Unlike his three college friends, Sandler's character has been unsuccessful. A legal settlement provides him with enough money for an apartment, but he can't keep a girlfriend. Someone gets him to take care of a little boy, and he teaches him all sorts of bad habits, which is supposed to be funny. Like using an outdoor wall for a bathroom, or making a rollerblader fall down. But Sandler bonds with the kid so much that when Child Protective Services tries to take him away, he goes to court to adopt him. At first, Sandler's character thought the [[impressionability]] of the boy was humorous, since Sandler could get the kid to mimic all of Sandler's actions. However, by the end of the movie, Sandler's character has realized what it means to have someone look up to you for guidance. The valuable lesson is that parenthood may be fun, but it is also a responsibility.

Unfortunately, the film is marred by scenes of "gay humor", which seems like a demonic bargain Sandler may have struck with Hollywood in return for being allowed to put in the heartwarming family stuff.
