This movie didn't make me laugh once. As for Adam Sandler....he wasn't funny on SNL and he sure as hell isn't funny in movies. He should really try and get a new skit - one that doesn't have him talking in that annoying whining ugly voice. Man, I hate him.

A nice feel good/comedy movie with Adam Sandler.
This is not the greatest movie ever made but is by no means the worst.
As with most Adam Sandler projects this is the sort of film you really need to just disconnect your brain and enjoy some silliness.

Someone, please stop Adam Sandler before somebody gets hurt. This is just more Sandler stupidity with a 30 minute idea stretched into 90 minutes of setups for 3 minutes of actual gags and 10 seconds of laughter. Maybe I will just spend 10 seconds reading another review and get the same benefit.

I'm not afraid to say it: I'm a Sandler fanboy. I've been once since Happy Gilmore and I'll be one until he does direct-to-video chopsocky flicks at the age of 65. This, however, is probably his worst film. It's his most pat, cloying, cutesy film, not to mention his most obvious one. Sandler plays another Sandler-slacker who somehow manages to get custody of a kid and decides to adopt him to impress the girl he's wooing. Cue many scenes of Sandler reacting the wrong way to things that the kid does... many scenes. It's not so much that there are many of these... it's that they're not necessarily funny. They're just obvious and labored, which is something that is rarely found in Sandler movies. Even his worst films have moments that are so terribly absurd that they redeem the fact that the film is so predictable. None of that here, unfortunately. The film has its moments, but most of it is on comedy autopilot.

i hadn't planned on seeing this, yet somehow i did .. and was pleasantly surprised. often times hilarious, and at least somewhat humorous at other times, the only time the film loses speed is when it tries to get either cute or sappy. line this up alongside "happy gilmore" in the adam sandler collection ..

Slurpy silly story of a man who adopts a child in hopes of gaining a fiancee. The fiancee rejects him and he is left with blessed fatherhood in all its glory. Problem is, he really gets to love the boy and finds a much better woman along the way. Too much slapstick and slush for me. And poor parental modeling (even if I could muster up a sense of humor). But Sadler, when he isn't being overly cute can sometimes be downright charming.

Watching this pityful movie, almost had be bored to some top quality H2O tears.. I thought the humour quite pathetic- crude (The child urinating on the wall was only effective once) or at someone else's misfortune (but you'll still find yourself laughing at one unfortunate rollerblader). From beneath the breasts of countless women, I felt the child showed little acting ability, perhaps this is due to the lack of lines.. And Adam Sandler failed as a Comic Actor. This movie left me feeling UnHappy-Anymore.
