Adam Sandler's 1999 film 'Big Daddy' is celebrating its 25th anniversary. The comedy hit, directed by Dennis Dugan and written by Steve Franks, became Sandler's highest-grossing film domestically until 'Hotel Transylvania 2' in 2015. It opened with a strong weekend, earning $41 million, and went on to gross $234 million globally. The film follows Sonny Koufax, played by Sandler, an unmotivated law school graduate who adopts a 5-year-old boy named Julian, portrayed by Cole and Dylan Sprouse. The main challenge of making the film was working with child actors, and the Sprouse twins were eventually cast as Julian. Sandler had great chemistry with the twins and was described as a family man. While 'Big Daddy' received mixed reviews from critics, Sandler's performance was highly regarded. Despite the film's success, there have been no talks of a sequel, but the team has expressed interest in revisiting the film in the future. [fb9b490e]
