Profile of Little Nicky

The mood of Little Nicky is offbeat and humorous. The plot centers around a "fish out of water", misfits, and disorder. It features campy humor and silly humor. Little Nicky is a comedy and fantasy movie. In approach, it is not serious and fantastical. The setting is New York. The musical score of Little Nicky is heavy metal. It is especially suggested for teens and a date night.

Summary of Little Nicky

Continuing in the tradition of his hits THE WATERBOY and HAPPY GILMORE, Adam Sandler stars in LITTLE NICKY, a supernatural comedy about Satan's geekiest son. Nicky (Sandler) is relieved when his father (Harvey Keitel) decides to continue as ruler of the underworld for another 10,000 years instead of picking one of his bullying brothers, Adrian (Rhys Ifans) or Cassius (Tom "Tiny" Lister), to reign. Adrian and Cassius, hungry for power, decide to travel to New York City in order to spread Hell on Earth. Only Nicky can stop them and save his father--and the world--from his brothers' evil schemes. But Nicky has no idea what to expect from New York City, and he has to deal with new activities such as eating, sleeping, and meeting a new girlfriend, Valerie (Patricia Arquette). His friends Mr. Beefy, a talking bulldog, and John and Peter, a pair of hardcore heavy metal fans, try to help Nicky stand up for himself and eventually save the universe. LITTLE NICKY features a cast of regulars from other Adam Sandler movies, plus a hilariously bizarre sense of humor that allows all sorts of odd and twisted things to happen.

Critics Reviews

Variety
Sandler turns the joke around on his detractors and manages to lead a devilishly energetic vehicle that contains about as many laughs as his previous features combined.
The New York Times
It's a clever idea bogged down in sophomoric sloppiness. Sitting through it doesn't feel like eternal damnation, but it's not exactly heaven, either. It's a $9.50 tour of adolescent purgatory.

Users Reviews

I'm a huge Sandler fan, so this movie almost pained me to watch. It has a few funny moments, but could have been so much better. It's like slap stick comedy, with everyone trying to be the lead comedian. Where's the straight man when you need him?
