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

It points you toward the irresistible conclusion that for all his success Sandler feels only contempt for his audience and tremendous insecurity about his own stature in the comedy universe.

Surprisingly mean-spirited from start to finish.

Sandler's latest wicked pissah, a paean to let-it-all-hang-out party-guy sloppiness...

If someone told you about almost every joke in That's My Boy, you would think they were either a sociopath or a budding serial killer.

Vulgar, tasteless, mean-spirited and most offensive of all--not funny.

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.

Deadspin

Crass comedy That's My Boy adds close-to-the-knuckle raunchiness to Sandler's usual mix of stupidity and sentimentality.

[M]ay be the most repulsive movie I've ever seen... [L]ike the evil Mirror Universe version of Ted.

That's My Boy isn't as bad as expected. Don't get me wrong - it's a terrible movie - but it's occasionally funny in spite of itself.

I waited until 'tight Tuesdaday' to see it. It was the worst $11.50 I've ever spent. I've bought $11.50 mocktails that gave me more of a buzz than this piece of s---.

The Aristocrat

Given how genuinely impressive he was in the likes of Paul Thomas-Anderson's Punk-Drunk Love and Judd Apatow's Funny People, it's especially disheartening to see Adam Sandler defeatedly slide back into this type of lowbrow comedy.

That's My Boy serves as a morally bankrupt reminder that Sandler, much like many of us, has no interest in changing his ways.

Fan The Fire

That's My Boy isn't just the worst film of 2012, it's one of the most morally reprehensible comedies of all time, a disgusting movie you should stay far, far away from.

We Got This Covered

The script, which resorts to incest for laughs, is utterly puerile.

It may be the worst film, in any genre, ever made.

The Ooh Tray

Warning: this film contains scenes of incest, masturbation, gerontophilia, statutory rape and Adam Sandler.

Sometimes you have to ask - why Adam Sandler?

Not nearly as terrible as burped-out Sandler disasters of recent years, there's enough funny stuff here to remind us of his talent.

[A] mean-spirited, one-gag time waster.

They're estranged. Tired antics ensue.

As a whole, the film is startlingly ugly.

CraveOnline

With its cringe worthy script, repulsive humor, and piss poor excuse of leading men, "That's My Boy" is the equivalent of recreational brain trauma with a slice of shoving a railroad spike through one of your eyes just to pass the time.

... cheerless vulgarity instead of laughs.

Without the handy chapter select features that come with DVDs and Blu-Rays, it's a long and painful wait for the good, I mean, bad stuff.
