Average Rating: 3.9/10

Consensus: Despite the presence of a large, talented cast, the jokes in Little Nicky are dumb, tasteless, and not that funny, and Adam Sandler's character is grating to watch.

Runtime: 90 mins

Genre: Comedies

Theatrical Release: Nov 10, 2000 Wide

Box Office: $38,542,597

Continuing in the tradition of his hits THE WATERBOY and HAPPY GILMORE, Adam Sandler stars in LITTLE NICKY, a supernatural comedy about Satan's geekiest son. Nicky (Sandler) is relieved when his father (Harvey Keitel) decides to continue as ruler of the underworld for another 10,000 years instead of picking one of his bullying brothers, Adrian (Rhys Ifans) or Cassius (Tom "Tiny" Lister), to reign. Adrian and Cassius, hungry for power, decide to travel to New York City in order to spread Hell on Earth. Only Nicky can stop them and save his father--and the world--from his brothers' evil schemes. But Nicky has no idea what to expect from New York City, and he has to deal with new activities such as eating, sleeping, and meeting a new girlfriend, Valerie (Patricia Arquette). His friends Mr. Beefy, a talking bulldog, and John and Peter, a pair of hardcore heavy metal fans, try to help Nicky stand up for himself and eventually save the universe. LITTLE NICKY features a cast of regulars from other Adam Sandler movies, plus a hilariously bizarre sense of humor that allows all sorts of odd and twisted things to happen. [More]

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

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.

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.

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.

Simply not that funny... a film that feels forced in its formula and naked in its construction.

Farfetched as it seems, Little Nicky emerges as a comic tribute to filial loyality.

Has an enormous cast of stars, including Harvey Keitel as daddy devil. But even the stars couldn't brighten up this flick.

jokes about genitalia, as well as jabs at gays and the handicapped, and two scenes in which someone gets an object shoved into his posterior. ...Congratulations, MPAA: You're doing one helluva job of protecting our kids from unsavory material.
