Movie Reviews of Big Daddy
Movie Review: Big Daddy is Big Hit.
Summary: 5 Stars
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). He finds out his girlfriend is dating an older guy and Sonny is dumped and left with the kid. Sonny decides he can take care of him until Social Services can find an foster home for him, but Sonny falls in love with the kid and avoids Social Services. Then Social Services finds out Sonny was using Kevin's name and they take the kid away. Sonny tries to fight for him, but unable to get him and custody goes to the real Kevin who is in China for most of the movie. Juilan wants Sonny to be his dad, but Sonny says he can't, but he can always be his friend. So the movie ends at a happy note.
During the movie you'll have some laughs, giiggles and some tear jerking scenes. The funniest part of the movie is the court room scene, with Nazo, Mr. Hurley and the Bum. I almost cried when Social Services takes Julien away.
Overall great story-line. By far the best comedy and great story to a movie.
Rating: 10/10
Movie Review: adam sandler shines
Summary: 5 Stars
Adam Sandler seems to spark negative opinions more often than not. Some people don't like his style of humor, while other people just think he's overrated. But in my opinion, he's a great actor who can be really funny at times, and sometimes not so funny. It really just depends on the kind of story he's involved with for whatever movie he's in.
However, this is one really rare moment when his humor is not overbearing and completely tolerable for just about anyone to get into. You have plenty of emotions where Adam and the child character communicate with each other in such a way where you can't help but enjoy Adam's character. Every actor needs a movie like this in their long and winding career.
Sure, at the time we weren't sure if a comedian such as Adam Sandler would fit in with this kind of role in a movie. Over time we see that yes, it worked very well. Great movie.
Movie Review: WAIT do my eyes decieve me?
Summary: 5 Stars
No, it's actually a GOOD Adam Sandler movie! 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, and then is doing the bad thing with an old guy. It is hysterical when he finds out, but before he finds that out, 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. (Hence the Hooters joke) 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. Buy or rent today, this movie is hilarious!Movie Review: Having a kid is great... as long as his eyes are closed and he's not moving or speaking
Summary: 5 Stars
The review from "The New Yorker" on this page is probably one of the most pompous and hollow reviews I've ever read. "Big Daddy" is a great movie. I'm a long-time Adam Sandler fan but, put it this way, after seeing this movie, so is my mother. She's usually not into this kind of comedy, but this has become one of her all-time favorite movies. So, saying that "Anyone looking to solve the mystery of Adam Sandler's mass appeal is not going to do it here" seems to be a ridiculous statement.
The movie is funny from "all angles". The story is good, the cast is as solid as I've ever seen in a comedy, etc, etc... Whether or not you're usually into Sandler's brand of comedy, you will most likely appreciate this film. I feel that this is Adam Sandler at his best - and it is certainly one of his most successful projects.
Highly recommended.
Movie Review: This movie really shows Adam Sandler's soft side.
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great movie, all around. It's got comedy like every Adam Sandler movie, but it's also got a real show of heart. I mean, what are you supposed to do when a kid shows up on your doorstep and you're told that he's your roommate's son, but your roommate is off on a business trip? Julian is an adorable little guy, and you can really see that he got attached to Sonny, only to be told that he had to go away by the social services. That tugs at the heartstrings, especially when Julian is being led out of Sonny's apartment by the social worker repeating "But I wipe my own ass!", thinking that it was his fault he had to go away. Adam Sandler's character really showed a soft side when he gave that speech in court when it was going to be decided whether Julian would stay with him or with the adoption services. Overall, it's a wonderful movie.
