Critic Reviews

  • , Atlanta Journal-Constitution

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

  • Rick Groen, Globe and Mail

    It would be hyperbole to argue that the road to movie hell is entirely paved with Adam Sandler's crude intentions -- but the guy sure has made a heck of a start.

  • Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

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

  • Jay Carr, Boston Globe

    It never quite lights a fire under its subject matter.

  • Joe Baltake, Sacramento Bee

    A mind-boggling mess.

    Adam Sandler plays the son of Satan and even though it is portrayed very dumb, it has it;s moments where you can crack up. It's not a great film, but it makes me laugh a lot.
