Summary: Dysfunctional idiot and kid
Review: This movie was a pathetic attempt to grab our heart strings, but was only effective in loosening my purse strings. It's about a very dysfunctional idiot (Adam Sandler) who takes on the job of setting the absolute worst possible example for a child. This movie is a joke and everybody who watches it is a victim. I generally think Adam Sandler is funny, but I didn't laugh once. Note to self: never watch another Adam Sandler flick again. Note to Adam: Get some new material. Two thumbs down!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: No Redeeming Values
Review: This film glamorizes everything that is wrong with our society. Just take one look at the cover. Is that the type of public behavior that you want to teach your children? Skip this for your own sake. Besides, it's not funny even when it tries to be.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Big Daddy has Big laughs and Big features.
Review: Big daddy is a great movie. I think it's very funny. It has features like origonal trailers, bonus trailers, two music videos and a full screen and wide screeen side and talent files and two choices of surround sound. This is one of sandler's best. Buy it:

Summary: Adam Sandler Is BIG DADDY
Review: BIG DADDY is a comedy starring Adam Sandler as Sonny Koufax, a slacker who has a job working one day a week at a toll booth. When his girlfriend threatens to dump him, Sonny looks for a way to fix this disaster, and that's when a kid named Julian gets dumped on Sonny's doorstep. Sonny plans to adopt Julian so that his girlfriend can see how responsible he is, but then he finds out that his girlfriend is having an affair with an older man, and Sonny is stuck to raise Julian as his son on his own. This a halarious film, one of Adam Sandler's best. If you like Adam Sandler or comedy in general, you need to see this movie.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Well........
Review: In a cynical view of this movie, you could probably say that Adam Sandler made it to impress critics. However, this is probably my least favorite Adam Sandler movie for lots of reasons. Above all, it gets WAY too sappy. I mean most AS movies get sappy intentionally, but come one, the whole montage scene at the end was too much. Secondly, it strives for the kind of coolness factor ala the Kevin Smith films, Swingers, and the like. AS films were never meant to be as mentally challenging as those films, and I know I sound like the average AS fan when I say all this. However, not all is bad. There are some funny lines/scenes (all he does is eat and sleep, he's like a damn cocker spaniel) but mainly, the film fails because it tries to hard. However, you could say that AS achieved his goal-most critics liked it, however I don't.

Summary: A Film Of Such High Quality
Review: To keep it simple, I am very sceptical about films when they are released. I never give a film a high score just because I like it, but this film is brilliant. Adam Sandler is a great comedian and screenplay writer and the whole cast fitted in nicely to the theme of the story.

I find it very hard to make any bad comment on the film. It is of such high quality that I find it is amazing. Sandler plays "Sonny Koufax" a thirty-two-year-old slob who intends on wasting his life with no job. He makes a living from the money he made in a cab accident and uses it for all worthless stuff. But then when his girlfriend says she's going to dump him if he doesn't grow up, he tries to sort things out by adopting a five-year-old boy (played by the adorably cute Cole and Dylan Sprouse, great actors to look out for) called Julian. Sonny's girlfriend dumps him anyway, for an older man, and Sonny finds it too hard to look after Julian. So Sonny tries to give him back to Social Services but to no avail. Just as Sonny grows close to Julian, with a very warm love, Social Services come knocking. Sonny goes to court and tries to get Julian back, but the judge will have none of that. Even though I tell you most of the story, you have to see it for yourself.

To say the least, a film well acted (Sandler does a great Sonny Koufax, and Cole and Dylan play their part even better) and well wrote. Tremendously funny and sad in parts. I remember when I first saw Big Daddy in the cinema, the response from the entire audience was breath-taking. I remember when Julian put up his hand when Sonny was crossing the road and he wanted him to hold his hand, people said "awwww" or "how cute". And then people laughed their minds off at the most funny parts of film history.

This is an amazing film. Every home should have one, or two if you really like it. This is only a small review. If you want a bigger one, please email me at fiveoftwelve@ntlworld.ie

Great film...and the extra DVD features are superb. Buy it now!

Summary: disapointment
Review: I saw this movie thinking it would be as funny as adam sandlers other movies,plain and simple this was a flop. There was 1-2 parts that were funny but thats about it. Some people thought it was cute what did they think was cute the 5 year old boy [peeing] on the side of the restaurant. i did not think it was funny. i saw it at the theatre and half way thru the movie there was more and more empty seats...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Good, but not as good as Happy Gilmore
Review: This was a pretty good movie. It's not as great as his other movies like Happy Gilmore and Billy Madison, but it does have its funny moments. Sunny Koufax is a toll booth worker whose girlfriend left him to go to Syracuse. One day a boy arrives at his door, but it's actually his roomate's. But since his roomate has to go on a law suit case to Japan, Sunny decides to take care of him. But he soon realizes that he's not exactly role model father of the year, and he soon tries to give him back to Social Services, but he can't. What will Sunny do?
