Short description
A lazy law school grad adopts a kid to impress his girlfriend, but everything doesn't go as planned and he becomes the unlikely foster father.
What's left behind the scenes
- The figure known as "Scuba Steve" in the film was conceived and made by Adam Sandler. It was based on a toy figure he had as a child, called "Deep Sea Dan." "Deep Sea Dan" makes a brief appearance at the beginning of director Dennis Dugan’s other film, *Problem Child* (1990).
- During filming, Julian Cole Sprouse and Dylan Sprouse lost their baby teeth, which had to be replaced with prosthetics. Dylan Sprouse lost a tooth right in the middle of filming one of the takes. Adam Sandler's character says to Julian near the end of the film: “Hey, are you still walking around without a tooth?”
- While filming was underway, Frank Coraci's "Bedtime Stories" (1998) became a box office success, and Sony informed the film crew and actors that the film's budget had been increased, allowing them to expand already-shot scenes or shoot new ones. This allowed for the expansion of supporting roles played by Rob Schneider and Steve Buscemi.
- Adam Sandler’s wife played the waitress in the bar. This began Sandler’s tradition of casting her in a cameo role in every film in which he stars.
- The figure called 'Diver Steve' in the movie was conceived and created by Adam Sandler. It was based on a toy figure the actor had as a child called 'Dan the Diver.' 'Dan the Diver' appears briefly at the beginning of another film by director Dennis Dugan, 'Baby's Day Out' (1990).
- While filming, Cole Sprouse and Dylan Sprouse, who played Julian and Dylan, lost their baby teeth, so they had to be replaced with props. Dylan Sprouse's tooth fell out right during one of the takes. Toward the end of the film, Adam Sandler's character says to Julian, 'Hey, are you still walking around without a tooth?'
- While this film was in production, Frank Coraci's 'The Wedding Singer' (1998) became a box office success, and Sony notified the crew and cast that the budget had been increased, allowing them to expand existing scenes or film new ones. As a result, the supporting roles played by Rob Schneider and Steve Buscemi were expanded.
- The waitress in the bar was played by Adam Sandler's wife. This started Sandler's tradition of casting her in a cameo role in every movie he stars in.
