Fluentiama Perfect cast and a good story
Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
Derry Herrera 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.
studioAT Your enjoyment of this film will be based on how favourably you rate the main actor, Adam Sandler.For me he's OK in small doses, and of all his films this is perhaps where he's most likable, interacting well with the Sprouse twins.It's not a great comedy though, and despite some nice moments is largely forgettable.
Floated2 Big Daddy was released during he summer of June 1999, and it was Adam Sandler's most successful and biggest box office worldwide hit for many years (until Grown Ups in 2010). Sandler plays his typical characters that he has played so well over the yeas and here he is very similar yet plays it well that it connects well enough with the story,and the flow is great. Big Daddy is construct in which, as ever, the world is that safe, hurling logs in the path of speeding roller-bladers is satisfyingly amusing, while the American legal and social services systems seem to operate on a chaotically arbitrary and scarily trusting basis. Though the film manages to be quite consistently funny, with each juvenile gag balanced by the odd spark of wit and outrageousness, although a courtroom finale allowing Sandler and his writers to get their father-son relationship themes out of their systems, is predictably and excruciatingly over the top. The film manages to blend comedy and drama well, and the conclusion and several final scenes who that the writers were able to make the viewers have several touching moments.
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
diego-vb91 I Like most of Adam Sandlers movies, okay the humor is what people would call "low", but i didn't like this one at all. It was not funny and as a big fan of 'Big Daddy' and ' Jack & Jill' this one was really a disappointment. He's a complete idiot in this one, he's to aggressive and rude. A Hockey player that plays golf so that he can save his grandmother's house? That's just stupid and that's all what this movie is about, stupid jokes. The only think i liked about it was the cameo of Ben Stiller. I like his goofy movies more, like 'you don't mess with the zohan' " Mr.Deeds' ' Big Daddy'. Those are funny and tells you a comical story. I give Happy Gilmore 3 Star out of 10.
