3. Eight Crazy Nights (2002) A cartoon musical focussing on the Hanukkah season but for adults. It's already a recipe for disaster but Sandler still continued on his quest, making mediocre after mediocre movie. You'd think it could have been made into a sympathetic look at the themes of Hanukkah but no, the film touched upon such subjects as sex and alcoholism. Cinema gold. Sandler provides the voice and aesthetic basis for his character, Davey, a down and out living in a small US town. Over the eight days of Hanukkah he winds up in trouble and subsequent reforms owing to the generosity of others around him. You've probably already guessed, but it was not well received. Whilst critics commented on the importance of showing a variety of religious festivities around the season traditionally associated with Christmas, they were underwhelmed by the film. Emma Cochrane (Empire) wrote: "It's about time that all the Christmas movies out there were balanced with a decent Hannukah movie. Sadly, this isn't it." Whilst Peter Bradshaw (Guardian) summed the film up nicely as the "worst animation of the year." Read The Movie Review For Eight Crazy Nights. More: Grown Ups (And Grown Ups 2)
