Wes Anderson's latest has a love struck Boy Scout (Jared Gilman) running away with the daughter (Kara Hayward) of two quirky lawyers (Billy Murray and Frances McDormand). Despite a search party led by a staunch scoutmaster (Edward Norton) and the town's sheriff (Bruce Willis), the two adolescents continue to elude the adults. Though the residents are isolated on a small island, the retro 1960s vibe still saturates the film's aesthetic. Many elements might be familiar to Anderson fans, but it's still a pleasure to watch. Featurettes, including a tour around the set with Bill Murray, are included on the DVD.

That's My Boy

Adam Sandler and Andy Samberg join forces for a broad, obnoxious comedy about father-son bonding. Donnie (Sandler) shows up days before his estranged son's (Andy Samberg) wedding, hoping his successful kid will be the key to solving his financial issues. Over the course of the weekend, the two reconnect, but not before a series of gross-out stunts and hard-to-watch bodily fluid gags. Leighton Meester and Vanilla Ice also star. DVD extras include a gag reel, deleted scenes, and three featurettes.

Despite competition from new releases, Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted remained steady at the top of the box office, earning $35.5 million this weekend. For the second week in a row, Prometheus placed second with $20.2 million. Rock of Ages had a disappointing opening weekend with $15.1 million, followed by Snow White and the Huntsman with $13.8 million. Adam Sandler's new comedy That's My Boy also had a very poor showing, earning just $13 million in its opening weekend.

That's My Boy: That's Your Bad

There was a time when seeing an Adam Sandler movie didn't necessarily mean watching overly obnoxious characters in a weak narrative strung together by inane plot twists.
by

There was a time when seeing an Adam Sandler movie didn't necessarily mean watching overly obnoxious characters in a weak narrative strung together by inane plot twists. Unfortunately, That's My Boy perpetuates the "ugh" response that Sandler's films have been getting as of late. The year is 1984; after a romance with sexy teacher Ms. McGarrigle (Eva Amurri Martino), 13-year-old Donny (Sandler) ends up in the national spotlight, lauded for "living the dream" and pasted on magazine covers. Too bad he's also stuck with a baby as a product of the affair. Fast forward to present day, when now-deadbeat Donny shows up days before his estranged son Todd's (Samberg) wedding, hoping his kid will be the key to fixing his financial woes. Clearly mortified by his father's disheveled appearance and general lack of social graces, Todd tries to pass off Donny as an old friend, but Donny uses his inexplicable charms to worm his way into spending the weekend with the group.

The silly plot is just one of the many issues plaguing That's My Boy. Between the bodily-fluid gags, which are painful for both the characters and the audience, and Sandler's grating Boston accent, the movie only works if you're willing to accept the stupidity because it's an Adam Sandler movie. To find out what else I thought of That's My Boy, just keep reading.

That's My Boy Trailer: Adam Sandler Is Andy Samberg's Deadbeat Dad

We're still trying to get Adam Sandler's 2011 movie Jack and Jill out of our minds, but his next project isn't looking any better.

We're still trying to get Adam Sandler's 2011 movie Jack and Jill out of our minds, but his next project isn't looking any better. In That's My Boy, Sandler stars as a crude, womanizing loser who gets into trouble with the IRS and decides to hit up his wealthy estranged son (Samberg) for cash. As the two collide, Sandler starts infiltrating Samberg's clean, preppy, life — and not at all for the better.

The best part about this trailer is seeing Samberg playing it straight, rather than his typical off-the-wall characters. Unfortunately, the rest of the preview is pretty lame; uninspired jokes, raunchy humor, visible puke, and the like. Even as a Sandler fan, I can already tell that I'm not going to like his character in this; is it too much to ask for him to make more movies like Funny People and Punch Drunk Love? The movie hits theaters just in time for Father's Day, but watch the preview when you read more
