When Sonny's roommate Kevin leaves for China, a boy is dropped at their place and is told that he is Kevin's son but Kevin doesn't know his mother. Sonny takes care of him, and after spending sometime with him decides to adopt hoping that maybe his girlfriend will be impressed.

- Critics' reviews
-
-
"Big Daddy is easily the laziest, most slapdash and altogether crummy picture Sandler's done to date"
-
"The actors bring an appealing energy to their simplistic roles, enough so to wring laughs from the most Sandler-resistant audience members."
-
"Sandler has remarkably little funny to do or say in Big Daddy"
-
"The film offers its share of big laughs, but the serious side is sunk by mawkishness and sentimentality."
