Adam Sandler's Eight Crazy Nights Critic Reviews

Sorted by:
The New York Times | A.O. ScottAdd Critic to Favorites

Festooned with yards of gross-out jokes, sniggering allusions and, astonishingly, a sentimental climax that's more repellent than any of the crude effluvia the film is drenched with.Read the full review

Washington Post | Ann HornadayAdd Critic to Favorites

In this vile contribution to the animated holiday genre, Sandler proves himself once again determined to get rich by setting the bar just a little bit lower each time out.Read the full review

You know all that artistic cred Adam Sandler built up with his acclaimed work in ''Punch-Drunk Love''? Well, he flushes it down the crapper with Adam Sandler's Eight Crazy Nights -- the most ill-conceived animated comedy since the 1991 dog ''Rover Dangerfield.''Read the full review

You've never seen a movie go from awwwww to ewwwww so fast.Read the full review

Isn't appropriate for any innocent child -- assuming such lovely creatures still exist. But boys and girls who enjoy surprise attacks in their entertainment (of the aforementioned toilet variety) are going to have a blast. Sad but true.Read the full review

Wall Street Journal | Joe MorgensternAdd Critic to Favorites

An appallingly tedious Hanukkah comedy that must have bubbled up from the Porta Potti of his subconscious.Read the full review

Los Angeles Times | Kevin ThomasAdd Critic to Favorites

On the whole, this lively, bittersweet Columbia release works well and is sure to connect strongly with fans of Sandler at his most free-wheeling and uninhibited. Scrub off the latrine humor, and underneath there's a heart-tugging sentimental tale of uplift and redemption.Read the full review

USA Today | Mike ClarkAdd Critic to Favorites

Myopic Whitey, continually passed over for a lifetime achievement athletic award, bears a passing resemblance to Columbia's all-time No. 1 animated star, the nearsighted Mr. Magoo. It's nice to think that if he ever went to this movie, he wouldn't be able to see it.Read the full review

The Onion (A.V. Club) | Nathan RabinAdd Critic to Favorites

The worst Hanukkah movie ever made, Adam Sandler's Eight Crazy Nights does for the holiday what "Santa Claus: The Movie" did for Christmas.Read the full review
