Synopsis: Adam Sandler and director Seth Kearsley present an animated Hanukkah tale with ADAM SANDLER'S EIGHT CRAZY NIGHTS. Davey Stone (Sandler) is lurching down a wayward path. He's a drunk and aging... Adam Sandler and director Seth Kearsley present an animated Hanukkah tale with ADAM SANDLER'S EIGHT CRAZY NIGHTS. Davey Stone (Sandler) is lurching down a wayward path. He's a drunk and aging delinquent, infamous in Dukesberry for spreading misery as deftly as he belches full sentences. He's facing prison when Whitey Duvall (Sandler again), a lovable, physically challenged man, proposes that Stone work with him at the community center as a referee for the local basketball league. The surly Stone accepts the job, and moves in with Whitey and his twin sister, Eleanore (also voiced by Sandler). But the true test is whether Stone can rise above his self-destructive habits in order to reunite with his former girlfriend, Jennifer (Jackie Titone), and act as a role model for her young son, Benjamin (Austin Stout). The snow-covered landscapes in EIGHT CRAZY NIGHTS have a pleasing, three-dimensional realism that's as cheerful as a Hallmark holiday card. Sandler, with his wide range of inane, high-pitched voices, is as funny as ever, punctuating the innocent world of EIGHT CRAZY NIGHTS with the refreshingly irreverent brand of humor he displayed in HAPPY GILMORE, THE WEDDING SINGER, and BIG DADDY. Though the film isn't really for kids, Sandler and Kearsley manage to make even the more daring animated characters--like one with three breasts--seem harmless. EIGHT CRAZY NIGHTS also features the voices of Jon Lovitz, Kevin Nealon, Rob Schneider, and Tyra Banks. [More]

Quite the worst animated movie of the year...

Certain to be distasteful to children and adults alike, Eight Crazy Nights is a total misfire.

Unlike Trey Parker, Sandler doesn't understand that the idea of exploiting molestation for laughs is funny, not actually exploiting it yourself.

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

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.

There's more scatological action in 8 Crazy Nights than a proctologist is apt to encounter in an entire career.

An earnest Scrooge story with a heart covered in excrement.

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

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.

Eight Crazy Nights is a shallow, crude, mean-spirited and painfully unfunny excursion into lunacy...

An excessively gross, dull film ... lacking originality or wit.

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

It ain't funny, it ain't good, and it ain't a step in the right direction for co-writer and star Sandler.

Not even Steven Spielberg has dreamed up such blatant and sickening product placement in a movie.

Adam Sandler’s 8 Crazy Nights” is a crass, crude holiday stocking filled with disgustingly inappropriate humor.

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.
