Variety

While the loyal male-teen aud core will not be disappointed with the spate of gags just for them, story contains solid date-movie material. Full Review

The Onion (A.V. Club)

Sandler's best movie, a surprisingly touching and consistent comedy that finds him reaching out to new audiences without abandoning the transgressive meanness that has enlivened his best work. Full Review

In my opinion this is one of Adam Sandler's best perfomances..he adds his classic comedic input but also in this role you really see a deeper side of him. His fatherly relationship with the boy is so funny and heartwarming. The ending brings tears... Read and rate it

If you're looking for the best Adam Sandler flick, this one is definitely at the top of the list. Any movie that retains its humor so many years after its release is a keeper in my book. The film certainly is not as silly as something like Sandler's... Read and rate it
