Summary: One of the best Sandler movies...
Review: Despite of all negative reviews below or above, I still find this movie warm and so much watchable. It is not all gag and fun such as Happy Gilmore and Billy Madison. This movie has a real story and quite nice in fact you'll end up appreciating your time spent with your old man. This is definitely one of Sandler's best.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: not my favorite but a good one
Review: this comedy, as all Sandler's movies, is to have a good time. Adam Sandler plays Sonny Koufax, a single guy who ilegally adopts a little kid, and this last one will eventually become a part of his life. To take care of the child he decides to make a fantasy world without rules and obstacles; in other words, he loves the boy in a very special way. What makes you wanna keep on seeing the movie is that the central theme is seen as something not necessaryly serious, so it is fun to see what's gonna happen next with this particular pair of "clawns". I recommend it because of its joy-transmition and pretty funny ex SaturdayNightLive-actors. You won't regret seeing it.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Definitely not one of Sandler's better films
Review: Idiotic, stupid, and somewhat funny perfectly describes Big Daddy. Adam Sandler plays Sunny, an underachiever who's making his money off of being a toll booth operator and settlement money from being hit by a taxi. After his girlfriend leaves him, he attempts to show how responsible he is by taking care of a kid. Pretending to be his father, he takes the kid under his wing and the story unfolds from there, and the story isn't that great. The film has its brief moments of insight in how Sandler tries to be a father, but that's about it. The chemistry between him and the kid is the extent of the acting prowess. The rest of the characters are somewhat unbelievable and tiring. Die hard Sandler fans will appreciate this movie, but that's all I can see enjoying this. Still, it is somewhat watchable, saving it from a one star rating. I guess it's OK if you really liked Sandler's other movies. This is no Happy Gilmore though so don't let yourself get fooled.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Not that funny.
Review: Was this a comedy? I'm a big fan of Mr. Sandler...but this one really missed the mark.
The ONE STAR is for the kid...because I felt sorry for him.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: His real masterpiece!
Review: What a good film! I really liked Rob Schnieder as the illiterite delivery man. The courtroom scene is a little dumb, but I still feel that this film is a brush of genious. I would probably put it on my top 10 favorite films of 1999. I would give this 85/100. If you are looking for a lighthearted film that is easy to follow, get Big Daddy. The amazing thing is that "Julien" is actually played by two kids. There names are Cole and Dylan Sprouse. You never can tell which is which. They act the same. Since there are laws protecting how many hours a child can work (I believe weekly) on a film, the two had to rotate. The same thing came up with Mary and Ashley Olsen. Thank you for taking the time to read my review and feel free to leave me a helpful/not hepful feedback. God Bless America!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: REALLY GOOD.
Review: This, in no doubts, is a great movie everyone will love!
Adam Sandler(Mr.Deeds, Happy Gilmore) is awsome, it also has Steve Buscemi(Airheads, Mr.Deeds) in it too, who is,and always will be, my favorite actor.
If you don't know who Steve Buscemi is, type in his his name in that little box up in the corner to see some of his movies.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: WAIT do my eyes decieve me?
Review: No, it's actually a GOOD Adam Sandler movie! 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, and then is doing the bad thing with an old guy. It is hysterical when he finds out, but before he finds that out, 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. (Hence the Hooters joke) 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. Buy or rent today, this movie is hilarious!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A FUNNY AND SWEET FILM!!!!!!!!!
Review: The story of the film is really just about a guy named Sonny Koufax who has a cool life, where he has no job and basically no responsibilities, and a sexy girl friend. One day she gets fed up up with him and tells him to grow up and get a decent job. As his girl friend left he went over to see his room mate and as he entered his house everyone wasted the suprise on Sonny. Everyone was very disapointed because they wasted it on sonny when they wanted to say it to the other room mate who was leaving to china for a few weeks. As the room mate leaves Sonny gets a kid sent to him with a note saying that it was the room mates kid. Sonny called the room mate up and told him he had his kid right here. Sonny ended up looking after him and raising him to become like him which was very funny. Later on in the movie he visits his ex girl friend and tries to impress her with his kid, though things start to go wrong as Sonny finds out she's sleeping with a old man. HOW WILL SONNY WIN HER BACK!!!!!!!!! one of the funniest parts in the movie was when Sonny had a little talk yo by the kids teacher and the teacher had some very bad things to say about the kid which where very funny. Another funny bit was when the kid goes daddy can i have my night light, and so Sonny turns on a lit up sign saying live nudes with an arrow pointing to the right. I really loved this movie, it was very hillarious with more than 20 hillarious bits. It is one of the most hillarious films i had seen and the ending was very sweet and even through out the film it was sweet. Adam Sandler is a great actor and he had the most suitable part in the movie for him. Adam Sandler has done some great work and i hope he keeps up the great work. If you like this film i suggest you go see the new movie with him in, mr deeds and believe me you won't regret it, but i have to say mr deeds was not as funny as big daddy, but it is great and i hope more people in the world start to know more about Adam Sandler and understand why he is such a great funny sweet actor. If i had to have a favourite Adam sandler movie it would propbably be waterboy, which was a very sweet touching film. So yeah overall a great film worth watching, SO WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR!!!!!!!! GET OFF YOUR CHAIR AND GO HIRE THIS VIDEO!!!!!! AND SLAP THIS BABY ONTO YOUR VIDEO PLAYER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
