"Hooters" is a word heard about 15 times from Adm Sandler in this movie every time he sees his roommate's girlfriend, Leslie Mann, who once worked at Hooters, and now Adam just can't let that go. Adam's roommate has another surprise for him. The day he leaves on a business trip to Japan, his son gets dropped off at the door from social services. Actually, it's just the five year old kid that's there by himself from social services. Last time I checked, S.S. is not allowed to send a small child to someone's house unsupervised. But don't ask. This film has a number of implausabilities. Such as, how in the world did Adam get away with lying about who he was to S.S. the first time he went there with the kid and met with social worker Josh Mostel? I would think they would automatically ask you for I.D., especially if you're there about temporary custody of a small child. And how on earth did Adam break into that man's house so fast when he and the kid were trick or treating and the man refused to come to the door? He must've not had his doors locked too good. Not smart thinking when living in NY.Anyway, the movie had some good and funny parts too. I liked the little relationship that started between Adam and Leslie Mann's sister, Joey Lauren Adams. And there were some good bonding scenes between Adam and the kid. Some amusing moments included: Adam finding out his ex was sleeping with a 60 year old man, or as he called him, the Pepperage farm guy. And Adam saying to him: "hey old man river! Zip it or I'll break your hip!" Then Adam making fun of Rob Shnieder for not being able to read, especially with the way he said it when he was disguised as "Scuba Sam", the kid's toy " Scuba Steve's" father. Then there was Adam's talk with the kid's uptight kindergarten teacher, with her saying that his kid was the smelly kid. Then he asks her what he should do about that, and she answers "you should start by paying more attention to his school work". Yeh, OK, that will take care of him not smelling anymore. Then the Steve Bucemmi guy, a bum who says how he ruined his life by going through the " doing mushrooms" phase. And I really enjoyed the "lamb and tunafish" and "spaghetti and meatballs" analogy joke in the courtroom between Steve Bucemmi and Rob Shnieder. (I really liked Steve in the film "Ghost world". That was a really good film). Unfortionately, " Big daddy" also had a lot of vomit and pee jokes which I definitely coulda done without. And I also could've done without that spit thing Adam taught the kid.Finally, the social services finds out that Adam had lied about who he was, and he has to go to court. What really bugged me about the court scene was the judge. She sat there for the longest time remaining quiet while all of the different friends and family of Adam's defend him and say how good he's been to the kid. Then Adam's dad comes up to the stand and argues with him for a while about how he should never get custody of the boy. Then Adam says a couple of convincing, heartwarming things about the kid, and then Adam's dad finally says"your honor, my son deserves this child". Then everybody in the courtroom agrees and cheers. Then suddenly, after all that, that bitch of a judge then suddenly starts going on a rampage about how Adam should not only not have custody of the kid, but he should be in jail. Why would she keep quiet all that time while Adam redeems himself, and everyone else including his uptight dad acknowledges that Adam is fit to have the kid, and then all of a sudden she goes off on such a rampage? That really bugged me. I know that he shouldn't have lied about who he was to S.S., but the judge should've been mentioning that earlier in the court session and all the way through it, not her saying nothing until the very end when it looked like Adam was going to win, and then suddenly going off. Anyway, those are my two cents about this movie.

Irresponsible slacker Sonny Koufax (Adam Sandler) begrudgingly 'adopts' his best pal's son Julian (played by twins Cole and Dylan Sprouse), teaching the kid how to act as irresponsibly as he does. Inevitably, Sonny realises his mistake and rectifies the problem, but is eventually rumbled by the social service, who want to put Julian in care. Faced with losing the little guy forever, the layabout smartens up his act, hits the law books and prepares for court, determined to win Julian back.A massive dollop of schmaltzy Hollywood cheeze designed to tug at the heartstrings but leave a big smile on the face, Big Daddy is extremely formulaic stuff that simply lets Sandler do his thing: be a likable loser who learns a valuable life lesson and changes his ways for the better, all the while delivering crass gags about urinating in public and women with big boobs (Leslie Mann and Kristy Swanson bearing the brunt of many a Hooters joke). If Sandler's name in the credits doesn't make you want to turn off instantly, then this should prove a reasonably fun way to waste your time—just don't go expecting too much from it.

Sonny Koufax (Adam Sandler) is a law school graduate who's living off the $200k from a frivolous lawsuit. He has a menial job as a parking lot attendant, and his girlfriend can't take it anymore. His best friend/roommate Kevin (Jon Stewart) is getting married with Big Boobs McGee (Leslie Mann). Everybody is growing up and moving on. Then a kid (the Sprouse twins) gets dropped off with a note claiming to be Kevin's child.This was when Adam Sandler was still cute and funny as the wise cracking slacker. He and the Sprouse twins are funny together. And it's got a good story of a manchild learning to grow up. His arrested development schtick is still hilarious.

I Like most of Adam Sandlers movies, okay the humor is what people would call "low", but i didn't like this one at all. It was not funny and as a big fan of 'Big Daddy' and ' Jack & Jill' this one was really a disappointment. He's a complete idiot in this one, he's to aggressive and rude. A Hockey player that plays golf so that he can save his grandmother's house? That's just stupid and that's all what this movie is about, stupid jokes. The only think i liked about it was the cameo of Ben Stiller. I like his goofy movies more, like 'you don't mess with the zohan' " Mr.Deeds' ' Big Daddy'. Those are funny and tells you a comical story. I give Happy Gilmore 3 Star out of 10.
