Little Nicky (2000)

Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.

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.

This Film Is As Annoying As It Is Stupid. I Have NEVER Seen A Character So In Your Face With His Personality Outside Austin Powers...& I LIKE Those Movies.The Only Joke That Made Me Laugh Is The Horny Bird But That Was Too Early In The Piece For Anything. Everything Else Is Like A Night At A Crappy Comedy Club.The Acting Is Too Wooden For Anyone To Care About Anything Or For The Jokes To Be...You Know...Funny.The Character Development Is Like Caring For A Bunch Of Extra's That Get Killed In A Bomb Explosion In An Action Movie.The Dialogue Has Already Been Assessed.I Only Like One Other Film That Has This Rating And That Is "Leigion". As Far As Other Comedies Go If You Liked "Deuce Bigalow European Gigilo", "You Don't Mess With The Zohan" & "Vampires Kiss" Where There Are No Jokes Then Go Ahead.Also I Find It Repetitive How In These Movies Rob Schneider Plays A Minor Character Saying The Words "You Can Do It" In Them. That Joke Is Way Too Old

At the risk of being ridiculed for eternity, I'm going to confess to finding this movie extremely entertaining. So much so, I bought it and watch it every once in a while. Simple story; the devil's (Keitel) introverted son Nicky (Sandler) must ascend to earth in order to defeat his evil brother (Ifans) whose efforts to bring about the rapture are causing Keitel to gradually decompose. Whilst on earth, Nicky falls in love with his antithesis, a bookish good Samaritan Valerie (Arquette) but has trouble adjusting to the concept of mortality.He shares a house with frequent Sandler collaborator Allen Covert whilst being pursued by a couple of crazy demon worshipers and partnered with a randy mutt called Mr Beefy, sensationally voiced by Robert Smigel. In one wild night on the weed, the motley crew listen to "Chicago" songs backward, while Nicky regales the mortals with his head-twisting feats. Sandler is over the top with his crazed persona, but still hilarious. Rodney Dangerfield also appears in one his last films as Nicky's foul-mouthed grandfather, while Reece Witherspoon makes an unexpected cameo appearance as his angelic mother.I know a lot of people who've seen this movie don't rate it, but I've always found it - in context - a highly entertaining romp squarely aimed at the adolescent, young adult market and an ideal video accompaniment to a beer and pizza evening.

Look, I'm a Sandler fan. If that's for my sins then so be it. I own about three quarters of his output on DVD and have been known to debate vociferously about the benefits of The Wedding Singer & 50 First Dates, but Little Nicky is painfully bad. Badly written by Sandler, Tim Herlihy & Steven Brill, with the latter directing with a blunt sabre, Little Nicky relies purely on stupid crass jokes for its worth and forgets to put any semblance of a heart in its mix. It does try with its odd and underwritten romance sub-plot {featuring a bemused Patricia Arquette}, but the whole thing exists purely to make stoner's and air heads laugh. It actually looks real nice in HD, and the soundtrack is pretty rocking. While the number of star cameos makes for an interesting {bemusing in a why? sort of way} viewing. But this really is only for those who think that toilet waste and talking dogs are the highest forms of conceptual comedy. The most evil question of all in a film about Satan and his offspring? Is how in the hell did the likes of Harvey Keitel {stepping in after AC/DC axeman Angus Young dropped out} ever agree to be a part of this dirge?Straight to hell boys, all of you. 3/10
