A Blogpiece Review of That's My Boy!

Hey all!  Here is a  blog/review/thoughts by Janice D'Arcy on Adam Sandler's new movie: That's My Boy.  An interesting piece that I thought I'd share with you.  The two paragraghs points that hit home for me are:


First, it opened just as media attention to child sex abuse is at a height with the trial of Jerry Sandusky, accused of abusing several young men during his time as a coach and mentor. With the victims’ public testimony, we have been reminded just how deeply unfunny the subject is.

Second, the movie is marketed and clearly made for young men. This is exactly the demographic that needs to better understand that power dynamics of a sexual relationship between teens and mentors can leave lasting damage.
