DVD Description

Gosh--kids. You gotta love 'em, right? Well, not necessarily-- particularly if you're Adam Sandler. But Big Daddy is about paternal devotion in its own oblique way. Sandler plays Sonny Koufax, a law-school grad who has been milking an accident settlement to cover his living expenses, while he continues to slack his way through life. But when his girlfriend threatens to dump him, he decides to show her he's serious about their relationship and pretends to adopt a little boy (in fact, his roommate's son from a one-night stand several years earlier, who shows up on their doorstep just after the roommate leaves town on a job). But after taking care of the tyke for a couple of days, Sonny finds that it's a little like feeding that stray dog that followed you home: Before you know it, you've grown attached to the little fella--and then what are you going to do? By turns crude and maudlin, Big Daddy has its share of laughs and will certainly entertain fans who like Adam Sandler best when he plays the case of arrested development with a smart-aleck retort for everything. --Marshall Fine


Customer Reviews

big daddy

The movie Big Daddy is a great movie for teenage kids.The movie is about a lazy college grad. named Sonny kofax. He adopts a kid to impress his girlfriend,but everything doesn't go as planned. So he becomes the unlikely foster father. Christian T


Funtastic!

This is by far Adam Sandler's best comedy. Adam plays a guy that just can't seem to grow up and get responsible (so typical of his characters). You felt sorry for this guy at the same time, you laughed at him. I saw this movie with my young nephews and all we did was laugh. Isn't this suppose to be what comedies are made to do? A very entertaining film that you don't have to think, just enjoy. Wonderful! Buy it...


A nice comedy

If there is one thing that Adam Sandler does well, that's comedy, and Big Daddy is just that: a good comedy.
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!
Adam Sandler, Rob Schneider, and the rest of the cast carry out their performances very well.
The setting, the plot, and the dialogues are all good, though what was the point of incorporating a homosexual couple into this movie? It came out of the blue and served no purpose whatsoever, except to taint the overall mood.
In a nutshell, it's probably not a movie you would want to add to your collection, but it will surely provide for an evening's entertainment.
