That's My Boy

A charming athlete leverages his fame to secure a college sports spot for his clumsy and uncoordinated son, leading to a chain of humorous misadventures.

Jarring Jack Jackson, a legendary Ridgefield College football player, is dismayed by his son Junior's lack of athletic ability and allergy-prone bookish nature. To secure Junior's spot on the team, Jack leverages his influence and reputation as the college's top alumni donor. He also pays for the tuition of Bill Baker, a talented football player from a low-income family, with the understanding that Bill will room with Junior and help him improve his athletic and social skills. However, Junior's early attempts as quarterback are disastrous, and things become even more complicated when both roommates fall for the same female student. As the homecoming game approaches, the plot thickens with unexpected twists.
