Big Daddy

CriticsCritics: 41
AudienceAudience: 6.7

A carefree law school graduate takes in a young boy to win back his girlfriend, but the arrangement quickly becomes more complicated than expected. As they adjust to life together, the irresponsible bachelor begins confronting the demands of fatherhood and the need to grow up.

My take

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a light, sentimental comedy with goofy humor and an unlikely parent-child bond; Not for you if you dislike crude jokes or uneven Adam Sandler comedies like Happy Gilmore.
