Festive cartoon fun gets an adult flavour in this ill-conceived musical comedy. An inane combination of bad-taste humour, flat animation and puerile songs, it's little more than a crude vanity project for Adam Sandler. Co-writer/producer Sandler also voices the film's central characters — law-breaking, party animal Davey Stone; eccentric youth-basketball referee Whitey, and Whitey's wig-wearing twin Eleanore. Escaping a yuletide prison sentence, Davey gets one last shot at redemption by performing community service as Whitey's assistant. What follows is a boorish Christmas Carol, as Davey is reminded of the sentiments of the holiday season. Had as much attention been paid to innovation as vulgarity, then perhaps this tale would actually have been as hilarious as Sandler and company wanted it to be. Instead, it's merely a torrent of scatological gags and juvenile sexual innuendo.

"...Lively, bittersweet....[The film] works well and is sure to connect strongly with fans of Sandler at his most free-wheeling and uninhibited..."

Not his usual style
Fans of Adam Sandler movies will see a significant down side to his usual style of comedy.
Not at all up to his usual standard.
The change started with Anger Management, but that was hilarious compared to this.
I defy anybody not to get really wound up with the stupid character/voice of his pal whitey. -

A classic that will live on forever
I was a bit sceptical to say the least about seeing Adam Sandler in an animated motion picture, but after seeing eight crazy nights I'm never gonna look back.
Now looking at the film you might think oh no not another christmas carol remake, but as the plot is somewhat similar it is totally put an original and fresh spin on what is already decaying story line. It's nice to see Adam Sandler expanding his mediums whether it be from his films to his "different" style of music. In all this film touched me and this film should be in everyones home! -
