  Adam Sandler's Big Daddy is Big on Laughs- His Best DVD
Review created: 10/08/05(updated 01/26/06)
5 of 8 people found this review helpful.

You'll instantly recognize the faces in Big Daddy from the other Adam Sandler movies... and its just as funny as those (including Happy Gilmore, Mr. Deeds, etc). Big Daddy is the story of Sonny Koufax (Adam Sandler) as he breaks up with his girlfriend and fights to prove that he's fit (though hes not so fit!) to be a great dad. The best part of the movie isn't Sandler himself - its his crew of friends who bring the various misfit characters to life. Big Daddy is a big hoot - lots of funny scenes and many great lines.

Great Big Daddy Quote

Layla: This is Styx.
Sonny: Yeah.
Layla: They've been my favorite band since I was, like, twelve.
Sonny: You're kidding me?
Layla: No, no, I can't help it, I just love them. My friends make fun of me all the time.
Sonny: My friends make fun of me all the time, too. I've seen them, like, twenty-five times. Tommy Shaw, when I was, like, sixteen years old, I was at the concert, he actually reached out and grabbed my hand, pulled me up on stage, and I got to do the robot voice for Mr. Roboto!

Big Daddy is not the best but pretty good

If you're expecting the usual Adam Sandler slapstick, over-the-top comedy you'll be greatly dissapointed. I'm not a huge Sandler fan but I do get a kick out of him on occasion.

Big Daddy just didn't deliver the laughs I thought it would. It's not a bad film, it's just not as funny as I thought it would be.

Final Verdict:

3/5

Rent or Buy?: Not a must buy in my opinion but pretty decent.

It arrived on time. I did not buy this item to be compelled to write a review consisting of at least 100 characters and will seriously think about buying from a differen venue because of the mandated narrative. the radio buttons are more than enough.

Review created: 05/18/08

I'm a Sandler fan, so consequently I am a bit bias. This film follows the formula of most Sandler flicks, an equal dose of comedy and heart. Only issue I have is that I'm not crazy about his love interest; no chemistry. Overall, a great picture.

not sure I like the way he treats the little boy in the begaining but the story line is great and from a single guys point of view this is really closer then we think to real life. Adam will make you laugh in this one most of the movie.

First off I will buy anything that Adam Sandler is in ,he is a wonderful actor . In this he is very funny but serious also ,especially when it comes to the child , he teaches a lot of things to the kid especially that he is their for him,always,and the child ends up teaching a lot of stuff to Big Daddy,there is nothing not to like about this movie.

this is a great movie very cute and funny, i highly recommend it. its about a man who has a 5yr old child come into his life and he is left to take care of it (he claims it as his own to save a friend who was out of town and doesnt know about the child either, and newly engaged how would he explain?), he feels that with the assistance of his GF he can do well, only to find out his GF is leaving him for a gray haired old man. shocked and left as a single faher to this young boy he takes the child under his wing but then social services get more involved than intended when the bachelor ways of this man begin to show more and more in the 5yr old little boy.

Once Sonny Koufax is dumped by his girlfriend, he's got to prove to her that he is a good man, so he adopts a little child to prove that he is a nice and caring man.She's not impressed and Sonny can't return the kid.He now has to take care of the kid, but the problem is, is he teaching him right?

  Not as bad as you would expect
Review created: 06/05/00
by: buffoonery -- a member of Epinions

Pros:
Funny, almost

Cons:
Vulgar, obscene, puerile--Bergman this ain't

Honest, there are some bits that are actually funny. I've never been much of an Adam Sandler fan. Dating back to his SNL days, I found him to be juvenile, predictable, and not particularly funny. Opera Man and the rest of that nonsense bored the death out of me and I found Meyers and Carvey to be much more interesting. Now don't get me wrong: there's a place for juvenile and predictable humor (I love the Stooges, Animal House, etc.), but there's no excuse for the not particularly funny part. So I haven't paid much attention to his movies. In the meantime, though, Sandler has found his niche...

  Sandler's been funnier.
Review created: 06/23/00
by: scott29 -- a member of Epinions

Pros:
Sandler gets a few laughs.

Cons:
Just a few.

A collection of pretty funny outtakes from Adam Sandler's earlier movies, with a small child inserted through the magic of CGI. I was especially impressed with the way they made these edited pieces seem like an actual plot narrative, although you can see a few points where nothing matches up at all. Big Daddy is all premise, and no plot. Yes, I think Adam Sandler is quite funny. No, I'm not a self-proclaimed comedy purist who only thinks an actor's first three movies are always his best. It's just that Big Daddy seems like an outline for a vehicle that they had to use because the kid puked on.

Review created: 05/02/06
by: lazario -- a member of Epinions

Pros:
A progressive / realistic look at a gay couple, portrays friends as loyal and supportive

Cons:
Not funny at all, not smart, not creative, not interesting

Adam Sandler doesn't exactly have the greatest track record with movies. Though he has amassed quite a fanbase, would you trust people who thought any of his films prior to The Wedding Singer were classics? However, after such embarrassments as Going Overboard, Billy Madison, Happy Gilmore, and Bulletproof - he was finally able to hit a bit of a home run with Singer, The Waterboy (which despite it's utter lack of humor was not a bad film at all, really), and Punch Drunk Love. However, this roll was not without a questionable bump in it's road. That bump was known as Big Daddy. Now, by all...

Review created: 07/05/01
by: Debbie26 -- a member of Epinions

Pros:
Funny, Adam Sandler, Interesting story

Cons:
nothing

I have watched this movie many times and each time I laugh even harder. Have you ever laughed so hard that tears roll down your face? That is the kind of laughter that this movie brings. Adam Sandler plays Sonny Koufax, an out of work law school graduate who is making a profession of unemployment. Sonny is living off of money he got from an accident settlement and blowing off all responsibility. This role is perfect for Sandler as he is given the opportunity to throw out one liners in a way that only he can. While Sandler's character is funny by himself he becomes much funnier when a child...

  Who's Your Daddy??
Review created: 08/05/00
by: gym-378 -- a member of Epinions

Pros:
Great story and a lot of fun

Cons:
This is a movie about kids, but not FOR kids

Big Daddy is a great film for anyone who has kids or has spent any time with kids. Does that mean it's a great movie for kids?? Not really. But babysitting teens and adults can truly appreciate the experiences of Sonny Koufax (Adam Sandler) and his "adopted son" Julian (played by twins Cole and Dylan Sprouse). The story focuses on Sonny's decision to care for a small boy dropped off on his doorstep. Having nothing better to do, Sonny decides that he wants to be a "big daddy" in order to impress his girlfriend and to show is dad that he can be responsible. Unfortunately, Sonny has no clue as...
