The only real achievement that a movie as puerile and moronic as Adam Sandler’s Eight Crazy Nights can claim is that it risks giving both Christmas movies and animation a bad name.

Reviews for Adam Sandler's Eight Crazy Nights
Top CriticSandler is at his best as a rage-filled jerk, and at his worst as two of the most irritating characters in all of cartoondom.
12/05/02
An offbeat, sometimes gross and surprisingly appealing animated film about the true meaning of the holidays.
11/27/02
Nothing but side-splitting, richly coloured, instant classic laughs -- all with the typical Sandler touch.
12/23/02
If you're burnt out on It's a Wonderful Life marathons and bored with A Christmas Carol, it might just be the movie you're looking for. It depends on how well flatulence gags fit into your holiday concept.
11/26/02
The most stirring holiday film since Prancer, and the best animated musical since South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut.
11/27/02
On the whole, this lively, bittersweet Columbia release works well and is sure to connect strongly with fans of Sandler at his most free-wheeling and uninhibited.
11/27/02
Top CriticA little gem of animated lunacy that shows the comedian getting back to his roots.
11/27/02
Eight Crazy Nights is a showcase for Sandler's many talents.
11/27/02
Only in the world of Adam Sandler could an animated message of inter-faith holiday appreciation be mixed in with a sextet of defecating deer, a woman with three breasts and songs about hatred and drinking.
06/26/03
One of the oddest animated holiday films you'll ever see, 8 Crazy Nights is also probably the funniest.
11/27/02
Got a lot of holiday spirit, and a lot of laughs.
12/02/02
Top CriticAdam Sandler’s 8 Crazy Nights” is a crass, crude holiday stocking filled with disgustingly inappropriate humor.
12/01/02
Priceless.
11/27/02
Audiences have at least 80 reasons to reject Eight Crazy Nights.
12/27/02
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.
06/02/08
For the non-Sandler faithful, the potty humor is execrable.
11/27/02
The film might have been funny if it weren't so poorly executed and fixated on bodily functions.
01/26/06
It ain't funny, it ain't good, and it ain't a step in the right direction for co-writer and star Sandler.
12/02/02
it’s got all the warmth and charm of the Bataan Death March
