I don’t ever dismiss a
movie out of hand.
After all, even the
worst movies come from hard work and sweat of dozens of people... And who am
I to dismiss their toiling?
With
that in mind, I have to say Big Daddy sucks.
It has no redeeming
value whatsoever. It isn’t funny. It isn’t heartwarming. It isn’t
anything.
Adam Sandler doesn’t even try to portray a character (which isn’t
beyond his grasp, he was pretty good in The Wedding Singer.)
The story of a lazy degenerate (Sandler) who turns a cute little
five-year-old boy into… well… a five-year-old lazy degenerate, Big Daddy
is poorly-plotted lowest-common-denominator filmmaking.
Don’t bother
with this piece of garbage. (6/99)
