Big Daddy
Rotten Tomatoes Rating: 40%
Choice Review Excerpt: "There's no doubt Sandler is talented, but if he persists in believing that, like Elvis, his presence alone covers a multitude of omissions and inconsistencies, he will squander his gift and make a series of forgettable films in the process." - LA Times

Newsies
Rotten Tomatoes Rating: 40%
Choice Review Excerpt: "Newsies is a live-action musical, but it's only barely alive. Call it Snoozies." - Baltimore Sun
Tommy Boy
Rotten Tomatoes Rating: 45%
Choice Review Excerpt: “The movie is an assembly of clichés and obligatory scenes from dozens of other movies, all are better. It has only one original idea, and that's a bad one: The inspiration of making the hero's sidekick into, simultaneously, his buddy, his critic and his rival... It's like the part was written by three writers locked in separate rooms. - Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
