So much average

Sadly Over-hyped

An Exercise In Nonsense

The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

Buenos Chistes, Un Final Inesperado y La Gracia De Adam Sandler

Little Nicky is an amazing comedy about the son of the devil who wants to rock out to heavy tunes and party all day. When his father needs help, its up to out hero to save the day.Its not your standard variety little fish in a big pond story line. Nicky has to adjust to living on earth from eating to meeting girls. He has to rely on a pet Bill to be his guide and show him the ropes of the big city.It almost parallels a father sending his slacker son off to mature and grow as a person. Some of the best moments are when he almost chokes on chicken or his roommate catches him sleeping on a heater.If I was the actor who shared a room with him I'd be raising questions about his background or calling in a priest for an exorcism. Its almost cartoonist with the world set up and it works in its favor. It is an Adam Sandler comedy after all.It seems really charming when Nicky has to win Valerie's heart. Its almost magical in the acting and chemistry Patricia and Adam have as the leads. Adam plays him with passion, a real sweet heart and a little misunderstood. Patrica plays Valerie as gentle, awkward and a girl next door type.Join Nicky, Valerie and Mr. Beefy as they explore the real world.

Little Nicky was an older film by Adam Sandler in which has been forgotten by many because it was panned by critics and was considered a flop with its large budget. It is considered one of his worst films and it suits as it. The main problem with Little Nicky is that it is a comedy without humor. The screenplay, wastes most opportunities for laughs on routine pratfalls and lame devil on earth jokes. Some attempt at cleverness comes with the arrival of two goofy dudes, Pete and John (Peter Dante and Jonathan Loughran), but these apostles are more like Led Zeppelin hangers on than disciples of the potential anti-Christ. However I found his talking dog Beefy to be a highlight of the film. He was there to guide Nicky and help him survive on earth.Sandler has good intentions but his character comes off as annoying. If you dislike his character you are most likely not going to enjoy this film. The supporting cast around Nicky is made up of a who's who list in Hollywood that, unfortunately, has little to do. Rodney Dangerfield (as grandpa Lucifer), Dana Carvey, Jon Lovitz, Quentin Tarantino, Kevin Neelon, Michael McKean, Carl Weathers, Rob Schneider, Henry Winkler, Ozzie Osbourne and Regis Philbin, among others, make their appearances in cameo perfs. Overall the film has some moments worth watching but don't expect a hilarious type comedy

After the lord of darkness decides he will not cede his underworld thrown to any of his three sons, the two most powerful of the three escape to Earth to create a kingdom for themselves there.This action closes the portal filtering sinful souls to Hell and causes Satan to begin withering away.He must send his most weak but beloved son, Little Nicky, to Earth to return his brothers to Hell.Can Nicky learn his way around Earth and round up his brothers in time to save Satan....This is the point in Sandlers career when one of his movies actually failed to set the box office alight. It's not surprising when you watch it, it rarely makes sense, but is still very funny.It's as if Sandler has made his up to now greatest hits and got all of the funny people from previous movies and whacked them all into this.The story is simple but is really put on to the back burner in order to provide the audience with a slew of dodgy CGI, funny cameos and even funnier scenarios.Some of the jokes don't stick, but for every Dana Carvey, there is Climt Howard rubbing his nipples.So all in all, it's not really a film, just a lot of funny moments surrounding a silly mission.But because it's so insane, it's laugh out loud funny.
