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.

All Critics (121) | Top Critics (33) | Fresh (25) | Rotten (91) | DVD (23)
Has an enormous cast of stars, including Harvey Keitel as daddy devil. But even the stars couldn't brighten up this flick.
Top CriticIt would be hyperbole to argue that the road to movie hell is entirely paved with Adam Sandler's crude intentions -- but the guy sure has made a heck of a start.
Where's Sandler in all this? Lost in gimmicks that smack of desperation.
It never quite lights a fire under its subject matter.
A mind-boggling mess.
I can see how Little Nicky could have worked, It's just that Sandler, at the center, is a distraction.
This is no Wedding Singer.
Maybe Adam Sandler really has some familial connections with the Devil.
Pretty hellish.
A 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.
I 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...
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.
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.
