Reviews for Adam Sandler's Eight Crazy Nights
Top CriticCertain to be distasteful to children and adults alike, Eight Crazy Nights is a total misfire.
12/08/02
Unlike Trey Parker, Sandler doesn't understand that the idea of exploiting molestation for laughs is funny, not actually exploiting it yourself.
12/06/02
I'd prefer to think of Sandler in Punch-Drunk Love, the one good movie of the three he did this year.
12/05/02
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.
12/05/02
There's more scatological action in 8 Crazy Nights than a proctologist is apt to encounter in an entire career.
12/04/02
An earnest Scrooge story with a heart covered in excrement.
12/03/02
Squanders the cross-cultural comedy potential of a Jewish-themed Christmas movie on cheap fart gags and boilerplate schmaltz.
12/03/02
One would think an animated Sandler would be less repellant than live action -- at least you wouldn't have to actually 'see' him -- but surprise! Even (cheaply) drawn, he's actually more unbearable.
12/03/02
Eight Crazy Nights is a shallow, crude, mean-spirited and painfully unfunny excursion into lunacy...
12/02/02
An excessively gross, dull film ... lacking originality or wit.
12/02/02
Got a lot of holiday spirit, and a lot of laughs.

Top CriticIt 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
Not even Steven Spielberg has dreamed up such blatant and sickening product placement in a movie.
12/02/02
Adam Sandler’s 8 Crazy Nights” is a crass, crude holiday stocking filled with disgustingly inappropriate humor.
12/01/02
Almost as offensive as "Freddy Got Fingered."

When all is said and done, [it] could have afforded another rewrite and a willingness to avoid pandering to the MPAA ratings board.

Sandler is remaining true to his own traditions, although it remains to be seen whether anyone will thank him for that once they've seen the movie.

The Hanukkah spirit seems fried in pork.
