I'm not a big, huge fan of Adam Sandler, but this was my first of all the films I'd seen with him in it. I avoided it while it was in theaters that summer and heard a lot of bad things about it, but I rented it that fall and to my surprise it was entertaining. It's not only funny; it's also touching and very interesting as we see Mr. Sandler go from lazybones to model citizen. Well, maybe not model citizen, but at least he compensates through the movie. I won't say how for those of you who still haven't seen it. But if you want a good comedy and haven't seen an Adam Sandler film, start here!

You know it's amazing how many films in the 90s can be consider classics and many were comedy filmsHowever Big Daddy is not one of those films it is one of the films that I would never watch again given the choiceI mean how many films think they can get away with having gross comedy bits it just not that funnyThis film has gross moments that are so awful that it is not even funny to look atIt goes to show that some movies were better on paper this one is one of those films because Adam clearly wasn't thinking straight when he made this filmThe film has some of the worse acting ever seen in a movie it just feels like that normal Adam film where you can expect nothing lessPlus he reuse the same actors for a good percent of his movies it just goes to show that some movies don't need to be madeI give Big Daddy a 1 out of 10

I like Adam Sandler a lot, but recently with Blended and The Cobbler, he's starting to lose his goofy touch what made his humor funny in the first place. I loved the most recent movie he's done called Pixels in 3D, but he truly shined back in the day. One of his best movies is Big Daddy, which is a very funny and surprisingly charming comedy that shows that Adam Sandler can still try his best at being hilarious. The movie has a strength of having pee and throw up jokes, innuendoes and slapstick, but the crudeness and simplicity of the comedy will make you laugh out loud. The movie is very sweet, without being too corny to be considered cinematic cheese. A lot of the unimportant characters are actually the funniest and most interesting of the bunch. Julian is just too damn funny here, he has a ton of antics that are a few of the highlights of the movie. Overall, Big Daddy is a hilarious and heartfelt gem that should be better received.

Big Daddy (1999): Dir: Dennis Dugan / Cast: Adam Sandler, Leslie Mann, Kristy Swanson, Rob Schneider, Jon Stewart: Big scene involves Adam Sandler teaching a boy to urinate on a wall. That was the advertizing poster as if the studio felt that the toilet was inappropriate. Perhaps he should have taught the kid how to wipe his ass with the film's script. Title regards higher adolescence with Sandler put in charge of a kid. It is obvious that he will grow to love the boy and avoids having him placed in a foster home. Director Dennis Dugan still hasn't improved any. He still uses mindless vulgarity to get a cheap laugh. This sort of humour can be funny within certain context but here it just looks desperate. The big joke is suppose to be Sandler as a father figure but nothing he does is remotely interesting. Leslie Mann plays his brain dead girlfriend. Kristy Swanson plays his brain dead ex-girlfriend. Did I mention that Rob Schneider was in this sh*t too? Jon Stewart plays one of Sandler's friends who is forging ahead, but career wise, this is only forging ahead to embarrassment. One could argue that this film regards adult role models and bringing children up within a safe environment but the main agenda seems to be urine and fart jokes that become way outdated within the first twenty minutes. Perhaps they should urinate on this film and see if it will flush down the toilet. Score: 1 / 10
