Gosh--kids. You gotta love 'em, right? Well, not necessarily-- particularly if you're Adam Sandler. But Big Daddy is about paternal devotion in its own oblique way. Sandler plays Sonny Koufax, a law-school grad who has been milking an accident settlement to cover his living expenses, while he continues to slack his way through life. But when his girlfriend threatens to dump him, he decides to show her he's serious about their relationship and pretends to adopt a little boy (in fact, his roommate's son from a one-night stand several years earlier, who shows up on their doorstep just after the roommate leaves town on a job). But after taking care of the tyke for a couple of days, Sonny finds that it's a little like feeding that stray dog that followed you home: Before you know it, you've grown attached to the little fella--and then what are you going to do? By turns crude and maudlin, Big Daddy has its share of laughs and will certainly entertain fans who like Adam Sandler best when he plays the case of arrested development with a smart-aleck retort for everything. --Marshall Fine

I loved Adam Sandler in "Happy Gilmore," but "Big Daddy was almost unwatchable. My husband and I watched this movie recently, and we had a hard time staying awake. Sandler's character is an obnoxious, aging adolescent; his character is unlikeable and bordering on child abandonment in his treatment of his young charge. Maybe with a young actor playing Sandler's role, this story could have been believable. I am glad that we did not waste any money buying this DVD.

This is a funny story about how a lazy unmotivated guy learns responsibility after falling in love with a 5 yr old kid who was dropped off at his door. The kid was dropped off because his mother was dieing and she wanted the biological father to get a chance to assume responsibility before the option of foster care was elected. The boy is supposed to belong to his roommate who was away on business so Sandler gets this bright idea to take responsibility hoping it will show his girlfriend he can be responsible. Adam's character becomes more like a friend to the small boy instead of a parent and ends up making plenty of mistakes. In the end Sandler learns he loves this boy and will do what the has to to keep him. There are plenty of laugh out loud parts especially the clips where Sandler pokes fun with his best friends bride to be. As well as some touching mushy "I love my daddy " scenes. Over all it was a great movie to just sit down and enjoy without having to learn the storyline by piecing together the events to comprehend the meaning of the film.

Big Daddy starring Adam Sandler and Joey Lauren Adams is a sweet romantic comedy. I enjoy this film although some of the scenes are bit gross. Steve Buscemi's physical comedy holds this film together. Sandler isn't too annoying in this flick which is nice. I recommend checking this unexpected and cute film out, enjoy!

Adam Sandler stars in this movie about a man who pretends to be Kevin Garrady. Shortly a kid named Julian shows up at his door with a guy from child services saying that he's his son. Then starts the laughs as Julian and Kevin do all kinds of wacky things together. I really enjoyed this movie and thought it was hilarious. If you're an Adam Sandler fan, definately get this movie for yourself. You won't be disappointed!

Growing up is sometimes hard to do. You leave behind the carefree days when someone else was still responsible for you as you took your very first steps towards independence. Our parents did the best they could in cutting the umbilical cord and sending us on our way. For most of us, this transition felt normal and was achieved without much pain. However, for a few, growing pains continued beyond what was considered normal or prudent.
Over Memorial Day weekend, I sort of had an old movie watching extravaganza and ended up watching a few films. One of these films was Big Daddy. Big Daddy was produced in 1999 and featured the Sprouse twins (Dylan and Cole) playing the same role of Julian "Frankenstein" McGrath who is a 5 year child sent from Buffalo, New York to be reunited with this father who he has never seen. His mother has passed away and she wanted Julian to be with his biological Dad. Of course, this is also a big surprise for everyone including Gerrity.
The unfortunate thing is that Dad (Kevin Gerrity who is played by Jon Stewart) does not know anything about Julian or in fact that he even exists and as fate has it is on his way to China on business. Sonny Koufax played by Adam Sandler is the one who opens the door and finds the five year Julian on his stoop. Sonny in the end finds more than Julian that fateful day and learns a lot about himself.
Adam Sandler as his typical funny self plays a bright would be lawyer who is an irresponsible slob; a guy who cannot get it altogether even though all of his friends have moved on with their careers and lives sort of leaving him far behind. Adam is feeling this particularly when he opens his door and finds Julian standing there; since Sandler also just found himself losing his girlfriend to boot.
The film shows Adam at his funny best and if you are a Sandler fan you will like this movie. Layla Maloney played by Joey Lauren Adams is a sweet role and Adams in this role reminds me a little of Renee Zellwegger in Jerry Maguire.
In the final analysis, love wins out and everybody lives happily ever. The movie promotes family love and values and is a feel good movie which most likely if you are a Jon Stewart or an Adam Sandler fan will not disappoint you.
Some coarse segments as another reviewer mentioned which influenced me and was one of the reasons that I did not give it four stars though I enjoyed the movie on the whole very much. It was funny, light and kept you laughing. If you intend to watch this flick with your children, there are more than a few stunts that you may not enjoy your own children doing or getting any ideas about. So be forewarned. But overall still a funny film.
Three stars for this feel good movie.
