One Of Adam Sandler's Best Comedies Is Now On Netflix & I'm Shocked By Its 39% RT Score

Summary One of the best Adam Sandler comedies ever made is now on Netflix despite its negative Rotten Tomatoes score. Sandler, who has gotten more into dramatic roles in recent years with his leading performances in films such as Uncut Gems , Hustle , and Spaceman , is still celebrated for his timeless comedy classics such as Happy Gilmore , The Waterboy , and Billy Madison .

Big Daddy features Jon Stewart in a supporting actor role as well as Joey Lauren Adams of Dazed and Confused and Chasing Amy acclaim. It also has Leslie Mann, Rob Schneider, and both Dylan and Cole Sprouse making their feature film debuts. Both Sprouse twins played the same role of Julian 'Frankenstein' McGrath, the adorable yet trouble-loving kid that Sandler's Sonny takes up for adoption.

Although Big Daddy was a box office hit that was beloved by millions, earning a 74% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, the film was torn apart by critics. David Ansen of Newsweek wrote in his review of Big Daddy, "Amiable, schizoid and disposable, Big Daddy is just as formulaic as you might imagine." Legendary film critic Roger Ebert said of the film, "Big Daddy should be reported to the child welfare office.

Why Big Daddy Is Better Than Its Reviews Suggest The film is a great combo of heart and humor Big Daddy is really successful as a classic feel-good movie that still has plenty of raunchy humor while being wholesome throughout. Back in 1999, it would have been a great date night movie, which judging by its box office numbers, it was, and it combined both the sweet and sour sides of Sandler's acting talents in an imperfect but entertaining way.
