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. The mismatch between Whitey's good heart and never-ending optimism and Davey's constant troublemaking soon have them both wondering if going to jail wouldn't have been easier! In this new, full-length animated feature about basketball, old girlfriends, holiday spirits, and the mall, Adam Sandler voices the three lead characters of Whitey, Davey, and Whitey's fraternal twin sister Eleanore!
Leave your thoughts about Eight Crazy Nights.
| Boston GlobeWesley MorrisWhat's special about the movie is how totally it believes in itself as a musical. The tunes, co-written by Sandler and a bunch of his pals, take on rock opera and traditional Jewish folk music with boyish exuberance. |
| TV Guide MagazineAngel CohnAn offbeat, sometimes gross and surprisingly appealing animated film about the true meaning of the holidays. |
| Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasOn 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. |
| Seattle Post-IntelligencerSean AxmakerThe film has good design, effective animation and generic if endurable songs, but Sandler wants to slam his sentiment and wallow in it too, and he compromises with the worst of both worlds. |
| Philadelphia InquirerCarrie RickeyMazel tov, Adam, for having three movies released in five months. You should maybe spend more time on the next one? |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertHeaven help the unsuspecting families who wander into Adam Sandler's Eight Crazy Nights expecting a jolly animated holiday funfest. |
| New York PostMegan LehmannThe animated, Hanukkah-themed musical is, in fact, 75 minutes worth of belching, barfing and poo-jokes braided into a Grinch-meets-Scrooge-meets-"It's a Wonderful Life" storyline that's as stale as last year's potato latkes. |
| The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Liam LaceyBoth syrupy and scatological, this is a typical family-dividing Sandler comedy: Parents will hate it but the kids will delight in its rudeness. |
| Miami HeraldChristine DolanDo not, under any circumstances, consider taking a child younger than middle school age to this wallow in crude humor. |
| ReelViewsJames BerardinelliThis is as dreadful a holiday offering as you're likely to find this year. A lump of coal would be more welcome. |
