| Adam Sandler vehicles are never anything special, but continue to make a
load of money. Which really goes to show the sad state of cinema today.
While good comedies like Rushmore, to choose a recent example, gets limited

| Basically, Adam's a 30-year old still living the life of a teenager and
liking it. But, his girlfriend has had enough of his non-committal attitude;
so 1) she takes a hike, 2) small child arrives at his doorstep, 3) Sandler
decides to adopt the kid in...more |

| Big Daddy is a very enjoyable movie. I was flipping
back and forth over the weekend trying to figure out how to review this film.
Despite its flaws, it is still very funny and very clever. However, its flaws
distract from the movie-going experience....more |

| Adam Proudly-Rude-And-Obnoxious Sandler is back. This time he uses his
mean-spirited shtick to teach our kids a series of would-be humorous,
bad lessons. From how to ridicule poor, minimum wage clerks to how to
cause bodily injury to innocent...more |

| Although the picture of Adam Sandler raising a child is a frightening
thought, he is acting as a father figure in his newest comedy. Big Daddy
gives us an impression of what the spawn of Sandler may appear as, and
the result is much sweeter than...more |

I get to write a really rotten review is the most fun. Seeing the movie is

pleasure. In taking these...more |

| Before I published my favorable review of Adam Sandler's "The
Waterboy" last fall, I should have heeded the warning Sandler used as
the title for one of his CDs -- "They're All Gonna Laugh At You."

| Happy Gilmore as a father? Of course! That's the latest scenario
presented by Adam Sandler in the new movie Big Daddy, a movie that's
passable but isn't really considered some of Sandler's best work. more |

| I was genuinely surprised by this film. That almost all of the
attempted drama completely fails is no surprise. Strangely enough,
though, most of the humor fails too. Adam Sandler is by no means a
great actor, but at least he can normally be counted...more |

| /Big Daddy/ happens to be my first Adam Sandler movie. 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. It was
just coincidence. more |

| In "Big Daddy," Sandler plays Sonny Koufax, a law school graduate who
