would never be greenlighted as a raunchy comedy in Hollywood. Movie critics were basically quick firing this movie into oblivion and to the bottom of their 2012 lists because of this.
 * Erotic Eating: Marie drinking water is focused on to show her lips in a way it makes like a different kind of water is touching them.
 * Fanservice Extra: Marie is an important character to set up the plot, but she is kicked out of it in five minutes thanks to being sent to prison. In that small time limit she is still naked or showing a lot of skin.
 * Hot Teacher: Eva Marie as Mary on the prologue, which the movie shows on a bikini, making very sexual gestures, and in a form-fitting skirt, and then finally almost naked.
 * Hollywood New England: Donny speaks with an exaggerated Bostonian accent.
 * Punny Name: Todd thinks in-universe being named after a pop culture icon is humiliating, though Han is actually a japanese name.
 * Reality Ensues: The judge hearing the case only gets aggravated by the sheer unrepentance of Marie as she admits her crimes and for having carnal intercourse with a minor.
 * Refuge in Audacity: There is a lot of shock humour in this film. It begins with a preteen covering his crotch to hide an erection and it escalates from there.
 * Refuge in Vulgarity: The humor in the film is very raunchy.
 * Sir Swearsalot: Donny.
