Big Daddy Ratings & Reviews
Newsweek
David Ansen
Amiable, schizoid and disposable, Big Daddy is just as formulaic as you might imagine.
Common Sense Media
Nell Minow
Typical Adam Sandler -- charm mixed with crude humor.
Chicago Reader
Lisa Alspector
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.
Houston Chronicle
Jeff Millar
Funny-sweet, understand, not bleccchh sweet.
San Francisco Chronicle
Edward Guthmann
Worst of all is the way Sandler wants to have it both ways: to muck around in gross-out humor one minute and then turn schmaltzy the next minute with some fraudulent business about how much he loves the kid.
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
There's no doubt Sandler is talented, but if he persists in believing that, like Elvis, his presence alone covers a multitude of omissions and inconsistencies, he will squander his gift and make a series of forgettable films in the process.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
Big Daddy should be reported to the child welfare office.
Salon.com
Mary Elizabeth Williams
The film's jokes, stretched out over 90 minutes, aren't that funny.
San Jose Mercury News
Julie Hinds
It's got the same kind of warmth as The Wedding Singer.
The Hollywood Reporter
Kirk Honeycutt
The actors bring an appealing energy to their simplistic roles, enough so to wring laughs from the most Sandler-resistant audience members.
Variety
Robert Koehler
Result is uneven; the story's more serious intentions often jar with the goofy sideshow.
Village Voice
Michael Atkinson
There are tearful moments of orphan anxiety, with swelling score peaks you'd swear belong to the Julia Roberts movie playing next door.
Arizona Republic
Bob Fenster
Big Daddy is surprisingly sentimental and consistently amusing.
San Francisco Examiner
Wesley Morris
Being a jerk par excellence should mean never having to say you're sorry.
Film.com
Sean P. Means
Big Daddy shows that Sandler the movie persona may be ready for adulthood, but Sandler the moviemaker isn't getting any more mature.
New York Times
Janet Maslin
A flimsy sentimental comedy with more product plugs and fewer laughs than might have been hoped for.
Detroit News
Susan Stark
Adam Sandler's sweetness just busts out all over. It's a wondrous thing to watch.
Dallas Morning News
Tom Maurstad
Gratuitously gross and/or provocative humor.
Chicago Tribune
Mark Caro
Sandler has remarkably little funny to do or say in Big Daddy!
New York Magazine/Vulture
Peter Rainer
Adam Sandler's new comedy is being touted as a step forward for him, which I find funnier than anything in the movie.
