Storyline

Adam Sandler invites you to share some holiday cheer in the new, no-holds-barred musical comedy Adam Sandler's 8 Crazy Nights. Davey Stone, a 33-year old party animal, finds himself in trouble with the law after his wild ways go too far. In keeping with the holiday spirit, the judge gives Davey one last chance at redemption-spend the holiday performing community service as the assistant referee for the youth basketball league or go to jail. Davey thinks he's gotten off easy until he meets Whitey Duvall, the eccentric, elf-like head referee. The mismatch between Whitey's good heart and never-ending optimism and Davey's constant troublemaking soon have them both wondering if going to jail wouldn't have been easier! In this new, full-length animated feature about basketball, old girlfriends, holiday spirits, and the mall, Adam Sandler voices the three lead characters of Whitey, Davey, and Whitey's fraternal twin sister Eleanore!

User Reviews

Now Here's a Funny Holiday Movie!

I wanted to watch this movie in the past because I am a big fan of Adam Sandler and I love all his movies and his gross-out humor. Let me tell you now that this movie is 100% gross-out humor. If you're not a big fan of that, you'll hate this. But, this movie has gotten so many negative reviews. But, I finally saw this movie and I really liked it.

Adam Sandler plays 30-year-old Davey. His life goal is to make everyone in his town miserable as possible. But he finally gets caught and was sentenced to community service as an assistant basketball referee under Whitey whom has been there for ages.

My favorite character is Whitey. His voice sounds so childish but hilarious. I felt like Davey needs a nice kick in the behind. I felt sympathetic for Whitey.

Overall, this is a really funny musical. My favorite song is Chanukah Song Part Three. I can't see why this movie has gotten so many negative reviews. I rate this film 9/10.
