About
If you want a late-90s Adam Sandler comedy with laughs and genuine heart, Big Daddy may land for you; Not for you if you dislike juvenile or sometimes problematic humor, or if you’re only after Happy Gilmore-style chaos or Grown Ups-level group comedy.
Pros: funny and charming; heart in it; solid laughs | Cons: some crude humor; uneven consistency; can feel forgettable
