Todd (Samberg) is the son who resents and is embarrassed by his father who shows up during the time he is schedule to get married, causing him all types of chaos with his new friends and future family. The two play charades so that no one becomes wise about their father/son relationship.


Reel Talk:


When it comes to raw and raunchy comedy, Adam Sandler is one of the best at it. Who else would turn a taboo situation about inappropriate teacher and student affairs into a comedy film. The other thing that is admiral about Sandler is that he not a selfish person he looks out for people. Here he has given the opportunity for old timers like Vanilla Ice, Todd Bridges, Tony Orlando, James Caan and of course some of his regular crew to join him on the screen of this silly movie. The teaming of Sandler and fellow SNL alumni Andy Samberg is ideal because the two worked well together and even share looks that help in forming their characters. The humor is crazy, far fetched and totally adult, but very funny. In need of some laughter, this is one worth checking out.
