Pretty hellish.

Top CriticA pleasantly sloppy party that doesn't go on too long.

If you can take Sandler for more than five minutes, this is his funniest film to date.

Top CriticI don't know why, but I just wasn't laughing that much.

No, it's not a masterpiece, nor is it meant to be. For those of us greatly amused by the little rascal, this is a definite four-star movie.

...diverting enough to warrant a recommendation...
08/01/03
The wait for funny scenes feels like an eternity spent in hell.

Sandler delivers a performance that would cause yawns in a Montessori.

This film is pretty much stupid from start to finish, although there are occasions when one is unable to stifle an embarrassed chuckle.

The road to hell is paved with ... bathroom humor.
11/07/02
Nothing in this ambitious, effects-laden spectacle about family values in hell made me laugh. Not once.

This is one of Sandler's lesser films, but fans will dig it nonetheless. I did.

Plays like a series of sketches performed by a revolving cast of guest stars, a Carol Burnett Show of the damned.

Farfetched as it seems, Little Nicky emerges as a comic tribute to filial loyality.
08/02/02
Has an enormous cast of stars, including Harvey Keitel as daddy devil. But even the stars couldn't brighten up this flick.
