Critics Consensus

Sandler returns to his roots in this nauseating concoction filled with potty humor and product placements.

There aren't enough creative Yiddish insults in the world to adequately express how much I hate Adam Sandler's "Eight Crazy Nights."

The film might have been funny if it weren't so poorly executed and fixated on bodily functions.

Film Frenzy

The corporate pimping is actually far more offensive than the scatological humor.

Rated: 1.5/4

The juvenile nastiness can be pretty darn funny when it clicks, but the fact that you actually feel for any of these characters is a testament to the attempt to tell a meaningful story.

While Eight Crazy Nights might not quite be the "nauseating concoction" that Rotten Tomatoes describes it to be, admittedly the film is rather poor overall.

Rated: C-

Not every bit ages well...but I was entertained a majority of da film. Delightful wacky supporting characters. Beautifully animated. Still like 20 too many poop jokes for the average joe.
