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.
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.
The only good film Sandler ever starred in was Punch Drunk Love as he is actually more suited for drama than comedy. This film really did try, it really did. The animations were quite nice and the songs were descent, but it was all ruined by Sandler-style schtick. It also suffers from the usual problem that plagues Sandler films being that it pretty much shoves the character development in our faces without properly fleshing it out. The setup was good: a guy who's depressed because his parents are dead and wants the world to suffer just as much as he does. That was a good set-up for the message it was trying to get across, but the film doesn't do enough with it. Also, again, the typical Sandler-style humor just got to me, but moreso than most other Sandler films as this one tries WAY too hard to be funny.
Normally I try to write good reviews, that help other people. That being said, this movie is stupid. Do not watch it. This movie was done in horrible taste. I'm a fan of Adam Sandler, but this movie has lessened my liking for him.
