    Description of Big Daddy:
    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

    Big Daddy Reviews:
    Sweet, naughty humor. 4 Star Review
    2008-06-28 - 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!

    Great Comedy! 5 Star Review
    2008-06-18 - 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 Pains 3 Star Review
    2008-05-27 - 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.

    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.

    Sandler's Best 5 Star Review
    2008-04-19 - 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 changed and left him feeling left behind. His girlfriend wants more from a relationship, his friend is getting married to someone he doesn't like... you get the idea. It doesn't taint the overall mood at all.
    In this film, Sandler's at his best. He's grown a lot since Billy Madison and Happy Gilmore and he has not yet become gimmicky at this point. It's funny, yet heartwarming. At times you'll be laughing and crying at the same time. It's no masterpiece. It doesn't grip you at a deep level or anything like that, but it's what it set out to be. That is, a fun, heartwarming, family (as long as you're not a prude) movie.

    Layla knocked me on my knees 5 Star Review
    2008-03-28 - 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.
