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 CriticNot even Steven Spielberg has dreamed up such blatant and sickening product placement in a movie.
12/02/02
Animated drivel meant to enhance the self-image of drooling idiots.
11/27/02
Stale first act, Scrooge story, blatant product placement, some very good comedic songs, strong finish, dumb fart jokes.
11/26/02
The innocence of holiday cheer ain't what it used to be.
11/27/02
Adam Sandler's Eight Crazy Nights grows on you -- like a rash.
11/27/02
Certain to be distasteful to children and adults alike, Eight Crazy Nights is a total misfire.
12/08/02
The only time 8 Crazy Nights comes close to hitting a comedic or satirical target is during the offbeat musical numbers.
11/27/02
A sub-formulaic slap in the face to seasonal cheer.
11/28/02
Goes on and on to the point of nausea.
11/27/02
Who is this movie for? Not kids, who don't need the lesson in repugnance. It's also not smart or barbed enough for older viewers -- not everyone thinks poo-poo jokes are 'edgy.'
11/26/02
A little gem of animated lunacy that shows the comedian getting back to his roots.
11/27/02
it’s got all the warmth and charm of the Bataan Death March
04/05/03
Adam Sandler's 8 Crazy Nights is 75 wasted minutes of Sandler as the voice-over hero in Columbia Pictures' perverse idea of an animated holiday movie.
11/27/02
Top CriticAdam Sandler's heart may be in the right place, but he needs to pull his head out of his butt
11/26/02
The songs are rather forgettable and sometimes downright painful.
11/07/02
It's about time that all the Christmas movies out there were balanced with a decent Hannukah movie. Sadly, this isn't it.
11/30/03
Top CriticAn offbeat, sometimes gross and surprisingly appealing animated film about the true meaning of the holidays.
11/27/02
... a story whose cleverness and meaning is sullied among horseplay we can't take the kids to see.
09/20/04
Almost as offensive as "Freddy Got Fingered."
