I could never figure out why this crude, asinine film was made in the first place.

Reviews for Adam Sandler's Eight Crazy Nights
Schmaltzy and unfunny, Adam Sandler's cartoon about Hanukkah is numbingly bad, Little Nicky bad, 10 Worst List bad.

Priceless.

Top CriticMay puzzle his most ardent fans.

Top CriticAdam 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 CriticAn offbeat, sometimes gross and surprisingly appealing animated film about the true meaning of the holidays.
11/27/02
All this is rendered with pedestrian animation, deadly dialogue, and a general air of indifference, as if the whole thing was the result of a late-night bet, or a joke gone horribly wrong.
11/27/02
Beyond the standard Christmas Carol plot of a bad guy seeing the error of his ways, the rest of the story is quite lame and uninspired.
11/27/02
You've never seen a movie go from awwwww to ewwwww so fast.

Adam Sandler's Eight Crazy Nights grows on you -- like a rash.
11/27/02
One lousy movie.
11/27/02
Sets animation back 30 years, musicals back 40 years and Judaism back at least 50.
11/27/02
Animated drivel meant to enhance the self-image of drooling idiots.
11/27/02
There are a handful of genuinely comical moments in Eight Crazy Nights, but the whole thing reeks of a super-indulgent, cobbled-together vanity trip by a star whose ego obviously leads him to believe he can put anything on screen.
11/27/02
There are a few clever moments in Eight Crazy Nights, but they come after long stretches of repetitive, juvenile gags that can be found in most of Sandler's other films.
11/27/02
Eight Crazy Nights is a showcase for Sandler's many talents.
11/27/02
You get the sense that Sandler & Co. did not try hard enough to imbue Eight Crazy Nights with any real depth.
11/27/02
If the traditional two-dimensional, cel-painted format of animation really is dying, it's because of films like Adam Sandler's Eight Crazy Nights.
