Davey Stone, a 33-year-old party animal, finds himself in trouble with the law after his wild ways go too far. In keeping with the holiday spirit, the judge gives Davey one last chance at redemption, spend the holiday performing community service as the assistant referee for the youth basketball league or go to jail. Davey thinks he's gotten off easy until he meets Whitey Duvall, the eccentric, elf-like head referee.

Critics Consensus

Sandler returns to his roots in this nauseating concoction filled with potty humor and product placements.

There aren't enough creative Yiddish insults in the world to adequately express how much I hate Adam Sandler's "Eight Crazy Nights."

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

The corporate pimping is actually far more offensive than the scatological humor.

The juvenile nastiness can be pretty darn funny when it clicks, but the fact that you actually feel for any of these characters is a testament to the attempt to tell a meaningful story.

While Eight Crazy Nights might not quite be the "nauseating concoction" that Rotten Tomatoes describes it to be, admittedly the film is rather poor overall.

Underrated animated film. The poop jokes are disgusting, but apart from that its actually a really good film.

One of my favorite holiday movies of all times. For a movie so set around commonly it can really tug at your heart. The music is very catchy and fun to sing along with. You'll be pointing out technical fouls for years to come after this movie.

To everyone who over analyzed an absolute Adam Sandler classic, I hope you all get coal in your stockings. You bums.

Always loved this movie, even as a kid. Always watched it during the holiday season. I recommend this for anyone who loves Adam Sandler and loves Christmas movies. Albeit it is more of a Hannukah movie than anything, it can still be watched during Christmas.

Criminally underrated, classic one of a kind movie with a lot of heart, sure its maybe dumb and crude but that doesn't mean it isn't great! Might be Adam Sandler at his funniest
