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.

Tim Grierson

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.

Unless you're an Adam Sandler completist or a Vanilla Ice die-hard, feel free to skip this one.

This movie is so fukking disgusting and hysterical and you’re not a die hard Happy Maddison fan you just simply don’t get it or maybe you take comedy way too seriously. Either way I laughed my ass off!!!

I don't understand why people hate this movie. Yeah, it wasn't Adams best role, but this was funny and original. It is so stupid to the point where its good. I watched it on Netflix and its good. Ignore the other reviews, I liked it.

What to say about this flick? It’s bad. Although Adam Sandler has proven he can act, this movie seems to prove otherwise. Bad acting, stupid script. This is quantity over quality, not worth your time or money.
