Fatherhood just got a whole lot dumber⌠and a little sweeter. Thatâs the promise of Thatâs My Boy 2: Father of the Year (2025), the highly anticipated sequel to the 2012 hit comedy that had us all laughing at the antics of the worldâs most inappropriate dad. Get ready for another rollercoaster of chaotic family moments, toddler tantrums, and heartwarming laughs.
A Wild New Chapter for Donny and Todd
The original Thatâs My Boy introduced us to Donny (Adam Sandler), the wild, irresponsible father who never met a rule he wouldnât break. And now, in Thatâs My Boy 2, Donny is backâonly this time, heâs stepping into a new role: that of a grandfather. But donât expect him to change his ways. In fact, Donny is about to take his level of chaos to new heights as his son Todd (Andy Samberg) unexpectedly finds himself about to become a father.
The trailer for Thatâs My Boy 2 shows Todd, who is now a grown man, clearly unprepared for the monumental responsibility of parenthood. But, as expected, his father, Donny, is eager to âhelp,â whether Todd wants him to or not. With Donny at his side, the pair creates the kind of absurdly funny and off-the-wall situations that only this father-son duo can. From wild baby showers to temper-tantrum-filled trips to the bar, this movie will take you on a hilarious journey through the misadventures of family life.
The Dynamic Duo â Adam Sandler and Andy Samberg
One of the main draws of Thatâs My Boy 2 is the return of Adam Sandler and Andy Samberg, who are sure to bring their signature comedic chemistry back to the big screen. Sandler, known for his over-the-top and hilarious roles in films like Billy Madison, Happy Gilmore, and Grown Ups, slips back into the role of Donny with perfect comedic timing. His character is crude, outrageous, and impossible to take seriouslyâbut in the most endearing way.
On the other hand, Andy Samberg returns as Todd, the straight-laced son who spends most of the film trying (and failing) to maintain some semblance of order in his life while his father turns everything upside down. Sambergâs á´ á´á´á´ pan humor and ability to react to absurdity with a straight face will no doubt make this sequel just as entertaining as its predecessor.
Director Sean Anders Brings the Laughs and the Heart
Directed by Sean Anders, who previously helmed Daddyâs Home and its sequel, Thatâs My Boy 2 is expected to bring both big laughs and heartfelt moments. Anders has a knack for balancing family comedy with genuine emotional beats, and Thatâs My Boy 2 seems set to continue this tradition. The filmâs premise is built on the wild antics of Donny, but at its heart, itâs about family, love, and the messy, beautiful reality of parenthood. The trailer hints that beneath all the ridiculousness, thereâs a meaningful message about what it truly means to be a father and a family.
Fans of Thatâs My Boy will remember how the first film ended on a note of unexpected heartwarming affection between Donny and Todd. Itâs clear that the sequel is set to explore even deeper family dynamics, albeit through the lens of slapstick humor and absurd situations.
What Can Fans Expect from Thatâs My Boy 2?
As the ŃΚŃle suggests, Thatâs My Boy 2: Father of the Year will focus on the ever-expanding chaos that Donny and Toddâs family life creates. From changing diapers at the most inconvenient moments to navigating the challenges of raising a child (with Donnyâs unpredictable âhelp,â of course), expect a hilarious ride filled with laugh-out-loud moments, awkward family encounters, and more than a few heartwarming surprises.
Some of the filmâs funniest moments will likely come from Donnyâs attempts to âteachâ Todd how to parent, even though heâs far from qualified himself. In fact, it seems that Donnyâs philosophy on parenting is the exact opposite of anything that could be considered âqualifiedâ or âappropriateââwhich, of course, is what makes it so funny.
The film also promises plenty of over-the-top set pieces, such as out-of-control baby showers, spontaneous road trips, and the kind of antics that only Donny can create. And, as always, thereâs a sense that, despite everything, family is still the most important thingâchaos and all.
