Critics consensus

“Adam Sandler acquits himself admirably, but his charm isn't enough to make up for Big Daddy 's jarring shifts between crude humor and mawkish sentimentality.”

Amiable, schizoid and disposable, Big Daddy is just as formulaic as you might imagine.

Typical Adam Sandler -- charm mixed with crude humor.

RTChicago ReaderJun 2, 2008

This light yet earnest drama starring Adam Sandler deals openly with one of the most insidious elements in popular filmmaking -- the male screenwriter's relationship with his own father.

Though it is not as side-splittingly funny as Waterboy or Happy Gilmore, it still carries universal themes that resonate today.
