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.

There are several scenes where the cast is trying to hard to be funny making it cringe-worthy

This movie is over the top. It's an Adam Sandler comedy. The movie is supposed to be stupid. The movie is supposed to be over the top. This is a movie you turn on for laughs. For all the people giving it bad reviews, they know what they are getting. It's not meant to be taken seriously or have any substances. I love the performance between the actors. Good comedy to watch.

Deadspin

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.

Time Out

The basic joke keeps on giving and the sweetness of the parent-child bonding scenes plays well.

Bowling Green Daily News

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.
