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.

This movie is emotional and funny the fact that this movie has alot of hate is stupid, yes there's humor in a touching moment but if you think this movie is bad that's just unintelligent.

Eight Crazy Nights stands out for its perfect mix of outrageous humor and unexpected heart. Adam Sandler’s irreverent style delivers nonstop laughs, while the film's deeper themes of redemption and community add surprising emotional depth. The quirky animation and catchy songs elevate the fun, and the soundtrack is both memorable and hilarious. It’s a holiday movie that doesn’t follow the typical formula, offering something fresh and entertaining while still leaving a lasting emotional impact.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
