Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAdam Sandler's wife, Jackie Sandler, played the waitress in the bar that gets Julian (Cole and Dylan Sprouse) a root beer. This started the tradition of having her cameo in almost every Adam Sandler film.
- GoofsAt the end of the trial, Corinne's shocked reaction upon learning that Julian belongs to her boyfriend (Jon/Stewart/Kevin Gerrity) makes no sense. Throughout the trial, the judge makes reference to Julian as "Julian McGrath, aka Julian Gerrity" and several statements were made regarding "Sonny Koufax impersonating Kevin Gerrity" so there is no way that Corinne wouldn't have put the pieces together to realize what the situation was.
- Crazy creditsThis movie is dedicated to our fathers. Thanks for putting up with all our crap. We love you.
- Alternate versionsWhen aired on TV, some scenes were altered, like:
- When Sonny finds out McDonalds stopped serving breakfast at 10:30, his scream of "horseshit!" was changed to "Noooo!";
- The word 'ass' was changed to 'butt'; the word 'shit' was altered or worked around;
- The names of Sonny's snacks when he's watching hockey were blurred out; Sonny's line of "the money I got in the cab accident is kicking ass in the stock market" was altered.

Featured review
I am not a Sandler fan in the least, in fact for the most part I do not enjoy his movies. Still, this one was a rather funny little comedy even if it did have a rather unbelievable premise. Guy loses girl, guy tries to get girl back by taking in a kid who may or may not be a friend of his kid. So aside from that you have your funny scenes of Adam trying to raise a small boy to the best of his ability while also getting the attention of a new female in his life. Granted some of the jokes were just lame such as Sandler dressing up as the boy's favorite toy, but for the most part the jokes were hits. It did tend to get a bit sentimental towards the end, but not as bad as other movies of this type tend to get. Jon Stewart is in this one as is Sandler buddies Rob Snider. Steve Bushemi is also in it, but his appearance in the movie is rather stupid. So for a rather good comedy that isn't really great, but not unbearable like many Sandler comedies can get try this one on for size.
