Grade: D

That’s My Boy (2012) is an incredibly bad film, yet something strangely kept my attention.

With oodles of stereotypes and either sexist, homophobic, or racist jokes throughout the film, it should have made me angry, but somehow it did not.

This movie was so completely over the top that it couldn’t possibly be taken seriously.

One laughable aspect that I did enjoy was the, albeit odd, cameos by Vanilla Ice and Todd Bridges who seem to have no problem degrading themselves, and the references to the 1980s.

Otherwise, That’s My Boy is pretty rock bottom for filmmaking.

This isn’t a knock on the dumb comedy genre, as other recent similar films are well written (like This is 40-2011).

But alas, That’s My Boy (2012) isn’t one of those films and will not go down in history as such.

True to form, the ending is predictable and uninteresting.
