In keeping with the holiday spirit, the judge gives Davey one last chance at redemption -- spend the holiday performing community service as the assistant referee for the youth basketball league or go to jail.

Critics Consensus

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

No plot, no story, no interesting characters, and no good music leads this to have a horrible rating.

Ok, ignore the bad reviews, this movie is incredible! Why we got so many sandler haters up in here? No seriously, this man is talented, and he's proved in in his latest movie "Leo". This film has been appreciated by so many. Look, I'm 32 and I enjoyed it as much as my 10 year old and 15 year old did. I think this movie is halariois. Yes, it's raunchy at times, but you have to look beyond that. Also, we are representing different cultures, not mocking them. (Jewish community) Only a fool would say that this movie sucks. 🗣🚫 come on guys. Watch this movie

I love this movie so much, I know it's filled with crude humor but I find it so oddly charming. The animation reminds me of a Disney film in a way, but the inappropriate nature of the movie makes it feel like a surreal expierence. I found myself wincing, laughing, and crying during this movie, and I enjoyed every bit of it. My favorite part is definitely the songs, I've watched this movie at least 5 times this month and I plan on watching it again before the seasons over.

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.

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

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.
