Summary: Best Adam Sandler Movie Yet
Review: Big Daddy was better than I thought it would be. When I first heard it was coming out I said to myself "It can't top Happy Gilmore or Billy Madison" but it did it was THE BEST ADAM SANDLER MOVIE YET.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: ADAM SANDLER IS THE BEST!
Review: OH MY GOSH! This was soooooo funny! Adam Sandler, yet again, did a *spectacular* video! Adam Sandler goes great with Jon Stewtart(Daily Show, Comedy Central). And these two new cuties, Cole and Dylan Sprouse(Julian McGarth) are sooo cute and funny! I can tell that they are gonna be in *a lot* more movies! If you haven't seen, "Big Daddy," go rent it today! Or even better, buy it! Its worth every penny you have!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Not academy award quality; but still cute and funny!
Review: The main reason I was never interested in this movie was, ADAM SANDLER! He's always obnoxious and crude, tending to irritate me like fingernails on a blackboard. However, one night this movie came on HBO, and since nothing else was on, I figured, why not watch it? And guess what? I actually ended up ENJOYING IT! Big Daddy IS a bit cliched (immature guy wants to prove to his girlfriend that he is responsible, so he manages to trick social services into allowing him to adopt a five year old boy. Of course, he doesn't know the first thing about kids, so he's in for quite a LOT of surprises!), and yes, the movie does get a bit corny at times. However,it's also very cute; extremely funny at times, and you don't even end up hating Adam Sandler by the end of the movie! As a matter of fact, you actually (surprise, surprise)find yourself routing for him, when social services tries to take the kid away. My advice? Give this movie a chance, even if you aren't a big Adam Sandler fan! You will laugh, you might even cry, and you will most certainly be entertained! (Warning: This movie would NOT be appropriate for very young children, even though there is a child in it. Definitely geared for adults, only)!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Cool, but could of been cooler.
Review: I have a bone or two to pick with the film Big Daddy, and a few to pick with Adam Sandler. I really love all Sandler's movies, but unfortunately, this was a toal wrong turn, he was terrible, stupid and doesn't show his natural comedic talent. And Dylan and Cole Sprouse show the worst child performance I have ever seen. But still, the acting wouldn't really put comedy fans off the hook, because this film is funny, enjoyable and clever. I was suprised to see Steve Buscemi directing and not starring, as he would of been perfect for Rob Schneiders role as the homy who likes McDonalds.

Sonny (Sandler) is an irresponsible adult who is like a child. But soon, he will become face-to-face with a REAL child when his girlfriend makes him adopt young Julian (Sprouse kids) to prove her worthy. Will Sonny be his normal lazy self, or will this kid show him real fun and the meaning of having a good time?

Predicatable, silly, but overall fun and cool. See it if you want bigs laughs and a small story. COOL.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Adam! What have they done to you!
Review: This movie had attempts at jokes that were even worse than the one atempted in the Truman Show! This wasn't funny at all! I wouldn't even recomend this to a die-hard Adam Sandler fan! Do yourselves a favor and rent the Waterboy or Happy Gilmore instead!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A Must for Adam Sandler Fans
Review: I recently purchased this disk expecting something great and was not dissapointed. The plot has Sonny(Adam Sandler) taking care of a child(Julian). While the movie is not all laughs it certainly has its moments. The extras on the DVD were adaquate to say the least. The to music videos were a welcomed addition along with the trailers, the making of Big Daddy video and character bios. All things considered unless you absolutely despise Sandlers antics this will be a welcomed addition to your collection.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Funny and Endearing
Review: This is not like other Adam Sandler films. This story has a real heart to it. Sandler is great playing Sonny, a child in a man's body who takes over care of a young child and learns the need for responsability and patience. There are a few of the typical Sandler sophomoric gags, such as the whole premise of his character's interaction with a foreign delivery guy, but I think people who are not normally big on Adam's movies will find some endearing traits to this flick.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Pretty cool.
Review: Most likely all movie-goers will enjoy this movie, even the thick ones who don't like silly comedies. I enjoyed the film, but it could of been better, maybe some music, better direction and improved acting from Sandler would of earnt the film 5 stars. oh, and yeah, if that Cole Sprouse thinks he is going to be the next Haley Joel Osment, think again, brother.

Overall a funny and enjoyable movie with an awesome cast, something good to watch on a Saturday.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Some kind of bad
Review: I am a big fan of Sandler - this makes it all the more difficult to slam this movie. This was a 3 star movie - a marginal recommend - until the movie wraps up. I'm all for a happy ending but this was ridiculous! Our hero gets married, now works as a lawyer, has a child of his own, is still best buds with his original "son" Julian, and to top it off he can have a laugh at his ex-girlfriend working a menial job at Hooters with the guy she dumped him for. Just like it works in real life, right? Ugh! The ending is bad enough to knock this movie down to one star. Sandler's talents are wasted with this dog.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Not as good as the trailer would make you believe!
Review: 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!
