Little Nicky (2000)

What the ****?!
27 May 2009
Let me just tell you the plot while I drown my sorrows: The son of Satan (played by Adam Sandler) is sent by his father to New York City in order to retrieve his two trouble-making brothers. While doing so, he makes friends, meets his mother and saves the planet.

Where do I begin? Well, this piece of garbage is utterly HORRIBLE. It has no funny moments, Sandler makes a complete fool of himself and they even take the time to rip off Sandler's masterpiece "Happy Gilmore" in an admittedly clever cameo by Carl Weathers.

But the biggest sin of all is the wasted and I do mean WASTED all-star cast that includes everyone from Ozzy Osbourne to Rodney Dangerfield. How in the world did anyone associated with the making of this bomb think that this would be funny, let alone watchable? Sandler is a good actor although I do consider him an acquired tastes and this is definitely not his finest hour. Another problem is that the film looks incredibly ugly. The set design looks like the love den of a Ridley Scott/Tim Burton enthusiast. You also know your in trouble when every single character is ugly and stupid.

I want you to consider this a PSA in addition to a review: avoid this stinker at all costs. You have been warned.
