The star-studded Adam Sandler comedy I Hate You Dad just picked up its first Oscar-winning cast member in Susan Sarandon, who is set to play Andy Samberg's mother, a "sexy teacher" type. Yes, that sounds like a cinematic sequel to the SNL digital short "Motherlover," where Samberg and Sarandon play sexual switcheroo with the mother-son duo of Justin Timberlake and Patricia Clarkson, but is this an Oedipal arrangement we want reenacted on the silver screen?
While I doubt the relationship on-screen between Samberg and Sarandon will be similar to the SNL sketch, more of raunchy Sarandon is a good thing. The heat of Bull Durham lingers on 23 summers later!
I'm more excited about supporting players Ian Ziering, who is slated to play "a drugged-out version of his own persona" and Vanilla Ice, who is set to exhume the potential he exhibited in Cool as Ice. Which was a lot, guys.
