by David Wilcock |
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
release and doesn't make a lot of...more |

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 |

This is the part I love. After seeing a slew of bad movies, the part where
I get to write a really rotten review is the most fun. Seeing the movie is
both annoying and boring, but reviewing it is where I get my perverse
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."
And most of my friends and co-workers did...more |

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 |
Big Daddy Review |
by Stephen Sills |
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 |

Adam Sandler's movies are sort of like watching a performer on amateur

laugh, although just barely), and you hope that the next time you see
that particular comedic performer that he or...more |

Susan Granger's review of "BIG DADDY" (Columbia Pictures)
Once again, Adam Sandler is playing dumb all the way to the

Sandler plays the grown-up kid - only, this time, he has a...more |

If the image of Adam Sandler screaming "SOMEONE GET THIS KID A

is definitely for you. more |

In "Big Daddy," Sandler plays Sonny Koufax, a law school graduate who
works once a week as a toll booth operator while living off the $200,000 he
was awarded from a traffic accident lawsuit. (A taxicab had run over his
foot.) more |

Adam Sandler has become one of the most bankable stars of the decade,

It's a shame that his films aren't as consistently good cinematically as
they are at the box-office; since he...more |
