What Parents Need to Know

About Adam Sandler's Eight Crazy Nights

Parents need to know that this movie is not for young children or those who might find Davey's actions worth imitating. The movie has extremely vulgar humor and strong language for a PG-13. The gross-out factor of this movie is quite high, so some parents may not wish to watch the movie themselves.

    Good, Its Now 14+

    There was no f-words just minor swearing. If i remember correctly there were a few sexual jokes. Lots of drinking, but a lot of the role models where good. The main one was bad

    My concerns are:
    • Inappropriate sexual content
    • Inappropriate language
    • Drinking, smoking, or drug use
    • Negative role models

    • My highlights are:
    • Positive messages

    A complete raunchfest with a message.

    Parents should know that this film is loaded with references to phone sex, images of an old man's hairy butt, animals pooping, a drunk man vomiting, and more. he language is extremely vulgar and there is lots of drinking. Parents should also note that- 1)the film is animated. 2)The film redeems itself with the message that expressing your feelings is better an bottling them up.

    Holidy comedy will have teens hearts warm and their sides acheing

    This is a very sweet and very funny holiday movie for teens who can't stand the childish specials on T.v, but there are some issues: 1. Mainly comic violence. 2. Frecuant crude humor, sexual refrences and jokes are made 3. Language includes S--t, a-s, and b-lls. 4. Davey uses and abuses alcahol. Overall this is a fun movie for teens to watch around christmas time.

    LOVE..

    The thing about Adam Sandler is, you either love him and his movies, or you hate him and his movies. I LOVE. Awesome holiday movie, not really inappropriate, unless you are adverse to swearing in movies. Sandler's charactor starts off bitter, but ends up being the 'good guy.' 10-13+, depending on parents opinion.

    It's not that bad... 15+? i dont think so.

    People its a comedy. Yeah, a kid is really gonna act like the people in this... NOT! I loved this movie when i was 11, and it was not innapropriate then and it's not now. 10+. It's funny and is one of the only hannukah movies out there so anyone who thinks its innapropriate is completely wrong.

    bad

    With personal experience, I warn you never to watch an Adam Sandler movie except maybe Weeding Singer. They are absolutely horrible.

    A Holiday Classic

    Adam Sandler is my favorite actor. This movie was great. The jokes were very funny (what do you expect?). It is so good and it is a good holiday movie too. Despite the funniness it does actually have some morals. It tells kids: to not drink, be nice to other people, and promotes holiday spirit in the end. This movie is good for those of all ages, but radicals would probably have a different opinion. I love this movie.

    ADAM SANDLER'S EIGHT CRAZY NIGHTS

    The film ....EIGHT CRAZY NIGHTS is an extremely crude and childish film that most teenage boys will love and girls will shun. Davey drinks most of the time, is very rude, and mostly annoying.
