Adam Sandler movies cannot get enough nominations.  Although it's assured of making the final ballot, it will probably be more like I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry than it will be Jack & Jill.  Even so, pile them on, Razzie voters, pile them on!
 
I wonder what's next?  Adam Sandler plays a Razzie voter voting for. . . Adam Sandler!  HAHAHAHA. . . oh, wait, better not give him any ideas. . . .

Well duh! Most of us wouldn't have a choice as long as we want to inherit our parents' money. I'm not sure of any other reasons for pushing fake loyalty if there are any.
But no, following White's theories, that would be too easy. Adam Sandler is a genius, remember? There MUST be more to the movie than the obvious tagline. No way the movie was simply a piece of sh*t and failed despite whatever good or bad intentions! It's just that people weren't smart enough to get it, ya know?
Anyway, hopefully Nick Swardson will get what's coming to him.

The same he did in this and most of his movies: "Family is important". Although, throughout the years, it's been more like "You have to tolerate your family, even if they're the worst people in the world". Yeah, I know people who follow that rule.

Oh f**k. So, according to Armond White That's My Boy is a misunderstood piece of art, judged by elitistic sophisticated snotnoses. Women licking your jizz - must be art then. Farting - a form of f*art. Adam Sandler - the one who dares to point out "taboos" of our society - must be amazing and we are all blind fools. I would give Sandler props for doing so - if only he had actually succeeded in "pinpointing" stuff out to his audience. After all, how many have started to actively support the law in the fight against child molestation, incest or child abuse? My guesstimation would be really low, and I can't blame anybody, since the movie buried serious subjects underneath tons of bad jokes, unrelateable characters, an unrealistic story and sh*t acting. And in comparision, how many people have laughed about it and not wasted another thought?
If Sandler has had holier than holy goals, he fell hard, since those terribly awfully mean dumb movie goers weren't even interested in what he had to say. And obviously noone took it seriously anyways. FAIL.


EDIT: I'm still annoyed about that lame conspiracy theory. Also, I'm curious what messages Sandler was sending with Jack & Jill according to White.

I wasn't planning on seeing this so soon, but I just did because requests are priorities to me.
Wink
For your consideration:
-Worst Actor for Adam Sandler.
-Worst Supp. Actor for both Nick Swardson and James Caan.
-Worst Ensemble.
-Worst Screenplay.
-Worst Picture.

Here's something funny: Although Armond White usually likes bad movies, this time he said that there's a conspiracy related to the hatred of Sandler's movies. By the way, here's another review (one closer to our thoughts).

Personally, I think it is worse.

Okay, So I saw a review where someone said that Vanilla Ice was the best part of the movie
The 2nd best part. The best was Todd Bridges.

Screenwriter David Caspe is worthy of getting the nod for Worst Screenplay. After watching the movie it's obvious that he could have easily written a decent satirical piece. Unfortunately he followed Adam Sandler's orders and wrote a bad farce.
I don't know, man (or woman?). While Sandler usually has creative control over the jokes, the storylines are usually the same before and after he puts his claws on the script. It felt like Caspe did want to make a story that promotes comformism.

If the final Twilight doesn't "win," then I predict this will -- based on "Razzie pedigree" and the fact that it even failed to make its budget back...

Ok, I'm going to man up now, and admit that I didn't hate the movie (as a whole) as much as I expected to. Since I always try to go into a film with an open mind and be objective, I will say that I don't think it was as unwatchable as Jack and Jill. The judge at the beginning made me chuckle, as did the New Kids tattoo. And when Han gets stunned and farts I had to laugh (even though I tried to stop myself) I also didn't mind Leighton Meester and even felt sympathetic to Samberg's character.
I particularly can't stand Sandler's acting. I always see Sandler, even with a terribly annoying voice and outfit, as just being Sandler. Who knows, with some unknown, talented actor I might have enjoyed this a little more. 

The worst thing about it was the story. The beginning was just plain terrible, it's so low, gloryfying child molestation, disguised as every teenage boy's dream. Inbetween it's making fun of psychological problems the son carries from having experienced a difficult childhood. The ending is almost equally tasteless. All stuffed into a supposedly "funny" comedy movie, which is not meant to be taken seriously. 
 
FYC: Adam Sandler for Worst Actor, Nick Swardson for WSA, Worst Screenplay for David Caspe, Worst Screen Couple Milo Ventemiglia and Leighton Meester

UPDATE from Ye Olde Head RAZZberry: With its total gross after 3 weekends still being under $35 million, it's now looking like the final B.O. for THAT'S MY BOY will fall short of $40 million -- or barely more than half that of JACK & JILL. 

While this doesn't mean Sandler's career is over (he probably has five or more projects "in the hopper" at this point) it does mean that he's "In Serious Trouble." 

And we'd argue, it couldn't happen to a more deserving guy!
