63Sandler, at the center, is a distraction; he steals scenes, and we want him to give them back.
-
67There are laughs to be had, yet the movie is, if anything, more strenuous than it is funny.
-
40Diehard Sandler fans will probably find it uproarious, but others will have to make do with the occasional chuckle.
-
63It's funnier than "Bedazzled," which isn't saying much.
-
20Where's Sandler in all this? Lost in gimmicks that smack of desperation. Damn it.
-
25Stoner jokes, awful gags, and just stupid stuff equate to one bad movie.
-
60The kindest thing that can be said about Sandler's sense of humor is that it's unapologetically juvenile.
-
20How much you enjoy this movie depends on how funny you find Sandler talking out the side of his mouth with a gravelly squawk -- for the entire movie.
-
25Full of kerplunkingly unfunny jokes and ex-"Saturday Night Live" cast members turning up to do shtick.
-
0Bad actors, bad music and bad plot make it a hellish bummer.
-
67The film's rhythm is jerky, bouncing all around the place and making some of the setups feel unnecessary.
-
50A feast of bad taste, a demonic hog-wallow.
-
25Crude and giggly.
-
60Certainly Sandler's most ambitious work. It's not just a bid for respectability but a genuine allegory.
-
38Don't put yourself through this hell.
-
58Little Nicky will please Sandler's fans and likely won't win any converts.
-
60It's a clever idea bogged down in sophomoric sloppiness. Sitting through it doesn't feel like eternal damnation, but it's not exactly heaven, either. It's a $9.50 tour of adolescent purgatory.
-
50Hell itself is going to hell in Sandler's new comedy.
-
10Adam Sandler displays no virtuosity and stirs no pathos in this special-effects comedy.
-
80Sandler turns the joke around on his detractors and manages to lead a devilishly energetic vehicle that contains about as many laughs as his previous features combined.
-
10Sandler deserves to be damned to the pits of hell for this witless masturbatory comedy.
-
0Little Nicky will redefine the phrase "worst movie ever," because it might actually be the worst movie ever.
-
50Little Nicky is but a meek gross-out cousin of "The Waterboy."
-
42Though it's debatable whether Sandler is squandered or just supremely annoying here, the film's flaws aren't entirely his fault.
-
50Adam Sandler finally has a good excuse: The devil made him do it.
-
50Sandler repeats his sweet-souled doofus routine, with nerdy Patricia Arquette as the object of his affections.
-
70Juvenile, sloppy and frequently, idiotically hilarious.
-
10Disgusting and humorless mess.
-
62Plenty of the tasteless gags don't fly, and for every celebrity cameo that works (a hilariously heavenly Reese Witherspoon), there are two or three that crash and burn.
