Big Daddy

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.
