Adam Sandler, a wacko, yet successful Saturday Night Live alumni, brings Big Daddy, another one of his dumb movies. In comparison with other Sandler outings, this one's pretty funny but is a whole lot more disgusting than the others. Adam Sandler plays a lazy 30 year old New Yorker whose roommate bore a child five years ago. His kid suddenly comes to the door one day (his father just happened to be in China at the time) and Sandler is left to look after him. At first Sandler doesn't like the child, but they bond (of course!). This film has some funny moments, but most rely on vulgarities and Hooter's jokes. Inappropriate content leaves this film out of the family genre.
