06/14/2016 Run of the mill Dean and Jerry. Not their worst, but certainly not their best. See more 11/24/2012 Just like in 'My Friend Irma' Lewis and Martin steal the show despite the fact the best actor in the show is Eddie Mayehoff. In a nutshell 'That's My Boy' is a fun comedy worth watching, but don't expect something large. See more 09/28/2009 Jerry's character is so shy and restrained that he doesn't get to do what he does best, which is being completely spastic. The movie is unoriginal, predictable and really kind of boring. Dino is quite the unlikeable tool in it as well. And at age 33, he's the least convincing college freshman ever. I'll give it some points for a few funny Jerry moments, but there aren't nearly enough of them. See more Read all reviews
