Editorial Review:
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

Rating: - Sweet, naughty humor.
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!
Rating:  - Great Comedy!
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!
Rating:  - Growing Pains
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 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.

Rating: - Sandler's Best
1st, I want to comment on another review. One of them stated, "The setting, the plot, and the dialogues are all good, though what was the point of incorporating a homosexual couple into this movie? It came out of the blue and served no purpose whatsoever, except to taint the overall mood." firstly, do you really need to have a reason to have homosexuals in a film? This sounds like someone who's maybe a little homophobic. Though, if you need a reason, it's another thing in Sonny's life that has ... Read More
Rating: - Layla knocked me on my knees
As Layla, Joey Lauren Adams (America's Sweetheart) elevated "Big Daddy" several notches above the typical Adam Sandler comedy. Her grace, intelligence, warmth and sweetness made "Big Daddy" a truly heartwarming film.
