Eight Crazy Nights [DVD]

Description

Product Description Animated comedy feature. In the New England town of Dukesberry lives Davey Stone (voice of Adam Sandler), a short tempered man who causes trouble wherever he goes. He hates the holiday season and on the first day of Chanukah he lands himself in front of a judge. Having had to deal with Davey before, the judge (Voice of Norm Crosby) wants to send him to prison. But Whitey (voice of Sandler), an eccentric but kindly man, asks for a chance to turn Davey into a responsible citizen. .co.uk Review Adam Sandler fans will find the animated movie 8 Crazy Nights to be another flowering of Sandler's absurdist goofiness; but people who find Sandler completely annoying will be triply annoyed by it, because Sandler does the voices for three different characters: Davey Stone, a boozing, belching, self-loathing loser who hates the holidays; Whitey, a tiny old man who tries to rehabilitate Davey; and Eleanor, Whitey's neurotic twin sister, who seems not to have left her house in years. Fans will find the slapdash musical numbers and scatological humour hilarious; foes will find them tiresome and banal. But even Sandler's advocates won't care about the by-the-numbers plot of holiday redemption; you see, Davey's parents died on the first night of Hanukkah, and he just needs to cry about it. Sandler's best when he's walking that line between stupid and smart-ass. When he gets sentimental, it's trouble. --Bret Fetzer
