Big Daddy
First screened in March 2020
Director: Dennis Dugan. Cast: Adam Sandler, Cole Sprouse, Dylan Sprouse, Joey Lauren Adams, Jon Stewart, Leslie Mann, Rob Schneider, Kristy Swanson, Allen Covert, Peter Dante, Josh Mostel, Joseph Bologna, Jonathan Loughran, Steve Buscemi. Screenplay: Steve Franks, Tim Herlihy, and Adam Sandler.

Twitter Capsule: Surprising refusal of outright farce or manchild antics. Energy low, plot desultory in ways that are almost interesting.

VOR:   For better and worse, I expected more of a clanging assault. Viewers will split about this sweet movie's charms, but who will call it risky or original?
