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!

Whitey: Eleanore, that's Davey Stone, my new partner.

Eight Crazy Nights

Eight Crazy nights is a big mistake in Adam Sandler's career. I never saw the preview for it in theaters, but i when i heard the word animated i automatically thought,STUPID! But since i love to critisize movie i rented it the second day it came out. I thought the music was very entertaining, but the plot was a mix of basketball coaching and dead parent and winning and anual patch. (no sense at all right?) but it all twists together in an idiotic way that Happy Madison should not have brought up. All I'm saying is that it is a good movie to laugh about with your friends but if you're sitting at home watching this by yourself, you won't like it. If you've already seen it and like it, buy the soundtrack. I got it burned buy a friend and when you buy it i think you kids will enjoy 1, 7 and 8 the most. Love, Nick
