Summary: Pretty funny, pretty good
Review: I think that by this time in Adam Sandler's career, there are two kinds of fans: ones who either hate him, or love him. And to be blunt, his roles in most of his movies are not that great. For instance; playing the title character in "Happy Gilmore", he was a hockey/golf pro. In "The Waterboy" he played a retarted waterboy. And in "Little Nicky" he played the Devil's son. Now, all of these roles are not ones that we can relate to. But yet we still loved those films, and with good reason. But in "Big Daddy", Sandler plays Sonny Koufax. What makes this role so much better is that there's a sense of love from within. When a young boy (Cole/Dylan Sprouse) is left outside his door, he takes him in and gives him a home. And for anyone who saw "Billy Madison" you see the irony here. Anyway, to make a long story short, it's the most well-rounded character he's every played. It's a movie that anyone can like, even if they don't like Adam Sandler. Grant it, he has the starring role, but he's with a great supporting cast. It includes Joey Lauren Adams, Jon Stewart and Rob Schneider, along with some Sandler-movie regulars. Joey is particularly good here. She provides more seriousness than most of his female co-stars from earlier films. This movie is definetly a comedy--and it' a good one at that. But it has more than just stupid laughs. It's cute, it's sad, and it's something you shouldn't be able to hate. The movie may be around 3.5 stars, it's better than just three. The only reason it didn't get more is because of the ending. I didn't think much of the ending, but I guess it was fitting. Anyway, Adam Sandler does something in this movie that I hope continues for him; that being playing great roles. So watch this movie, whether you like Adam Sandler or not. It' a great film.

Summary: One of Sandler's best
Review: Adam Sandler is, without question, one of the funniest actors in the world today, and anyone who doesn't agree with this deserves to be taken out and shot. In the mid-late nineties he released a plethora of films that were unrealistically funny. His final film of the nineties was Big Daddy. Read on for my review of this film - one of Sandler's best. BASIC PLOT:
In this film, Sandler plays the role of a man who is in his thirties, and has done nothing with his life. He works only one day a week - in a toll booth! Through an odd twist of events, he ends up looking after a child, and the two become very close thanks to his unique (but certainly awkward) parenting choices. Unfortunately, he quickly learns there is more to parenting than just fun and games. FILM OPINIONS:
This is an excellent film, since it's more than "just another Adam Sandler movie." Perhaps this is due to the drama that you don't get in most of his films. It's not an outrageous film (like many of his previous ones), but it's still a good one nonetheless, and more likely than not, you'll be pleased. The film contains a variety of excellent songs - most of which are covers (remakes.) DVD:
The DVD gives you all the basic features you'd expect - scene selections, trailers for this and other films, commentary, behind-the-scenes footage, etc. And unlike a plethora of DVD movies out there today, this one contains full screen and widescreen on a single disc! I was hoping for deleted scenes too, but I'm not complaining. OVERALL:
This is one of the best films in Sandler's catalogue. If you want to watch a good comedy film, as only Sandler could do, I strongly suggest seeing this movie.

Summary: A beautiful movie
Review: Big Daddy is a beautiful movie. Yes, it is crude at times. But Sandler shows what live is all about, hope, love and faith.

Summary: Law school grade likes tripping skate boarders
Review: I first saw this movie on TV edited for a general audience. I guess the whole family and I were enjoying it so much we didn't notice all the Bleeps. When Sandler loses the kid, all three of my younger children were sobing. We laughed, we cried, we cheered when the good guys won the day. But... Then I bought the movie. This is not a family friendly movie becuase the language is to salty. Sandler, who hardly ever got very much face time on Saturday night Live, except in the credits has turned out to be one of my favorites. I like almost everything he does. Big daddy is a 4 star, very good movie, but i have to give it 3 stars for the cursing.

Summary: Sandler proved himself here
Review: He proved that he wasn't as "stupid" as he looked in his previous efforts.
Adam Sandler played a caring, yet goofy man. He showed that he can learn how to take care of his own life, if it even involves adopting a little boy. I give "Big Daddy" 5 stars, because I think it is one of Adam Sandlers best selling movies yet, and can't wait to see what he has next for us to see.

Summary: Not Adam Sandler at his best but close enough
Review: New York tollbooth worker and failure to his family Sonny Koufax (Adam Sandler) who really has not decided to take the next step in life and become a successfull something or other as opposed to big overgrown kid still living off leftovers and pizza has a son, Julian, of his roommate's dying wife show up at his doorstep moments after his roommate moves to China. Sonny really has nothing going for him whatsoever, his girlfriend has just left him and now he has to support a hyper, five year old running throughout his apartment. This movie takes on a more happy loving feel than other dumb funny Sandler movies. Renee Zelwegger plays Sonny's new girlfriend who loves Julian, and loves Sonny. This movies happy feeling is sure to have a smile across your face for the majority of it and has a great ending, and will also make you laugh throughout much of it.

Summary: It's good, but it's not hilarious
Review: When I first saw the previews of "Big Daddy" I knew I had to see it because it looked like it was gonna be hilarious. When I finally saw it, it wasn't anything like I thought it was gonna be. For about the first 20 minutes of the movie, parts of it are funny. Sonny's girlfriend (Kristy Swanson) goes out of town saying she needs time to think and tells Sonny (Adam Sandler) that he needs to think about the next stage of his life. A kid shows up at the door and Sonny decides to adopt him in order to show his girlfriend that he can be responsible. She dumps him anyway and he teaches the kid how to be the next Adam Sandler pretty much. Things get out of hand and he thinks about giving the kid up, but he finds out he likes the kid too much. "Big Daddy" is a pretty good movie, but it wasn't what I expected it to be. I thought it would be hilarious like some of Sandler's other movies such as "Happy Gilmore" or "The Waterboy," but really it's more of a showing of how an immature guy can become attached to a kid and start wanting responsibility. I also didn't think Adam Sandler did one of his better acting jobs in this movie. The court session part of the movie was sort of cheesy. But I recommend seeing this movie so you can find out what happens and if Sonny will get to keep the kid and what he will do about his girlfriend that dumped him. It's worth buying, but you might want to rent it or see it on TV first.
