Sets animation back 30 years, musicals back 40 years and Judaism back at least 50.

I'd prefer to think of Sandler in Punch-Drunk Love, the one good movie of the three he did this year.

Squanders the cross-cultural comedy potential of a Jewish-themed Christmas movie on cheap fart gags and boilerplate schmaltz.

Got a lot of holiday spirit, and a lot of laughs.

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.

Ouch. Lame Sandler attempt at holiday humor.

There are sporadic laughs to be had from this gruesome guff, but most of them are nervous relieved titters when its not as bad as you feared rather than bellylaughs of genuine amusement.

Sentimentality and secretions, with a generous helping of blatant product placement, do not make for the most graceful of holiday entertainments.

Adam Sandler's goal may have been to provide a holiday movie with Chanukah as the central celebration, but it's not suitable for children and not entertaining to most adults.

The film might have been funny if it weren't so poorly executed and fixated on bodily functions.

... a story whose cleverness and meaning is sullied among horseplay we can't take the kids to see.

It's about time that all the Christmas movies out there were balanced with a decent Hannukah movie. Sadly, this isn't it.

It'll take you at least double the crummy film's running time to get through the DVD's genuinely cute Dukesberry interactive wonderland.

Only in the world of Adam Sandler could an animated message of inter-faith holiday appreciation be mixed in with a sextet of defecating deer, a woman with three breasts and songs about hatred and drinking.

Small-town goofballs, bizarre musical numbers and plenty of toilet humor -- ah, the holidays are here again.

Audience Reviews for Adam Sandler's Eight Crazy Nights

View All

Adam Sandler's "Eight Crazy Night's" is about as funny as watching a lame television late-night cartoon, it has a dumb story and lines that really are not very funny. The end of the film is the best, when they turn the conclusion into a dance number, but that is not saying much. All this film is, is a bunch of sloppily

Jennifer: Thanks for sharing the Holiday spirit, psycho.�"The Ultimate Battle Between Naughty And Nice."Eight Crazy Nights is another ripoff of the Scrooge/Grinch character, where a guy who hates the holidays and lives to ruin them for others ultimately has a change of heart. This movie is excruciating to watch even
