“Big Daddy” is another one of those dull screwball comedies from the regulars of “Saturday Night Live”.

Adam Sandler (“Happy Gilmore”, “Billy Madison”) stars as a violent and vulgar man named Sonny, who illegally gets custody of a young boy named Julian in order to impress a girl. Sonny proves to be one of the world’s worst parents as we see him swear constantly in front of Julian and simply put newspaper over where the child has been sick. After his girlfriend isn’t impressed Sonny tries his hardest to get a new girl in his life but then social services take Julian away (thank God for that) and now Sonny must try to win custody in a trial.

I think Sonny is a weak character played poorly by Adam Sandler. The film tries to have a few heart-warming moments but Sandler isn’t good enough as an actor to do that. What’s really sad is that out of all the crew of “SNL” during the 90s (Will Ferrell, David Spade etc…) I think Sandler is probably the one I dislike the least. The young boy is really boring. The relationship between Sonny and Julian is awful as what other film do we see a man run in front of a car and get hit in order to cheer up a child. Rob Schneider (“Judge Dredd”) has little more than a cameo and what’s a real shame is that despite being bad it’s probably his best performance ever.

I won’t lie as I’ll admit I couldn’t help but laugh at the scene where a roller-skater is tripped over and the scene at Halloween had me in hysterics. Apart from those instances I didn’t find the film funny. It has urinating jokes, homosexual jokes, breast jokes and McDonald’s jokes but none of them are decent. “Big Daddy” is disgraceful at times.
