Product: Eight Crazy Nights [VHS] (2002)
Rating: 3.0
Funny
I make no claim that this is the best movie ever, or a classic. But it's not without its merits. If you're a fan of Sandler and his kind of humor, you will enjoy this movie. If you don't like Adam Sandler, you probably won't like this movie, period.I'm not a HUGE fan of Sandler, but I have enjoyed his movies (50 First Dates, Little Nicky, Mr. Deeds) so it was funny to see an animated version of him running around. The story isn't all slapstick and lowbrow humor, though. There's a moral to this story (you just have to look beyond the humor) which may be surprising. This movie is not without dirty humor, but I found it amusing (like the basketball scene with Sandler, the boy, the fat guy with the jockstrap, and the two guys who had been giving Sandler and the boy a hard time) and Whitey and his sister were amusing characters. Overall a funny movie and a decent addition to any Sandler collection.This is definitely NOT a movie for little kids. It's a cartoon, but this movie would go great on Adult Swim. I understand that some of the negative reviews for this film are from parents who complain about its inappropriateness for kids. YES, it's not for little kids - but the only kid-friendly Sandler movie I saw was 'Bedtime Stories', so anyone who is familiar with him should not be surprised that this movie is not for the little ones. If Amazon let me give half stars, this movie would get 3 1/2 stars.
