2.5/4  Big Daddy Quick Review
Funny enough to keep me watching. Adam Sandler is a comedy favorite of mine, and I think is one of the best in the genre of the past 20 years.

2.5/4  Big Daddy Quick Review
What Movies Teach Us: Never have a 5 year plan. Your life will pan out better if you're a slacker who likes to eat at Hooter's.

2.5/4  Big Daddy Quick Review
A halfway point between the moronic Adam Sandler and the serious Adam Sandler, Big Daddy has some good points, but isn't his best. That said, it's also not his worst. It's right in the middle - OK, not great, not horrible.

5/5 Having a kid is great... as long as his eyes are closed and he's not moving or speaking

The review from "The New Yorker" on this page is probably one of the most pompous and hollow reviews I've ever read. "Big Daddy" is a great movie. I'm a long-time Adam Sandler fan but, put it this way, after seeing this movie, so is my mother. She's usually not into this kind of comedy, but this has become one of her all-time favorite movies. So, saying that "Anyone looking to solve the mystery of Adam Sandler's mass appeal is not going to do it here" seems to be a ridiculous statement.

The movie is funny from "all angles". The story is good, the cast is as solid as I've ever seen in a comedy, etc, etc... Whether or not you're usually into Sandler's brand of comedy, you will most likely appreciate this film. I feel that this is Adam Sandler at his best - and it is certainly one of his most successful projects.

Highly recommended.

5/5 A Very Funny Laugh Out Loud Movie!!!!
  by K. Jackson (Atlanta, GA USA)
I thought that this was Adam Sandler's best movie he has made.That he played man who's a slacker that he trys to impress his girlfriend by adopting a cute 5-year-old boy(played by Dylan & Cole Sprouse).I think of how the movie should've ended real good is for Sonny to have Legal Custody of Jullian.I laugh out loud when I see this movie!!!!

2/5 Not as good as the trailer would make you believe!
  by John (Los Angeles)
I seen the trailer, and it looked hilarious. However I left the theater disapointed;If the film was half as good as the trailer would make you believe this would have been a comic masterpiece!

1/5 Adam Sandler's worst movie
  by David Adams (Maryland, U.S.A)
I have loved all of Adams Sandler's other movie, all except Big Daddy. I was disguisted at the jokes about the two gay guys. But other than the fact that most of the time the movie was gross, it just plain wasn't funny. I thought that it was simply an incredible waste of time and talent. Don't rent/buy this movie.

4/5 Adam Sandler-- a new twist
  by GenrasionX (New York)
Adam Sandler was hillarious in the waterboy, and did a great job in movies such as Billy Madison, Happy Gilmore and other movies. In all of those movies he is usually playing an imature or slightly retarted charector, wich by the is very funny, but in this movie he plays a father and adds a completley new twist to the phrase "an adam sandler movie" much his others this is a very good
