0/4
"Eight Crazy Nights is a shallow, crude, mean-spirited and painfully unfunny excursion into lunacy..."  Cinemaphile.org  David Keyes

2/4
"...ideal for Adam Sandler fans who were confused by Punch-Drunk Love."  Reel Film Reviews  David Nusair

"This animated abomination is so desperately awful that one walks away amazed at the power Sandler must wield in Hollywood to get it released at all."  Portland Tribune  Dawn Taylor

2/4
"When all is said and done, [it] could have afforded another rewrite and a willingness to avoid pandering to the MPAA ratings board."  TheMovieBoy.com  Dustin Putman

D-
"An excessively gross, dull film ... lacking originality or wit."  EricDSnider.com  Eric D. Snider

D+
"An unfortunate return to form for Adam Sandler"  Film Blather  Eugene Novikov

D-
"An astonishingly tasteless combination of gross sentimentality and simple grossness."  One Guy's Opinion  Frank Swietek

1.5/4
"The only time 8 Crazy Nights comes close to hitting a comedic or satirical target is during the offbeat musical numbers."  ReelViews  James Berardinelli

3/10
"Beyond the standard Christmas Carol plot of a bad guy seeing the error of his ways, the rest of the story is quite lame and uninspired."  Screen It!  Jim Judy

4/10
"Too childish to be enjoyed by adults and too nasty to be enjoyed by the toddlers."  JoBlo's Movie Emporium  JoBlo

6/10
"The most stirring holiday film since Prancer, and the best animated musical since South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut."  Planet Sick-Boy  Jon Popick

B
"A little gem of animated lunacy that shows the comedian getting back to his roots."  Countingdown.com  Larry Carroll

C
"Adam Sandler's heart may be in the right place, but he needs to pull his head out of his butt"  Reeling Reviews  Laura Clifford

1.5/4
"It’s definitely not made for kids or their parents, for that matter, and I think even fans of Sandler’s comic taste may find it uninteresting."  Mark Reviews Movies  Mark Dujsik

"[T]he movie is like a snotty little kid who thinks he can shock you with all the naughty words he knows..."  Flick Filosopher  MaryAnn Johanson

2/4
"Sentimentality and secretions, with a generous helping of blatant product placement, do not make for the most graceful of holiday entertainments."  Mr. Brown's Movies  Michael Dequina

2/5
"Families looking for something to watch together should steer well clear, unless appreciation of outhouse humor is a family tradition."  Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies  Nell Minow

1.5/5
"The songs are rather forgettable and sometimes downright painful."  Shadows on the Wall  Rich Cline

1/5
"This movie's gotta be the result of some pot-induced wager between Adam Sandler and his nattering cronies: "Hey guys, I'm like a $20 million movie star! How freakin' FUNNY is that? I bet I can make ANY movie I want!""  eFilmCritic.com  Scott Weinberg

C
"The innocence of holiday cheer ain't what it used to be."  Seattle Post-Intelligencer  Sean Axmaker
