There's some controversy brewing over ADAM SANDLER'S upcoming comedy "That's My Boy".

In the movie, Adam plays a guy who impregnated his teacher when he was 13 then reconnects with the son they created when they're both adults.  The son is played by ANDY SAMBERG.

What's bothering people is that the son's conception is treated as a JOKE and the teacher's statutory rape trial is played for laughs.

In fact, there's a scene where the younger version of Adam's character is high-fived by two of his classmates in the courtroom while the pregnant teacher is led away by the cops.
