That's My Boy
Green Band Trailer
Person of Interest: Ugh. Again, an obnoxious Adam Sandler. He dominates the trailer so heavily, you'll forget that Andy Semberg and Leighton Meester are in there as well.
Scene Pop: A statutory rape plot point!
Briggs Breakdown: one ill-gotten pregnancy, two punches thrown, two car stunts, a sloppy spit take, one "hilarious" baseball injury, one baseball caught by boobs, a warped NKOTB back tattoo, rampant drinking of Budweiser products, rampant hand carrying of Budweiser products, rampant Budweiser product placement!, and one special tennis ball trick.
Effective?: The sad part about this spot is that I have to be objective and give a "yes" to this monstrosity. It tells you the main plot and the stakes to be had and promises the gullible, brain-fried public that they will experience Sandler's trademark douchebaggery and his "unique" taste of humor with a hard R rating.
Check it Out?: Heavens to Murgatroyd! Hell no. Seriously, a statutory rape joke!? The only exception is for trash lovers & divers and desperate movie critics who want to fill out their year-end lists, like myself. It's very sad that this was the trailer I wanted to cover first, rather than any of the more deserving fare. The fact that the Green Band trailer is more offensive and horrendous compared to the Red Band version truly makes me hate the MPAA even more.
