Adam Sandler Film example essay topic

Big Daddy is a story about a hopeless bachelor named Sonny Koufax, played by Sandler, who adopts a child in order to win over his girlfriend. As you may expect, a loser bachelor with no job being responsible for a child might lead to some pretty funny situations. Let me start off by saying that I like this movie, but it does have alot of shortcomings that may hinder your viewing experience. First off, though you may think that the plot seems reasonable, it is really just an excuse to show a father feeding his son ketchup and let him do whatever he wants. But then again, the plot never really is important in a comedy anyway. Not to say that it is a bad plot, because it keeps you interested enough in between jokes, I just find it to be a bit contrived. The plot really isn't anything special, it is really quite average actually. It isn't horrible, but not significantly good either. As far as the comedy goes, it proves to be pretty good. Though this isn't the kind of film that will have you rolling on the floor laughing until you pull a muscle, you will get a few good laughs and alot of chuckles.
On the whole though, the movie is pretty funny, and when you get done watching it, you will be satisfied. Though the more you see it, the more of an empty feeling the picture gives you. It really doesn't have too much replay value, unless you are a Sandler die hard like me, so it probably isn't too great of an addition to a movie collection. That being said, it is more than worth a rental.
There is definitly enough material to keep you entertained for a single viewing. Though I like this move, not everyone will like it. If you are an Adam Sandler fan, you probably will love it, or you already do love it. If you aren't an Adam Sandler film, you might find this film not to your likings. Infact, if you aren't an Adam Sandler fan, take one point off the review score.
As a film on it's own merits it really is an average picture, but I find that Adam Sandler adds to the film, and Jon Stewart did a good job in it too as his roommate. So if you could care less about Sandler, then we are looking at an average picture here. But I would still recommend that you watch this film. Give it a try, maybe you will like it, maybe you won't, but either way, it will still keep you entertained for an hour and a half.
