this is my favorite movie!!! its so funny. however it's pretty mature. there are scenes where people drinking beer is involved. there is strong lanuage that younger kids could pick up on. although there is no nudity or sex scenes there is a scene where there are several references to sex. it invovles relationships and things of that sort. but altogether it is a hilarious, mature, yet mildish. its a fun movie for kids 11+ and parents.

About Big Daddy
Parents need to know that there are a number of sexual references -- some quite vivid -- and a range of the usual PG-13 naughty words and potty humor.

Great Ending
Most parents won't like this movie because of the constant language. But what ever you do don't stop watching it. The movie starts out rough, but the ending is great. Please trust me. There are some strong sexual refrences so if your child is under 13 I would not let them watch this. But 13 and up is okay.

This is not a kids' movie
Somehow people think Adam Sandler makes kids' movies. He doesn't - they just happen to have kids in them sometimes. Sadly, that may draw families to this movie when it is very inappropriate for the under 13 crowd. The language, sexual innuendo and use of violence to solve problems was way more intense than you'd expect from a movie featuring a 5-year-old character. There were good messages about responsibility and what it takes to be a "real" parent. However, the view of social services, fostering, birth parents and adoption was problematic. These are deep topics and need to be discussed with anyone who watches the movie. Would Julian really have been dropped at the doorstep? Would there have been no follow-up from social services? Would Sandler have been threatened with arrest? Would a child that young have been made to testify in open court? No. Sandler always has a appealing persona that overcomes the gutter-talk and humor. I wish he'd do something that made the most of his appeal in a cleaner or more serious way.

Not as bad as Waterboy or Billy Madison, but still really bad
I'm sorry, but this movie was not really good. Sandler is probably one of the only A movie actor to only have one three star movie and the majority of the rest one star (not according to CSM). If you see adam Sandler in a movie, avoid it.

The Best Adam Sandler Movie
This is a very good movie. It has a lot of comedy, but it also has a meaningful side. Adam Sandler portrays a slob who gets a kid. Overall the movie was unbelievably good.
