For all the high concept gags and elaborate digital magic there are no fall down funny laughs, but there’s a steady stream of amusing asides, nutty gags, crude humor, and lewd references, all tempered by [Sandler's] gawky goofball innocence.

This is no Wedding Singer.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 25, 2010

Maybe Adam Sandler really has some familial connections with the Devil.

Pretty hellish.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Jun 2, 2008

A pleasantly sloppy party that doesn't go on too long.

| Original Score: B | Mar 11, 2008

If you can take Sandler for more than five minutes, this is his funniest film to date.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 30, 2006

I don't know why, but I just wasn't laughing that much.

| Original Score: 2/4 | May 26, 2006

No, it's not a masterpiece, nor is it meant to be. For those of us greatly amused by the little rascal, this is a definite four-star movie.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 6, 2005

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jul 5, 2005

...diverting enough to warrant a recommendation...

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Aug 1, 2003

The wait for funny scenes feels like an eternity spent in hell.

Sandler delivers a performance that would cause yawns in a Montessori.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Mar 26, 2003

This film is pretty much stupid from start to finish, although there are occasions when one is unable to stifle an embarrassed chuckle.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Feb 8, 2003

The road to hell is paved with ... bathroom humor.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 7, 2002

Nothing in this ambitious, effects-laden spectacle about family values in hell made me laugh. Not once.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Oct 15, 2002

Plays like a series of sketches performed by a revolving cast of guest stars, a Carol Burnett Show of the damned.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Sep 6, 2002

Simply not that funny... a film that feels forced in its formula and naked in its construction.

| Original Score: D | Sep 3, 2002

Farfetched as it seems, Little Nicky emerges as a comic tribute to filial loyality.

| Aug 2, 2002

Has an enormous cast of stars, including Harvey Keitel as daddy devil. But even the stars couldn't brighten up this flick.
