On the whole, your typical Adam Sandler vehicle; this time his persona is put to use as an unlikely foster parent, completely out of his depth and still trying to slack his way through it. Naturally, he bonds with the kid, and I gotta be honest, that little guy really started to warm me over too. All of this begins to barrel towards something heartfelt and a satisfying finish seems certain . . .And then the swindle really happens where nobody ends up where they should yet it's a happy ending for all. It shatters what goodwill has been generated thus far, and it's a genuine disservice to the movie's potential. It's a cheat and a major letdown.

I like the bit where they did a wee on the door. Nobody does comedy like Adam Sandler

This was the first Adam Sandler movie I saw. I must say that I was impressed. Sandler plays Sonny who is just a cheap, low-life guy who works at a tollbooth and he has family issues. Then one day, a 5-year-old kid was dumped on his doorstep. He decides to take care of the kid even when there is legal trouble involving him and the kid. I thought that Dennis Dugan did a good job as directing. The chemistry between the actors was OK, but it works. There were fine performances by the Sprouse twins, Rob Schneider, and Jon Stewart. I also liked the music of this film. I enjoyed listening to the two versions of "Sweet Child O' Mine" by Sheryl Crow and Guns'N'Roses. Last of all, the film was pretty funny. This is a nice fit for your movie collection! I rate this movie a 8/10.
