What a good film! The story begins by Adam Sandler wanting to show his new girlfriend that he is more responsible than what she thinks he is so when the opportunity for him to look after Julian comes up he grabs it.

Anyone that goes to buy a film with Adam Sandler in a starring role has certain expectations of the plot line and level of humour. It is fair to say that every film he stars in contains the same basic mixture of immature characters and jokes intended to keep the audience laughing for as long as possible. The only thing that tends to differ in his films is the setting and scenario's faced by the immature lead character. To be frank this film is no different from all the other adam sandler film's I've seen and laughed at, except for some reason I didn't laugh as much as I did at others.
