    Although not entirely unwatchable, Little Nicky is a big let-down. Adam's worst yet.

    One of the stupidist pieces of cr*p I've seen in a long time. It looks to be one of the year's worst films.

    A bit of humour, a bit of charm, and a whole heap of stupidity.

    It gets a few points for the few laughs I got. Unfortunately though I only saw the first half because I simply could not stand hearing Sandler speak like that for another second! I have never been driven from a movie by such a minor detail...but this one managed to do so. If it wasn't for the voice, I probably would've stayed to the end and maybe rated this higher. Whoever came up with the idea needs a big head butt!!!… Collapse

    A mess of a film that revels in its own stupidity. Its unfunny and rather nauseating. The few gags it does have cant save it from banality. Rubbish.

    It stinks... but if your brain is turned off, you'll have a few laughs!

    Suffers from Ishtaritis. A small scale Sandler movie can be fun and endearing--Happy Gilmore, Billy Madison--but this gargantuan production is a Hindenburg blimp in crash-and-burn mode.

    It's movie hell, in more ways than one.

    It'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.

    Full of kerplunkingly unfunny jokes and ex-"Saturday Night Live" cast members turning up to do shtick.

    Though it's debatable whether Sandler is squandered or just supremely annoying here, the film's flaws aren't entirely his fault.
