When you think Adam Sandler can’t make worse movies than the ones he already has in his quiver, then you get to see this one and one thing crosses your mind... who the hell thought Vanilla Ice would make a good supporting actor?

Made by Happy Madison (Adam Sandler’s production company), Sandler found a way to keep his name in the mud for making crappy movies and managed to drag Andy Samberg (Saturday Night Live) along with him.

Happy Madison movies have sucked big time. Although they’ve been racking it in at the box office, it seems they’ve just decided not to try anymore. As the movies are released, you can be certain they’re going to be a waste of time.

This movie did have one high note though. Just when you thought you’d seen the worst — as in, incest is the most disgusting and worst thing I can ever imagine seeing on the silver screen — this movie’s ending is somehow worse than the incest plot.

The movie’s story goes like this: While in his teens, Donny (Adam Sandler) gets to fulfill the lifelong dream of many teenage boys, which is to screw the hottest teacher in class. It started bad when the whole world found out about their mess and the teacher was found to be pregnant for Donny, but it got better when Donny milked the publicity for all it was worth.

Eighteen years later, Donny is flat broke and about to go to jail for unpaid taxes, so he decides to sell his reunion story (between him, his son, and his high school teacher) for enough money to stay out of jail.

Adding to this twist is his son, Han Solo Berger/Todd Peterson (Andy Samberg), who wants nothing to do with him.

As lame as the plot sounds, lamer is the implementation on the silver screen. Directed by Sean Anders, who wrote She’s Out of My League (2010), comes a movie that makes you wonder if the makers actually watched it before releasing it.

Adam Sandler’s movie before this was Jack and Jill, which is unique for winning Razzies including Worst Actor, Worst Actress, Worst Screenplay, and others. I think this movie may topple Jack and Jill in the Razzies.

Save your money. When a movie has one of its characters named Han Solo and you’re sure you’re not watching a Star Wars movie, you can be sure it’s going to be a waste of film.
