Despite its critical failure, Eight Crazy Nights is a surprisingly watchable holiday movie that showcases Adam Sandler's comedic range.
Although it has an ignominious reputation, Adam Sandler ’s holiday movie Eight Crazy Nights is nowhere near as bad as critics claimed. In 2002, it truly seemed as if Adam Sandler could do no wrong. After a successful star-making run on Saturday Night Live, Sandler starred in a string of hit ‘90s comedies that elevated him the Hollywood A-list.
Billy Madison, Happy Gilmore, The Waterboy, and Big Daddy were all huge hits, while 1998’s The Wedding Singer proved that Sandler could also anchor a sweet rom-com. This era featured some of Sandler’s best characters and made his box office gold. However, the failure of 2000’s Little Nicky should have been a sign for Sandler. This ambitiously weird fantasy comedy saw Sandler bring his brand of lowbrow comedy into a risky new genre and the resulting mashup was hated by critics and ignored by cinema-goers. It didn't help that the titular misfit was one of Sandler’s worst characters, but the actor would soon be hit by another flop that dimmed his star power further. 2002’s animated holiday musical Eight Crazy Nights was a major failure for Sandler, although the movie isn’t as bad as its reputation suggests. With a Rotten Tomatoes critical rating of only 13%, it is fair to call Eight Crazy Nights one of Sandler’s biggest failures. On a budget of $34 million, Eight Crazy Nights earned only $23 million upon release and few reviewers found anything to enjoy in the animated adult comedy. However, it is worth noting that Eight Crazy Nights has a far stronger Rotten Tomatoes audience score of 50%
