Big Daddy, Adam Sandler's latest proof to the world that he is an ape wearing a man suit, is an attempt to emulate feelings.
Big Daddy attempts to be funny, it attempts to be romantic, and it attempts to be touching.

 Adam Sandler: Big Daddy - Movie
To me, Big Daddy is - in its own quirky, Sandler-ish way - a tribute to all the fathers out there who genuinely love their children.
Big Daddy is a movie in which Adam Sandler stars as a toll booth guy (Sonny Koufax) trying to raise a kid on his own to impress his " girlfriend " Vanessa (Kristy Swanson).
Big Daddy is my favorite Sandler movie, and one of my favorite ever movies, simply because of its humor and simple enough story.

 Big Daddy (1999/I)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
It's hard not to like "Big Daddy", though diehard fans of Adam Sandler may well cringe at this further step in the sentimentalization of the comic actor.
"Big Daddy" might have been a better film if it had not given in so easily to sentimentality and predictable emotional uplift, but Sandler's deadpan portrayal of an immature adult forced to grow up into responsibility-laden fatherhood makes the film relatively enjoyable.
Overall, "Big Daddy" is a movie that, if it had taken more audacious pathways, might have been a firstrate comedy.

Maybe it’s because now that Sandler’s movies open to 40 million weekends they have to be examined more critically.
Big Daddy is filled with cute moments but doesn’t add up.
Well, Big Daddy has a boring sitcom like setting to compliment it’s lame plot devices.

Big Daddy is crude and obvious, sloppy and mawkish, contrived and clumsily manipulative, and yet it still works.
Big Daddy is easily the laziest, most slapdash and altogether crummy picture Sandler's done to date.

 Big Daddy Movie Mistake : Fast Waitress
So 4 seconds for a drink in a movie is probably about equivalent to 10 minutes or more in real world time.
The waitress also had a beer on the tray, but it was just one scene in a movie and it doesn't really matter about how fast the waitress was.
I've seen enough movies where people order and don't drink so many that the amount of liquid powered for movies probably equals more than the milk produced by cows in a year.

 PlanetWisdom - Big Daddy Movie Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
In Big Daddy, Sandler plays a slacker slob (he works one day a week) who stumbles into a relationship with a five year old kid.
The comedy is supposed to come from the fact that Daddy Sandler is such a lousy parent - but it just didn't work for me. First he teaches the kid to trip rollerbladers in the park.
In his big speech to his own father, Sandler says he'll be a good dad because he just loves the kid so much.

I liked Big Daddy and liken it more to the work that Sandler did in The Wedding Singer.

All the trailers are full-frame with 5.1 sound except the Ghostbusters, which is 2.0 stereo, and the Big Daddy Teaser and Go trailer, which are 1.85.

 JoBlo reviews the movie "Big Daddy"
This movie was an insult to a movie.
This movie was a kick ass two hours and don't diss this movie because the kid that was in the movie might think he's the worst actor ever.
It is a humorous, yet absolutely heart filled movie that just shows how much people will do to show how much they love a child, even if it doesn't turn out to be their own.

The tepid movie is supposed to up the ante for Sandler much as "Liar, Liar" did for Jim Carrey (it elevated him from gross-out gag king to warm comic actor).
The movie brings to the screen the story of a good-hearted though rather lazy and immature young man who in an effort to save his relationship attempts to impress his girlfriend by adopting a five-year-old boy!
Big Daddy is about a guy named Sonny (Adam Sandler) who adopts a 5 year old kid (Julian) under the name of his room-mate, Kevin Garrety (Jon Stewart) to impress his girlfriend Vanessa (Kristy Swanson).

 Laramie Movie Scope: Big Daddy
In "Big Daddy," Sandler continues his increasingly popular string of hits by playing another underachiever, Sonny Koufax.
While public urination and the sabotage of inline skaters do make up a portion of the humor of this movie, it is really more about the way children have of destroying people's preconceived notions about parenthood.
The relationship between Koufax and some of the other adults in the movie, including his father, is not as convincing.

 zBoneman Movie Reviews
While filming Big Daddy, ex-SNL funny man Adam Sandler learned that the success of The Waterboy would put him in the $20 million dollar club.
Thankfully, Big Daddy is a big step up from the soggy Water Boy.
Big Daddy is breezy, summer entertainment that turns out much better than The Waterboy, but has only half the charm of The Wedding Singer and half the laughs of Billy Madison and Happy Gilmore.

 The Original Movie Review- Big Daddy
Big Daddy is a story about a hopeless bachelor named Sonny Koufax, played by Sandler, who adopts a child in order to win over his girlfriend.
First off, though you may think that the plot seems reasonable, it is really just an excuse to show a father feeding his son ketchup and let him do whatever he wants.
On the whole though, the movie is pretty funny, and when you get done watching it, you will be satisfied.

 Big Daddy - Cincinnati.Com
Then suddenly, he pulls a switcheroo, and the movie turns into a tearful drama.
Here on the flip-side, we find a highly emotional story about a grown man wallowing in juvenile cynicism until his defenses are shattered by a little boy.
The movie also boasts limited but respectable supporting work from Jon Stewart and Joey Lauren Adams, and an entirely charming presence in the Sprouse twins.

Review (B) Big Daddy is Adam Sandler's latest movie as he continues to try to make achievements over his previous movies, Happy Gilmore, Billy Madison, and The Waterboy.
Big Daddy is filled with a lot of potty jokes, some sex jokes, and gay jokes, but everything is pretty tame compared to his other pictures, and definitely to the other comedy out at theaters, American Pie.
Realistically, this movie could be watched and liked by the whole family, big or small, but, of course, parents are usually opposed to Adam Sandler because he is...

 The-Reel-McCoy -- Big Daddy   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
This funny thought is what the movie is based on and, as a result, the Big Daddy is what you would expect it to be: a blatantly awful, but funny, representation of juvenile parenting skills.
However, to take the movie somewhere besides a few laughs, the plot attempts to weave in some sort of moral by the end.
To me, this gave the movie a trashy quality, and made it seem insincere when the script attempted to bring maturity and a moral by the movie's end.

I'm not a comic snob and humour of any kind done well appeals to me, so that's not the reason I've not made it to a Sandler flick until now.
There are few novel jokes here and most of the funniest ones are already shown in the previews.
, the movie relies primarily on Sandler's personality and while he does a great job of carrying it a lot of the time, he doesn't always succeed.

 BIG DADDY - Main Movie Page...CinemaReview.com....Movie Reviews, Movie Contents, Moviegoer Opinions and Much More!
A fairly dopey movie, but not an overtly insulting one.
In BIG DADDY, Sandler wants to be one of those laughing on the outside, crying on the inside clowns, and plugs himself into a sentimental, irritatingly generic high concept comedy.
If Sandler worried about keeping us laughing, and understood he's more fun to watch when he is a child than when he has one, there wouldn't be enough time to get bogged down in the cheap emotions or sloppy writing.

 Movie Review: Big Daddy (1999)
But I would easily say, without a doubt, that Big Daddy was the weakest of them all.
I suppose it would be grossly unfair to compare the two movies, but comedy is comedy.
But the worst parts of Big Daddy are the insipid moments of seriousness, when the movie turns from dumb comedy to touching heartfelt drama.
