Little Nicky

Adam Sandler, Patricia Arquette, Carl Weathers

Little Nicky is the son of Satan. Satan wants to retire, but none of his sons are good enough for the job. There's Cassius, who's big and strong, but lacks the 'goodness' to make the job real. There's...( read more  read more... ) Adrian, who while really hot (no pun intended) and smart, has no goodness at all. Then there's Nicky [Sandler] who, while having good, lacks any evil whatsoever. As seen in the previews, he is told to release his evil. He needs to release it to save his dad. Cassius and Adrain leave Hell, thereby freezing the wall of fire that lets the damned souls into Hell. Since no souls can come in now, Satan starts to die. It's up to Little Nicky to go and get his brothers, putting them into a flask and bringing them back to Hell at the exact same time to save Satan from decomposition. If Nicky 'dies' on Earth, he will be able to get through the frozen wall and back up to Earth. The catch is that he has only a week, and that Adrian and Cassius are MUCH more powerful than he is.

    The youngest child of the family often has the most problems -- so why should things be different for the Prince of Darkness and his offspring? Satan (Harvey Keitel) is considering retirement,... ...( read more )

    Not bad idea, but lousy (really, really) execution.

    Quite possibly the most annoying film I have ever seen. Adam Sandler sets my teeth on edge as it is but Little Nicky made me want to poke my eyes out and stick them in my ears!

    Nicky, the only good-hearted son of Satan, goes on a quest to save his father from his evil brothers, Adrian and Cassius. On the way, he learns the basic differences between Earth and Hell (after dying several times), discovers what love is, and acquires a certain fondness for Po... ...( read more )

    Sandler is on great form as one of the Devil's son Nicky, trying to get his brother back to hell. Laugh-out-loud a minute and loads of speical cameo's makes this a crude but funny film and must have been enjoyable to make.

Where's Sandler in all this? Lost in gimmicks that smack of desperation. full review

A.O. Scott, The New York Times

It's a clever idea bogged down in sophomoric sloppiness. full review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

I can see how Little Nicky could have worked, It's just that Sandler, at the center, is a distraction. full review

    "...Sure. Why not?"
