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

Consensus: Despite the presence of a large, talented cast, the jokes in Little Nicky are dumb, tasteless, and not that funny, and Adam Sandler's character is grating to watch.

Nicky (Sandler) is relieved when his father (Harvey Keitel) decides to continue as ruler of the underworld for another 10,000 years instead of picking one of his bullying brothers, Adrian (Rhys Ifans) or Cassius (Tom "Tiny" Lister), to reign. Adrian and Cassius, hungry for power, decide to travel to New York City in order to spread Hell on Earth. Only Nicky can stop them and save his father--and the world--from his brothers' evil schemes. But Nicky has no idea what to expect from New York City, and he has to deal with new activities such as eating, sleeping, and meeting a new girlfriend, Valerie (Patricia Arquette). His friends Mr. Beefy, a talking bulldog, and John and Peter, a pair of hardcore heavy metal fans, try to help Nicky stand up for himself and eventually save the universe. LITTLE NICKY features a cast of regulars from other Adam Sandler movies, plus a hilariously bizarre sense of humor that allows all sorts of odd and twisted things to happen. [More]

Reviews for Little Nicky
jokes about genitalia, as well as jabs at gays and the handicapped, and two scenes in which someone gets an object shoved into his posterior. ...Congratulations, MPAA: You're doing one helluva job of protecting our kids from unsavory material.
Até mesmo o Inferno é mais divertido do que esta bomba. Isto é; desde que Adam Sandler não esteja lá.
I'm not a fan, never have been...but it could have starred Bill Murray and it still wouldn't have been funny
It would be hyperbole to argue that the road to movie hell is entirely paved with Adam Sandler's crude intentions -- but the guy sure has made a heck of a start.
You will find this funny or not funny, depending on your tolerance for crass humor in the hands of a clown desperate to wring a reaction out of you.
Where's Sandler in all this? Lost in gimmicks that smack of desperation.
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.
Easily Sandler's worst film, and an ill-assembled, cretinous wreck it is.
even when Sandler plays the spawn of Satan, he still plays him as an infantile dork
...pure entertainment for the brain dead; a lifeless, frustrating travesty of comedy that suspends laughs for cringes, wit for idiocy, and pleasure for agony.
Whatever is good gets drowned out by the nasty tone that oozes from much of the humor.
