Steinesongo Too many fans seem to be blown away
Actuakers One of my all time favorites.
Mischa Redfern I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.
Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
mariasangria Like I say in the title of this review, another great Sandler movie. Adam Sandler plays a very likable character in the movie Big Daddy, and this is an overall great movie. I just don't think it lives up to Happy Gilmore or anything like that. Happy is a much more likable character in my opinion, but I still liked Sonny, who Adam plays. My only critique is the ending. I would've ended it where the boy ends up with Sonny, and not with his actual father, but...I mean, I don't know. I just found Sonny's character so much more of a character you'd want the kid to end up with, and not as much the father and Corrine.Still a pretty good ending though, and an overall good movie to sit down and watch. Maybe just not hot buttered popcorn worthy. 7\10 for this funny and enjoyable Sandler comedy.
Mike LeMar Why hold a trial in your courtroom if you're going to overrule everything at the end and come out with the bottom line without any decision by a jury? I'm, of course, talking to the judge. Everybody who knows Sonny gets up there to testify their opinion about how he is as a father to determine if he's cut out to take over Julian and then the judge finally overrules every bit of it to cut the B.S. and states that the bottom line is that he kidnapped that kid, which is illegal. So, all testimonies were a complete waste of time.
Terryfan 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
trooper5783 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.
