Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.

Moustroll Good movie but grossly overrated

Siflutter It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

Mathilde the Guild Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

paulnbrowne This film is so appalling bad, I can't begin to review it.There is nothing of any substance in this film.There is no wit.There is no subtlety.There is no humour.I only managed to watch the first ten minutes. I was feeling nauseous by then.Both my young children were pleading with me to turn it off.Adam Sandler should have a public warning on all his films. If you want to refresh just how unfunny Mr. Sandler is, Google his filmography. It is like a criminal record of legendary unfunny cinematography.If you watch this film you will regret it for the rest of your life..... and possibly longer.

Hannah Eye First of all... I am an avid Christmas movie buff and love holiday movies. With that being said, I thought this movie was full of holiday spirit along with a pretty solid message. I love the fact that everyone and their mother has to be super negative when it comes to new movies and such.. I thought this movie was full of comedy and cleverness. The songs were pretty catchy and very holiday oriented. I found Adam Sander along with his wife (Jackie) very talented and funny. Loved the movie and plan on making this a classic every year on my Christmas must watch list... Cheers and happy holidays!

TheLittleSongbird As a non-Adam Sandler fan who has liked some of his stuff(Punch Drunk Love, Reign Over Me, Happy Gilmore, Billy Madison and Anger Management, even Hotel Transylvania), Eight Crazy Nights is not as bad as Jack and Jill, Going Overboard, Little Nicky, You Don't Mess with the Zohan or I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry. But it is one of his weaker films. The animation is decent, with some nice shadings and well-crafted backgrounds, the Chanukah Song is catchy and some credit is due that the film tried to incorporate adult themes that are relevant and didn't sugar-coat the festivities too much. The rest of the songs however are forgettable at best with some rather crude lyrics at times, Sandler's singing was nice at times but at others rather nasally. The story is well-intentioned and any story that plays like a Christmas Carol variant is always welcome, but it focuses so much on the themes present that any charm or heart was completely lost in translation. There is no warmth either, in fact Eight Crazy Nights as a film in general came across as too mean-spirited. The characters don't engage either, most grate on your nerves while others are completely bland. Same with the voice acting, with Sandler the whole just screams of a vanity project and much of the time especially with Whitey he is incredibly annoying. Rob Schneider and Jon Lovitz can be decent when the material is good but the humour doesn't let them do much and there is a lack of energy. Where Eight Crazy Nights is hurt most though is the dialogue and the humour, which alone makes it fail as a family film, if you count it as one, if anything actually it is animated geared for an adult audience. Children if they did see it are likely to not understand the innuendo, gags and dialogue while adults are likely to find it too immature to be funny. So vulgar and in such bad-taste the humour was that some of the jokes veered on or were offensive. That the story was very mean-spirited and there was no real sign of festive cheer made things even worse. To conclude, not as terrible as heard and there are definitely worse animations and films out there but aside from its good intentions, the animation and one good song Eight Crazy Nights from personal, subjective tastes was annoying, puerile, charmless and in a nutshell badly misconceived. If people like it though that's not a problem with me, as Sandler's films and humour has garnered some appeal that will divide audiences. It's just sad that there is a real inability on this site for people to be understanding of each other's opinion and instead make themselves sound arrogant(Sandler fans, detractors of well-received but admittedly divisive films like 2001, Drive and Tree of Life, and defenders of panned family films are the biggest offenders here which is why I'm mentioning it now). 3/10 Bethany Cox

Mr_Censored Adam Sandler's first (and to date, only) animated feature, "Eight Crazy Nights," takes a cue from his infamous "Chanukah Song" in celebrating the Jewish holiday -- as well as good old commercial Christmas -- musical style. With all the typical Sandler comedic hallmarks, it's certainly not a children's feature, but is admittedly a lot softer and more toned down than, say, "Happy Gilmore" or "Billy Madison." The story revolves around the self-loathing loser, Davey, who is essentially a by-the-books "Happy Madison" character. Since his better days have passed him by, he spends most of his time being drunk and unhappy while simultaneously making everyone around him miserable. Because justice apparently takes a holiday, he is let off the hook for a drunken misdemeanor in turn for some community service. Davey must coach a youth league basketball team with the help of a bizarre little old man by the name of Whitey who has a disturbingly hairy body and who still lives with his sister. Slowly, Davey starts to redeem himself and even takes a stab at winning back the girl who got away from him.Aside from being typical Adam Sandler fare, "Eight Crazy Nights" is rather vibrant in both its animation style and its musical numbers. It's simply a predictable, yet feel-good story that no doubt has worked its way into becoming somewhat of a holiday classic. Adam Sandler provides the voices of all three main characters, while the usual gaggle of co-horts in Jon Lovitz, Kevin Nealon, Rob Schneider and Allen Covert show up, too.
