If there was ever a movie where the upbeat ending feels like a copout, this is the one.

Reviews for Adam Sandler's Eight Crazy Nights
Top CriticGoes on and on to the point of nausea.
11/27/02
A little gem of animated lunacy that shows the comedian getting back to his roots.
11/27/02
One of the oddest animated holiday films you'll ever see, 8 Crazy Nights is also probably the funniest.
11/27/02
There are good movies and there are bad movies. And then there are movies that make us tired.
11/27/02
The innocence of holiday cheer ain't what it used to be.
11/27/02
The cartoon is about as true to the spirit of the Festival of Lights as Mr. Deeds was to that of Frank Capra.
11/27/02
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
The most stirring holiday film since Prancer, and the best animated musical since South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut.
11/27/02
Nights is festooned with yards of gross-out jokes, sniggering allusions and, astonishingly, a sentimental climax that's more repellent than any of the crude effluvia the film is drenched with.

Top CriticDon't waste your money on a movie ticket. Buy the soundtrack album instead.
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 CriticThe only time 8 Crazy Nights comes close to hitting a comedic or satirical target is during the offbeat musical numbers.
11/27/02
There is something poignant about being 'the only kid in town without a Christmas tree.' Too bad you have to dig through so much stinky stuff to get to it.
11/27/02
The most ill-conceived animated comedy since the 1991 dog Rover Dangerfield.
11/27/02
For the non-Sandler faithful, the potty humor is execrable.
11/27/02
Stale first act, Scrooge story, blatant product placement, some very good comedic songs, strong finish, dumb fart jokes.
11/26/02
An unfortunate return to form for Adam Sandler
11/26/02
Adam Sandler's heart may be in the right place, but he needs to pull his head out of his butt
11/26/02
An unholy union between saccharine holiday sentiment, gross-out comedy, and fourth-rate animation.
