Some people thought this movie was terrible, but I beg to differ. It had a lot of problems, but it really isn't that bad. Sandler seems to have come into his own as a movie star with a great appeal on the ...

Advantages: funny comedy for the holidays Disadvantages: appears to be a children's movie, and is not.
I rented this movie with a few friends to preview it for my little brother, who had seen a commercial and wanted to watch it. I must say, before anything else, this is not a kid’s movie. Don’t be fooled by the cover’s appearance; it may be a story for the holidays and it may be a cartoon, but the jokes and content of this movie are more suited for 14 year olds or older.
Davey Stone, our main character, is the Grinch of the Jewish holiday Chanukah. ... ...he goes out of his way to wreck it for others as well. He isn’t well liked by the town and the police know him quite well. I was disappointed to see that Davey Stone’s character is a predictable mold of Sandler’s other characters: the jerk who’s really a good guy deep down, but just needs a pretty girl to help him find that out.
Sandler threw in some outrageous characters as well, as he always does in his movies. The most memorable being Whitey, ...

Plot: Adam Sandler and director Seth Kearsley present an animated Hanukkah tale with ADAM SANDLER'S EIGHT CRAZY NIGHTS. Davey Stone (Sandler) is lurching down a wayward path. He's a drunk and aging delinquent, infamous in Dukesberry for spreading misery as deftly as he belches full sentences. He's facing prison when Whitey Duvall (Sandler again), a lovable, physically challenged man, proposes that Stone work with him at the community centre as a referee for the local basketball league. The surly Stone accepts the job, and moves in with Whitey and his twin sister, Eleanore (also voiced by Sandler). But the true test is whether Stone can rise above his self-destructive habits in order to reunite with his former girlfriend, Jennifer (Jackie Titone), and act as a role model for her young son, Benjamin (Austin Stout). The snow-covered landscapes in EIGHT CRAZY NIGHTS have a pleasing, three-dimensional realism that's as cheerful as a Hallmark holiday card. Sandler, with his wide range of inane, high-pitched voices, is as funny as ever, punctuating the innocent world of EIGHT CRAZY NIGHTS with the refreshingly irreverent brand of humour he displayed in HAPPY GILMORE, THE WEDDING SINGER, and BIG DADDY. Though the film isn't really for kids, Sandler and Kearsley manage to make even the more daring animated characters--like one with three breasts--seem harmless. EIGHT CRAZY NIGHTS also features the voices of Jon Lovitz, Kevin Nealon, Rob Schneider, and Tyra Banks.
