 "Not even Steven Spielberg has dreamed up such blatant and sickening product placement in a movie."
-- Jeffrey M. Anderson, SAN FRANCISCO EXAMINER
"Stale first act, Scrooge story, blatant product placement, some very good comedic songs, strong finish, dumb fart jokes."
-- Ross Anthony, HOLLYWOOD REPORT CARD
"The innocence of holiday cheer ain't what it used to be."
-- Sean Axmaker, SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER
"Adam Sandler's Eight Crazy Nights grows on you -- like a rash."
-- Joe Baltake, SACRAMENTO BEE
"A sub-formulaic slap in the face to seasonal cheer."
-- Rob Blackwelder, SPLICEDWIRE
 "A little gem of animated lunacy that shows the comedian getting back to his roots."
-- Larry Carroll, COUNTINGDOWN.COM
"An offbeat, sometimes gross and surprisingly appealing animated film about the true meaning of the holidays."
-- Angel Cohn, TV GUIDE'S MOVIE GUIDE
"Nights feels more like a quickie TV special than a feature film... It’s not even a TV special you’d bother watching past the second commercial break."
-- David Cornelius, AMAZING COLOSSAL WEBSITE
"Do not, under any circumstances, consider taking a child younger than middle school age to this wallow in crude humor."
-- Christine Dolen, MIAMI HERALD
"The Hanukkah spirit seems fried in pork."
-- David Elliott, SAN DIEGO UNION-TRIBUNE
"The cartoon is about as true to the spirit of the Festival of Lights as Mr. Deeds was to that of Frank Capra."
-- Dan Fienberg, L.A. WEEKLY
"Don't let your festive spirit go this far."
-- Harry Guerin, RTE INTERACTIVE (DUBLIN, IRELAND)
"Schmaltzy and unfunny, Adam Sandler's cartoon about Hanukkah is numbingly bad, Little Nicky bad, 10 Worst List bad."
-- Chris Hewitt, ST. PAUL PIONEER PRESS

"Certain to be distasteful to children and adults alike, Eight Crazy Nights is a total misfire."
-- Marjorie Baumgarten, AUSTIN CHRONICLE
"Goes on and on to the point of nausea."
-- Gary Brown, HOUSTON COMMUNITY NEWSPAPERS
"Adam Sandler's heart may be in the right place, but he needs to pull his head out of his butt"
-- Laura Clifford, REELING REVIEWS
"Almost as offensive as "Freddy Got Fingered.""
-- Linda Cook, QUAD CITY TIMES (DAVENPORT, IA)
"If this holiday movie is supposed to be a gift, somebody unwrapped it early, took out all the good stuff, and left behind the crap (literally)."
-- Cherryl Dawson and Leigh Ann Palone, THEMOVIECHICKS.COM
"It’s definitely not made for kids or their parents, for that matter, and I think even fans of Sandler’s comic taste may find it uninteresting."
-- Mark Dujsik, MARK REVIEWS MOVIES
"Potty-mouthed enough for PG-13, yet not as hilariously raunchy as South Park, this strangely schizo cartoon seems suited neither to kids or adults."
-- J. C. Farrow, CITYSEARCH
"One lousy movie."
-- Jack Garner, JOURNAL NEWS
"There's more scatological action in 8 Crazy Nights than a proctologist is apt to encounter in an entire career."
-- Ken Hanke, MOUNTAIN XPRESS (ASHEVILLE, NC)
"Unlike Trey Parker, Sandler doesn't understand that the idea of exploiting molestation for laughs is funny, not actually exploiting it yourself."
-- Stephen Himes, FILM SNOBS

ROTTEN 15%
Avg. Rating: 3.4/10 |
"Animated drivel meant to enhance the self-image of drooling idiots."
-- John Anderson, NEWSDAY
"The only time 8 Crazy Nights comes close to hitting a comedic or satirical target is during the offbeat musical numbers."
-- James Berardinelli, JAMES BERARDINELLI'S REELVIEWS
"Who is this movie for? Not kids, who don't need the lesson in repugnance. It's also not smart or barbed enough for older viewers -- not everyone thinks poo-poo jokes are 'edgy.'"
-- Mark Caro, CHICAGO TRIBUNE
"Adam Sandler's 8 Crazy Nights is 75 wasted minutes of Sandler as the voice-over hero in Columbia Pictures' perverse idea of an animated holiday movie."
-- Mike Clark, USA TODAY
"A bigger holiday downer than your end-of-year 401(k) statement."
-- Scott Craven, ARIZONA REPUBLIC
"The problem with all of this: It's not really funny."
-- Robert Denerstein, DENVER ROCKY MOUNTAIN NEWS
"If you're burnt out on It's a Wonderful Life marathons and bored with A Christmas Carol, it might just be the movie you're looking for. It depends on how well flatulence gags fit into your holiday concept."
-- Gary Dowell, DALLAS MORNING NEWS
"If there was ever a movie where the upbeat ending feels like a copout, this is the one."
-- Roger Ebert, CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
"May puzzle his most ardent fans."
-- Scott Foundas, VARIETY
"The most ill-conceived animated comedy since the 1991 dog Rover Dangerfield."
-- Bruce Fretts, ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY

"Eight Crazy Nights is a showcase for Sandler's many talents."
