That's My Boy is a 2012 comedy film starring Adam Sandler and Andy Samberg. The film centers on the character of Donny Berger (Sandler), a 12-year-old who becomes a national celebrity in the year 1984 after it's discovered that he's in a sexual relationship with his hot 22-year-old teacher, Mary McGarricle. Mary becomes pregnant from the affair, causing Donny to become a very young single father after she is sentenced to 30 years in prison. Flash forward to present day, where Donny is a washed-up loser who spends most of his time hanging out at the local strip club and is facing prison time for tax evasion (having not paid his taxes since the early 1990s). When he learns that his millionaire son, Han Solo Berger (Samberg) is getting married, he makes a deal with a Reality TV show host to reunite Han Solo with his mother so that he'll have enough money to avoid going to jail. But first, Donny must make amends with his son (now known as "Todd Peterson"), whom he has not spoken to in years. | |

Adam Westing: In the film Vanilla Ice is portrayed as a washed-up rapper who now works as a fry cook at an ice skating rink, while in real life he's a successful house flipper and motocross racer who has made considerable amounts of money from both endeavors. His supervisor is Todd Bridges, who's also playing himself in an exaggeration of the washed-up celebrity/child star stereotype. | |

Artistic License – Biology | |
That's My Boy / int_18aff462 | comment |
Artistic License – Biology: Han claims that being a former fat kid raised on junk food gave him diabetes. In reality, type 1 diabetes isn't caused by a person's lifestyle at all and type 2 diabetes is reversible. As Cinematic Excrement pointed out, if Han was so drunk he mistook an inanimate mannequin for his fiancé, he'd be far too drunk to have an erection, let alone ejaculate on said mannequin. | |

Mistaken for Cheating: Double Subverted. When Donny hears Jamie talking on the phone with someone and it sounds like an affair, he calls her out on it at her wedding rehearsal dinner with her family. Jamie insists that it was just an innocent private conversation with Steve Goldstein from the new yorker. Donny feels bad and goes to make up for it. Then it turns out Jamie really was cheating... with her brother. | |

Donny points out that adultery, while still looked down upon, is not nearly as big an issue as incest. Chad panics after this, fearing that their taboo relationship will be exposed. | |

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome | |
That's My Boy / int_3ed23024 | comment |
Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: The negative after effects of Donny's irresponsible parenting virtually come to no one's surprise since he was far from full emotional or psychological maturity when he fathered Han Solo. Though Donny is cheered on by the school and becomes a minor celebrity for having a relationship with his teacher, Miss McGarricle herself became a social pariah and was sentenced to 30 years in prison for taking advantage of an underage boy. Because Donny was a young father with little to no knowledge of how to properly take care of a baby, let alone nourish one, he ends up feeding the kid snack cakes and lollipops for breakfast every day. This results in Han becoming morbidly obese at a young age and developing type 2 diabetes. When Donny demands that Jamie confess to Todd about her incestuous relationship with her own brother, she whispers it in Todd's ear to save herself from saying it publicly. Todd is so shocked and disgusted by the revelation that he suddenly blurts it out loud, so all the wedding-goers hear it anyway. | |

Awesome Mc Cool Name: Donny named his son Todd "Han Solo". So that way it sound cool that his full name would actually be Han Solo Berger. "Han" understandably didn't see things that way, changing it to "Todd Peterson" as soon as he could after moving out. He reclaims the Han name by the end of the movie. | |

Artistic License – Military | |
That's My Boy / int_6eb4e408 | comment |
Artistic License – Military: Deliberately invoked with Chad. His uniforms are a mixup of Marine Corps duty uniform, Army camo and rank devices, and completely fake insignia. He also talks about a "service revolver" (which the US Military hasn't had since 1912) and "emptying the clip" (any real Soldier or Marine knows the difference between a clip and a magazine). He also refers to himself as a 'soldier'. Go call a Marine 'soldier' someday. It turns out that he's lying about being a Marine, gets away with it for most of the movie because neither Donny nor Todd/Han know any better, and is in fact a Modern Jazz dancer. Who bangs his sister. | |

Troubling Unchildlike Behavior: 12 year old Donny Berger hitting on his teacher, bragging about handjobs and other sexual acts (though all a ruse as he was a virgin), willingly having a sexual relationship with his teacher, and becoming a father at age 12. Jamie and Chad's incestuous relationship is implied to have started when they were at a very young age if Chad's line about their "secret tickle time" is any implication. | |

He still can't see anything wrong with the fact that she was taking advantage of him when he was aan underage boy, even though the whole reason McGarricle isn't around anymore is because she's serving a long prison sentence for it. | |

Didn't Think This Through | |
That's My Boy / int_8d0785d5 | comment |
Didn't Think This Through: Ms. McGarricle, big time with her inappropriate relationship with Donny. You'd Expect: For her and Donny to go to a more secret place to have sex, let's say her house. It's implied she's living on her own, so she can easily get away having pleasure with Donny without being caught. Or For the Matter: Not even express mutual feelings for Donny himself. Sure, she may like him back, but she should know all too well that this is wrong on so many levels, and could easily (and severely) damage her relationship should she be caught in the act. And if she were to internally struggle with her feelings, she mind as well go to some form of therapy to cope with them. Donny flirting with an adult is bad enough — and he's in detention rightfully so, but because Ms. McGarricle is an adult, she's in position to face bigger consequences given her level of maturity. Instead: She and Donny proceed to have sex. On stage. At a school assembly...while laying against the very noisy piano. The Result: To no surprise, Ms. McGarricle is easily caught and apprehended by the authorities. Her being pregnant provides bigger evidence of her relationship with Donny. While Donny gets to enjoy his life as a minor celebrity, McGarricle is sentenced to 30 years in prison. | |

That's My Boy / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: When Chad returns home from the Marines, he hugs his sister Jamie longer when greeting the rest of his family. He's also quick to be insanely jealous of his sister's fiancée Todd despite only meeting him for the first time. Once the siblings' incestuous relationship is revealed, Chad's unusual behavior makes sense. When Jamie sees the aftermath of the bachelor party and then throws a bridezilla fit because her fiancee Todd had ejaculated and vomited all over her wedding dress, she tastes the stains on the dress out of curiosity and immediately figures out that they're indeed vomit and semen stains. How exactly would she know what those two bodily fluids taste like? Turns out she has been extremely promiscuous with a lot of people. Which includes her fiancee's boss and her own brother. When Todd salutes to Chad out of respect for his work in The Marine, Chad asks what is he doing. He also confuses gun "clips" and"magazines" for one another. This is because he is a phony pretending to be a Marine to hide the fact that he is a jazz dancer. | |

Sex God: Ms. McGarricle spent her inappropriate relationship with Donny training him to be good at sex. By the time they're caught together, she says that Donny's become good at sex and that all their hard work paid off. Chad is revealed to be better at having sex than Todd, as he's heard to be quite good at pleasuring his sister Jamie in the motel. | |

Also when people find out that Donny impregnated his teacher when he was 12. Though most people thought he was a celebrity for accomplishing so, the judge is the only one who appropriately thinks it's wrong. | |

Everyone Has Standards: Donny, who has no regrets about sleeping with his teacher as an underage boy, is shocked and disgusted by Jamie and Chad's incestuous relationship. Todd's boss Steve, whom Jamie also slept with, was also visibly disgusted at the revelation. Donny also willingly goes with the "put money on a fat marathon runner and hope he wins" plan and it ends up being a good move, but even he realizes the chances of it working are slim, and that he should find a plan to fall back on if that falls through. | |

Too Dumb to Live: Chad. He doesn't know anything about being a Marine. He insists he wouldn't carry on with a married woman, even though Jamie is still engaged to be married to Todd. He is unaware of the taboo nature regarding his incestuous relationship with his sister Jamie and when Donny spells it out for him, he panics. He still continues to have sex with Jamie, all the while begging her not to tell their relatives about their "secret tickle time". Then he poses for the picture Donny snaps of them together in bed he uses as blackmail. Add Mrs. McGarricle to that as well. What did she think was going to happen when she and Donny had sex on stage at a school assembly...while laying against the very noisy piano? Jamie could have gotten away with it too, if she didn't scream from her orgasms loud enough for Donny to locate her in the hotel. | |

Intended Audience Reaction: The movie starts in 1984, and when the relationship between Donny and Mary is shown, they play a Van Halen song from the 80s...you're probably expecting it to be "Hot for Teacher"note which, on top of coming out in 1984, was released on the album 1984, right? Nope, it uses "And the Cradle Will Rock"! Which was foreshadowing the conception of Han. | |
