Come celebrate the joy and togetherness of the Hanukkah season with Adam Sandler -- yeah, that Adam Sandler -- in this raucous animated comedy written and produced in collaboration with the noted funn... read more read more...yman. Davey Stone (voice of Adam Sandler) is a twentysomething man with a short temper and a reputation for causing trouble who lives in the small New England town of Dukesberry. Davey has a particularly bad attitude about the holiday season, and on the first night of Hanukkah, he goes on a tear that lands him in front of a judge (voice of Norm Crosby). The judge, who has dealt with Davey before, is prepared to send him to prison, but Whitey (also voiced by Sandler), an eccentric but kindly old man, persuades the judge to give him a chance to turn Davey into a more responsible citizen. Davey doesn't think much of Whitey's charitable nature, but when his trailer home burns down, he's forced to move in with Whitey and his perpetually nervous sister, Eleanore (also voiced by Sandler...spotting a trend here?). Between Whitey and Eleanore's nonstop kvetching and the reappearance of his old girlfriend Jennifer (voice of Jackie Titone), Davey is being driven to distraction by the Hanukkah season, but in time Whitey learns the truth about why Davey has such a problem with the Festival of Lights. Adam Sandler's Eight Crazy Nights also includes eight new songs co-written by Sandler; he duets with bluegrass star Alison Krauss on "Long Ago." ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

    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. ... read moreAll this film is, is a bunch of sloppily put together scenes to make it's audience feel good about themselves once the characters accomplish their goals, but if I'm being honest, I found it hard to comply with these characters, due to the fact that I didn't know which side of them to look at. "Eight Crazy Night's" is stupid, unfunny, and has a terrible premise, but in the end, I can say that the voice acting was pretty good, and I had a bit of fun.

    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.... read more This movie is excruciating to watch even though it clocks in at a measly 75 minutes. By the end, you'll be glad that it was no longer. To say everything that is bad about the movie in one little review would be hard, so I'll just hit the big ones. 

    Adam Sandler does his routine animation style in this one. He wastes no time in getting to the fart and crap jokes, and they just keep on flying at us throughout. He also voices three characters, one being in his normal voice and the other two being a brother-sister combo that he uses the most annoying voices ever for. I'm guessing that he thinks it is funny to just sound as annoying as possible. Well I for one wasn't laughing. In fact, I don't think I laughed once throughout this whole piece of shit.

    Then there are the lame songs. Horribly written and horribly performed, the Christmas duds are sure to give you a case of nausea. Then at times he adds, the annoying voices into the songs and holy shit... you just want to die. I'd take just about any Christmas film over this one, aside from those crappy Hallmark, Lifetime, ABC Family films that are shown every year.

    The worst thing about this movie just might be that it was made the same year that Sandler did Punch Drunk Love. So when he got done with his one great movie, he turned around and probably did his worst(aside from Going Overboard,  but no one has seen that, so it doesn't matter). Do yourself a favor and re-watch other Holiday films and don't give this a chance. Sandler fan or not, this is unwatchable.

    It's great to see a holiday film that represents Hanukkah. It's a shame that it had to be a charmless, disgusting, vulgar film such as this. I have no problem with immature toilet humour, but when it's used as the anchor of a film, then there are serious problems. I appreciate Sa... read morendler attempting to push the boundaries, but this film is very much a kids film, with swearwords and inappropriate jokes. There's something about a film trying to be cute and crass at the same time that is very unappealing. For instance, the laugh riot scene where an old man has a seizure, or perhaps the part where a herd of deer just defecate everywhere. The songs are very poor and I'm sure the jokes have all been used in Sandler's live action stuff. It's also very annoying to hear Sandler do more than one voice, as each voice is just a higher or lower version of his own. It's a weird film, but not one that can be recommended.

    They gave Adam Sandler the license to make this boring comedy, which reminded me of a "King of the Hill" stretched to movie length. It might be the first animated comedy without any fantasy elements.

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

Ed Halter

Ed Halter, Village Voice

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

Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper

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

Peter Howell, Toronto Star

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. Full Review

Carrie Rickey

It leaves no bodily fluid unexpressed, no heartstring unplucked.

Kirk Honeycutt

Kirk Honeycutt, Hollywood Reporter

The animation is rudimentary and imagination virtually absent.

Susan Stark

Susan Stark, Detroit News

Without question, it is not the major Hanukkah family classic just waiting to be made. Full Review

A bigger holiday downer than your end-of-year 401(k) statement.
