Twenty years after playing father and son, Adam Sandler and Cole Sprouse have reunited.
When he was just 6 years old, Sprouse played Sandler's adopted son in "Big Daddy," a role which he shared with his twin brother Dylan.

Played by Julia Fox in the film, Ratner's mistress was originally called Sadie.
