Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.
In other words,this film is a surreal ride.
Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.
View MoreOne of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
View MoreThis is such a sweet movie to me! I love it so much and I love the chemistry between Adam Sandler and this kid! I cannot believe this kid is Dylan and Cole Sprouse! That is crazy! I love Suite Life Of Zack and Cody! Anyways, this movie is a favorite of mine. Adam has such heart for this child, obviously not at first but over time he grew to love the kid. I love seeing their relationship grow and it is such a sweet story. Dylan and Cole Sprouse are so good in this movie as well. They are so cute, likable and you really feel for him and you want him to go with Sunny. I will always love this movie and this movie will never get old to me. This is one of Adam's best performances in my opinion and I wish he would make more simple and funny stories like this one. Adam Sandler is one of my favorite comedians ever!
View More'Big Daddy' is a sweet, fun little film and a good way to pass an hour and a half. Adam Sandler is a naturally funny actor and provides some good laughs in 'Big Daddy', though I wouldn't consider this among his best movies.There isn't much of a plot to this film, but then again, the simplicity of the story allows for more silly jokes and laughs. As a comedy, it does its job, even if it isn't anything particularly special or laugh out loud funny, it will make you smile.Overall, a decent piece of light entertainment. Recommended to pass the time and for a good laugh.
View MoreYou 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
View MoreBig Daddy (1999): Dir: Dennis Dugan / Cast: Adam Sandler, Leslie Mann, Kristy Swanson, Rob Schneider, Jon Stewart: Big scene involves Adam Sandler teaching a boy to urinate on a wall. That was the advertizing poster as if the studio felt that the toilet was inappropriate. Perhaps he should have taught the kid how to wipe his ass with the film's script. Title regards higher adolescence with Sandler put in charge of a kid. It is obvious that he will grow to love the boy and avoids having him placed in a foster home. Director Dennis Dugan still hasn't improved any. He still uses mindless vulgarity to get a cheap laugh. This sort of humour can be funny within certain context but here it just looks desperate. The big joke is suppose to be Sandler as a father figure but nothing he does is remotely interesting. Leslie Mann plays his brain dead girlfriend. Kristy Swanson plays his brain dead ex-girlfriend. Did I mention that Rob Schneider was in this sh*t too? Jon Stewart plays one of Sandler's friends who is forging ahead, but career wise, this is only forging ahead to embarrassment. One could argue that this film regards adult role models and bringing children up within a safe environment but the main agenda seems to be urine and fart jokes that become way outdated within the first twenty minutes. Perhaps they should urinate on this film and see if it will flush down the toilet. Score: 1 / 10
