WORST MOVIE....EVER, its passed off as a comedy, its not a comedy, its not funny, its not interesting.....ITS BORING

Yeah well this movie was just terrible. Sandler tries paroding the classic cartoon musical but he fails in every way possible. I mean this is a stupid movie, one song is about how great the mall is and then another song has the logos of different stores singing to him. It's almost a marketing ploy to get people to go holiday shopping more. The film also tries to make the audience sympathize with Sandler's character but once again it fails, we have seen the Grinch and A Christmas Carol too many times to actually care about this Jewish Scrooge. This movie sucks all around with cheap gross out humor that may have worked better had it been live action but that would have defeated the purpose of the film. And one last comment, Why the hell is this a double disc DVD? All of Sandlers good and/or funny movies are singular yet this movie is terribe and it gets the extra feature treatment. This movie sucks.

This is definitely one of the best movies I've ever seen. Great characters, great animation, great story. It has a moral but is by no means preachy, and is very funny. I would reccomend this to everyone.

OK, I'll admit that this isn't the most appropriate movie for children, but then again, aren't most of Adam Sandler's movies like that? I think that's what makes them funny; the crude humor. That's the problem with the movies coming out for kids lately: they're very lowbrow and cheesy. This is an animated movie that reaches more toward the teenage audience with a liking for bathroom-type humor and Adam Sandler's genius. A very memorable part from the movie for me is when Whitey was cleaning an outhouse for a dollar and Davey pushes it down a hill. Whitey emerges from the outhouse covered in human sewage and Davey then appears with a hose and sprays Whitey until he's a frozen block of crap. I love that part. "Smell ya later, Poopsicle!"

I STRONGLY agree that this movie is VERY underrated. Me and my little brother absolutley LOVE it, we've been watching the DVD ever since I got it for Christmas! We LOVE watching Davey Stone (the splitting image of and voiced with zest by Adam Sandler) make an idiot out of himself and everyone else around him. We LOVE Whitey Duvall's funny, squeaky, parrakeet-like voice (it's to die for)! His "Seizer scenes" are worth the 30 bucks this DVD costs! And how can you NOT love The deer and of course, Whitey's weird, wig-obessesed sister, Eleanore! My favorite song is "Bum-Biddy." I've never really been an Adam Sandler fan, but this movie is very underrated and really kicks @$$!

There's my story, and I'm sticking to it!

Man!That was the coolest movie I've ever seen and I want to buy it SOOOO much! But anyway Davey this "crazy 33 old Jewish guy" is like "the town bafoon". Adam plays Davey,Elonor who is Whitey's sister, who is hilarious and Whitey is the youth bastetball coach who is a really nice old man who does lots of good deeds including saving Davey from at least 10 yrs. in jail. You MUST see this great holiday movie! You just have to!

This movie is awesome. It is the perfect movie for the holiday season. I am absolutely crazy about Whitey, the old man referee in the movie. Elenore and Davey are also hilarious! I love this movie and watch it over and over again with my whole family. Something you should buy because it is great!
"Smell you later poopsicles!" (A funny line from the best movie in the WORLD!!!)

This is one of the best DVD I watched in a long time it is very fuuny, great story, great animations and I love the songs this is a movie that you can watch over and over I watched it about 17times now and it hasn't gotten old yet so if you are looking for a great movie(DVD) to buy get this one trust me it rocks.

Everyone's allowed to flop now and then. No matter how surprisingly. I'm pretty big on Adam Sandler. He was integral in championing the glory days of SNL. His humor is sick, perverted, and offensive - to some people, that is. Me, I find myself laughing myself half to death at the most shallow of toilet humor when engineered by Sandler, whereas 99% of society looks stupid and superfluous when the execution of this type of humor gets into the wrong hands. If you think NOBODY can pull off a fart joke that's actually funny, make sure you check out his first two cd's before nailing the coffin. They get old, but thankfully it takes a while for that to happen.

Then came his movies. One after another, legions of Sandler followers attended a decade's worth of 90 minute comedies which were diverse in storylines but similar in format and style. Fans couldn't have cared less about most critics' "2.5/4 ish ratings." Adam Sandler was and is a big pioneer of the kind of random humor that made big shots like Conan O'brien famous. Many don't get it, so they dismiss the Adam Sandler catalog entirely, though not before using some of the adjectives I demonstrated in the opening paragraph.

But then came this movie. I missed it in the theaters, so I rented it instead of buying it - smart move on all accounts. The first time I heard Whitey in the courtroom, I thought it was Adam's ("Stone"'s) main character just changing his tone of voice amidst his rantings with the judge. In due time, my brain recovered and realized that Adam was actually voicing an entirely different character. This is a huge joke - and not the kind that Sandler was going for. I've heard much better, and more contrasting, and much FUNNIER voices on his cd's, and basically anywhere else outside this project. Huge mistake #1 is having your two main characters have almost the same voice. It's as if the one character is just speaking in a higher voice the whole time, and it's not convincing at all. In other words, that's one strike for poor acting.

Huge mistake #2 is the plot. Whenever you've got animators involved, it pains me to see a great technical effort wasted on a failed delivery of entertainment. A promising youth gone bad after tragedy strikes - that's what briefly takes the main character on the tried-and-tired-to-death path of needing to confront his emotions.

What audience is this geared towards? It has the aspirations of a child's movie, which would make it more forgivable, but that notion is quickly dissolved as soon as we start seeing the stereotypical Sandlerisms that always randomly invade his work. Ok, not for children. But the 3rd grade plot makes a viewer who is any older than that want to beg for 74 minutes of his life back...

The movie's so short, barely over an hour, but 15 minutes into it I felt like time was moving so slowly, I was back in highschool. That NEVER happens with the always creative Adam Sandler, as he always keeps you involved... well, now we've got to change that to ALMOST always. I hate to say it, but Adam made a boring movie. What a time to have writer's block.

Adam Sandler is a great comedian with a lot of talent, potential, and resources. He can do anything he wants and I'm glad that he made an attempt at making an animated movie. Perhaps he shouldn't have even tried because EIGHT CRAZY NIGHTS is just plain terrible. Other than a couple of scenes and a soundtrack that's better than the movie itself, this movie is horrible. I mean, the Farrelly Brothers would be hard pressed to come up with something as sick and warped as this film. There's a guy who eats his jock strap, talking deer who eat feces, a woman with three breasts, and a poor old man whose one foot is smaller than the other and is covered in white hair. Each one of these creatures receive no sympathy (well the old guy does in the end) and instead are used totally as the butt of jokes. Davy Jones' conversion at the end of the film is totally unrealistic and in some ways even inappropriate. This is a film only for die-hard Sandler fans and that's about all, however I am giving this movie 2 stars instead of 1 because of the kicking soundtrack.
