If kids could choose their parents, they all would want 32-year-old Sonny Koufax (Adam Sandler) to be their dad.

Sonny is an infantile jobless law school graduate who always tries to avoid adult responsibilities and wants nothing to do besides loaf around and live on an insurance payout after a car accident. In order to impress his fed up girlfriend Layla Maloney (Joey Lauren Adams) and assert himself, Sonny comes up with a brilliant plan to adopt a 5-year-old Julian 'Frankenstien' McGrath (Cole and Dylan Sprouse). Expect plenty of potty humour, hilarious jokes and jests. |

For New York's most powerful and toughest gangster Paul Vitti (Robert De Niro) killing a man is like having a cup of tea. But the relentless mobster has been having panic attacks recently. He can't sleep at night, feels nervous fairly often and even sheds a tear; every kid evokes tender emotions in him; and killing people is out of the question. He obviously has stress symptoms.
It's so fortunate for him that one day Dr. Ben Sobel's car collides with his car. Realizing he needs professional help, Paul wants the psychiatrist (Billy Crystal) to restore his psychological balance and his lost vitality within two weeks, before a major mobster meeting. Ben surely isn't very enthusiastic about helping him as he himself turns to be a spineless and uncertain man. Who would like to have a mob boss patient who is used to solving problems with a gun and has been tailed by all FBI agents for years? |

A team of research scientists in the off-shore laboratory Aquatica are running experiments on sharks, trying to find a cure for Alzheimer's disease. Unbeknownst to her colleagues, Dr. Susan McAlester (Saffron Burrows), whose father suffered from this fatal illness, breaks ethical codes, genetically re-engineering the DNA of mako sharks to increase the brain size and obtain more cancer-battling enzymes. Unfortunately, the experiment also makes the sharks larger, stronger, more intelligent and aggressive. When financial backer Russell Franklin (Samuel L.Jackson), who is skeptical about the tests, threatens to close down the project, the team performs a demonstration experiment removing brain tissue from the largest shark. The test is successful, but then things go wayward: the shark subject unexpectedly awakes and tears Jim Whitlock's (Stellan Skarsgеrd) arm off. The scientists call a rescue helicopter but it crashes into the station during a tropical storm. The newly smart killer-sharks decide to make the most of the situation and sink the station in order to escape into the sea.
