Adam Sandler’s flick That’s My Boy took in $13 Million at the box office this weekend. This means fewer tickets were sold than Happy Gilmore, a movie we at NotTheWorstNews
support, as we exclaim “Looks like Happy learned how to putt!” whenever
we surprise opponents with a successful play in mini-golf, bocce ball,
or the carnival game where a carny tries, unsuccessfully, to guess our
ages.
Perhaps the bad guessing has something to do with the fact that we
put the odds in our favor by attending the carnival dressed wearing 50 Hello Kitty “Bling Face” Headbands from Hot Topic. (the lack of circulation caused by wearing so many of these headbands makes us look older in case you wondered about the science behind this. Or maybe they just can’t see our faces behind so many headbands. The science is inconclusive, so should not be relied upon.)
Anyway, as we wrote previously, Sony recently announced a bunch of new Hasbro-themed movies in various stages of development, including Tonka, Candyland, and Risk. The Tonka movie is being co-produced
by Sandler’s Happy Madison productions, which leads to the question as
to whether a movie based on a toy truck can underperform Sandler’s
biggest comedy flop in decades. But however much money Tonka pulls in, there still could be worse choices from the Hasbro catalog:
