Reviews for Little Nicky
Top CriticCreating perhaps his most irritating persona to date, Sandler manages to get through the entire movie with barely a single gag, save for a few uninspired chuckles.

Top CriticThis could have been a great film, if only the main performance was not such a dead zone.
01/01/00
If you can take Sandler for more than five minutes, this is his funniest film to date.

Top CriticThough it's an improvement over Big Daddy, it's still not as consistently lowbrow funny as Happy Gilmore.
01/01/00
Sandler's shtick (i.e., talking like a moron) is waning.

Top CriticHas an enormous cast of stars, including Harvey Keitel as daddy devil. But even the stars couldn't brighten up this flick.

Top CriticIt's a clever idea bogged down in sophomoric sloppiness.

Top CriticOne of Sandler's best.
01/01/00
Whatever is good gets drowned out by the nasty tone that oozes from much of the humor.
01/01/00
Farfetched as it seems, Little Nicky emerges as a comic tribute to filial loyality.
08/02/02
Here's a movie in which heaven is ingeniously conceived as the inside of a birthday cake, and critics everywhere defaulted to the post-chic anti-Adam Sandler stance.
04/25/01
A few more laughs wouldn't have hurt.
01/01/00
Simply not that funny... a film that feels forced in its formula and naked in its construction.
09/03/02
I couldn't muster more than a self-aware giggle or two while watching.
01/01/00
Just another juvenile Sandler comedy -- and one with relatively few laughs at that.
01/01/00
The movie doesn't have one genuine moment of imagination, good timing or comic inspiration.
