The film's [directorial] crudity is ultimately an unbearable drag on its joviality. full review

A.O. Scott, The New York Times
This vulgar stoner comedy about an underachieving, over-age video-game tester cheerfully invites the audience to descend to a level where no joke is too silly or raunchy.

September 20, 2008When I think of 8 Crazy Nights, I don't think of quality.
Grandma's boy rocks!!!! -
November 30, 2006Yes, Adam Sandler also produced The Benchwarmers, Duece Bigalow 2, and 8 Crazy Nights. Quality is the word I think of when those films come to mind.
