Little Nicky

The pitifgul awkwardness named Sandler is to die for after the opening scene, but over the course of the running time the creators (unsurprisingly not Sandler) manage a few successful jokes, so it's bearable. It's hard to enjoy, though. (20/08/2004)

What a terribly crazy film! Sandler once again applies absolutely incredible humour, which is definitely not for everyone, and I tolerate it only because he makes fun of absolutely everyone and everything he can think of. First of all from hell itself, which is portrayed so stupidly and unbelievably for us Czechs, that the parodic touch completely won out and overwhelmed the sheer stupidity of the film – watching Satan played Harvey Keitel punish Adolf Hitler had something to it, no matter how one views it. On the one hand, it was painful to watch an actor of Sandler's quality in such an idiotic role, but the few excellent scenes and the many direct references connected with the participation of many familiar faces were a pleasure. I don't know if I should recommend it, but it's not a complete waste of time by any means. 50% (23/04/2011)

I couldn't get into this movie at all at the start, but eventually, I did. It's playful, it's quirky, and I eventually got used to Sandler's grin. Some of the actors here deliver absolutely unforgettable performances, and the CGI, which for its time is actually quite good, is used superbly. I will simply remember this film. (24/06/2014)

Apparently one of Sandler's weaker comedies, I would say belonging to those on the border with all kinds of weird and absurd things. At the same time, it has a very strong cast. Also, I was annoyed throughout the whole runtime by Sandler's expression. Many times I regretted that this older comedy of his constantly eluded me, but there was no reason, just like with Waterboy, I quickly forget. On the other hand, Happy Gilmore, Punch Drunk Love, or Click are unforgettable, and that is why Sandler remains in my top ten favorite actors. (06/01/2013)
