Advantages: good comedy with good extras too
Disadvantages: none really

The story is typically American and blends Jerry Maguire with Dumb and Dumber. Our hero, Sonny Koufax, is played by Adam Sandler – a well know comedy genius famous for Saturday night live and hit films such as The Wedding Singer and Waterboy. As per usual Sandler plays a social misfit but this time his character is a misfit by choice. Mr Koufax senior is a very well respected lawyer and Sonny has the potential to emulate his father. Sonny, ... Read review

Advantages: Funny and touching at the same time
Disadvantages: Some bits are a little too sentimental

...a selection. However I spotted Big Daddy and as I liked Happy Gilmore so much I decided to purchase this particular film. This could possibly be the best decision I have ever made regarding my entertainment system. Adam Sandler plays Sonny Cofax, a man that hasn't exactly made the most of his life. He lives with his flatmate and has a one night a week job at a toll booth. He is childish and wastes his money on just about anthing he see's. His ... Read review

What a brilliant film !! This is one of my all time favourite films of recent times. This film will cheer you up no matter how down in the dumps you are feeling. THE BASIC IDEA OF THE STORYLINE Sonny ( played by Adam Sandler – also starred in the Wedding Singer and The Waterboy) lives along with his business type flat mate in an apartment. Sonny’s girlfriend has just left him for a more mature guy – she thinks Sonny is too ... Read review

Advantages: brilliant family movie
Disadvantages: a little swearing making unsuitable for the younger child

Ok you can call me slow, I know this film has been around for a fair while now, but I have only just got round to see it. And that was simply because Virgin mega stores had a deal on videos (4 for £20). I initially bought it for the children, but thoroughly enjoyed it myself also. Big Daddy is a film that can confidently brag both to being funny and touching. It depicts a young go-as-you-please-I-don’t-want-any-responsibility- man, whose ... Read review

Advantages: HILLARIOUS ONE LINERS
Disadvantages: MAKES YOU LOOK AT YOUR LIFE AND REALISE THAT YOU ARE STILL TWELVE

Big Daddy I bet if I asked you, who’s Adam Sandler? Then the answer from 99% of you would be, Adam who? For this reason he is one of the film industries best kept assets. For all those who do not know who he is, he was the funny if yet geeky bloke in ‘The Waterboy’, and the title role in ‘The Wedding Singer’. Big Daddy stars Sandler as thirty two year old twelve years old, Sonny Koufax. He has failed at most things ... Read review

Advantages: funny film, 2 music videos
Disadvantages: needs more DVD extras

This is a definate Adam Sandler comedy - much along the likes of Happy Gilmore, and Billy Madison - man will not grow up, stuff happens, man grows up. What makes this different from the two I just mentioned, is that the character Adam Sandler plays is likeable. Sandler plays Sonny Koufax, a ex-trial lawyer, doing nothing and living of the proceeds of an accident. His life turns upside down when his gilfriend dumps him for a much older man, ... Read review

Advantages: If you like adam sandler watch it
Disadvantages:

Big Daddy- Sonny Koufax (Adam Sandler) is the irresponsible guy - he has no job, no manners, and no clue. Although Sonny has somehow managed to get a girlfriend, she is tired of his aimless ways, and gives him an ultimatum - do something with your life or I leave. Fate steps in with a ready-made 'solution': Sonny will raise the little boy who was dropped off at the apartment with a note proclaiming his roommate (Jon Stewart) the father, his girlfriend ...

Advantages: A bit of everything
Disadvantages: none

This film has got everything from bucket loads of laughter to a weepy part in the middle. I really enjoy watching this film for its variety and its great quality of actors. Big Daddy stars my favourite actor Adam Sandler, I personnaly think he is great and he plays an amazing role in this film. He plays Sonny Covaks who got run over and claimed loads of compensation and thus lives in a appatment just lying around doing nothing. Then one day a little ... Read review

Disadvantages:

I am a big Adam Sandler fan, so it is of no great twist of fate that I was one of the firsts ones out to see this movie. And I was not disappointed. Once again, Adam Sandler has provided the laughs that make a very good film. The story follows Adam, a not-so-young, but very immature young man who adopts a child without any knowledge of how to deal with one, thanking it may make his girlfriend stay with him. Unfortunately that all goes wrong and he ... Read review
