Review of Little Nicky

I've seen this movie a few times. Why, I can't say for sure. Maybe because I enjoyed the music. Maybe because I was trying to figure out why the hell(pun intended) people said it was funny. Maybe I was looking for what it is people rave about with all Adam Sandler films; I guess I just couldn't really come to terms with the simple fact that this is not good entertainment. It's not even bad entertainment. Heck, I don't think it can be classified as 'entertainment', period. The film has so many flaws that even the most anal-retentive viewers finally tire off counting them. Early in the film, two of Satan's sons decide to go up on earth, upon learning that neither of them will be the devil in the next 10.000 years. What I'm wondering is, did this never happen before? Didn't they even consider the possibility of it? Satan is the epitome of all things evil, wouldn't he be smart enough to know that his own sons might pull a fast one like that? The plot has more holes than Swiss cheese. The acting is about as flat as a pancake that has been run over by several trucks. The characters are cardboard cutouts who spout cliché lines. The humor is juvenile, consisting of lame slapstick and childish gross-out comedy. The script seems like it could have been written by a child, which is no surprise, seeing as how Sandler penned some of it himself. You want a good laugh? See a good comedy. You want to spend the 90 minutes of your life you might waste on this movie wisely? Go watch a good movie. Or even one that is slightly better than this. Won't be hard to find. Simply put: You want entertainment? Look elsewhere. I recommend this only to hardcore Adam Sandler fans, as no one else could possibly enjoy it. 1/10
