Audiences have at least 80 reasons to reject Eight Crazy Nights.

The film might have been funny if it weren't so poorly executed and fixated on bodily functions.
01/26/06
There are sporadic laughs to be had from this gruesome guff, but most of them are nervous relieved titters when its not as bad as you feared rather than bellylaughs of genuine amusement.

It ain't funny, it ain't good, and it ain't a step in the right direction for co-writer and star Sandler.

it’s got all the warmth and charm of the Bataan Death March

Sandler is at his best as a rage-filled jerk, and at his worst as two of the most irritating characters in all of cartoondom.

An offbeat, sometimes gross and surprisingly appealing animated film about the true meaning of the holidays.

Top CriticDon't waste your money on a movie ticket. Buy the soundtrack album instead.

Here’s to hoping we never have to spend a 9th crazy night with Whitey, Davey, and the whole crappy gang.

The most ill-conceived animated comedy since the 1991 dog Rover Dangerfield.

You get the sense that Sandler & Co. did not try hard enough to imbue Eight Crazy Nights with any real depth.

You've never seen a movie go from awwwww to ewwwww so fast.

It leaves no bodily fluid unexpressed, no heartstring unplucked.
11/29/02
If this holiday movie is supposed to be a gift, somebody unwrapped it early, took out all the good stuff, and left behind the crap (literally).
11/27/02
Adam Sandler's goal may have been to provide a holiday movie with Chanukah as the central celebration, but it's not suitable for children and not entertaining to most adults.
