Ensofter Overrated and overhyped
Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible
Ogosmith Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
RoxasVSAqua Little Nicky is the story of the son of an angel and "the" devil. It is not a smart comedy but it is hilarious and a good time. Just hang back and enjoy. It is definitely funny and the cameo's make it worth it. Stars like Ozzy and a good sh*t-ton of heavy metal music make for a good time. If you have some portion of morbid humor and like some heavy metal, I'd say bring some friends over and have a good time.
tankace Little Nicky is for me the starting point of Adam Sandler decline from a good comedic actor of Happy Gilmore and Bill Madison to the laughing pariah of today. Although he gave more good and funny performances this one is ,in my point of view the first sign that he was starting to lose his tough ,which became the norm with the Grown Ups film thirteen years later! What when so wrong? For real the story of the film sound absurdly funny and the idea of God and Satan being a couple ,is a great twist to the ideals of the faith ,but the characters still have the basic characteristics in order to be recognizable. In general Sandler plays Satan's son ,who lives in out world for he lacked the elements to be a worthy successor to his father's throne and he fall in love with the daughter of God and during this crazy story his brother wants to overthrow their father in order to conquer all of creation!?OK the story is bat-sh**t-crazy and even as a kid I though is to stupid even for an elementary level brain. But the true problem of the film aren't the characters for many of them are funny and you can get their way of thinking and goal. The sidekick dog ,the evil Brother, the angels and demons, which two of the become a couple and the two lords of Heaven and Hell are funny characters .But the problem the story don't make sense, the effects are bad and painful to watch and finally the main problem the dialogue!For real the latter makes me want to vomit from my ears for is idiotic to a point that Joel Schumacher (the director) would come and say "Man this is too much for me!!". In short a passable comedy became a bad flick due to the incompetence of the writers to writer decent dialogues!! And Sandler performance didn't help either for he was the stereotypical nerd ,who gains respect and now his like a regular man!! F** to very movie that show this type of story!In short this is a bad movie ,but at least if you take some drunk you can get it thrown ,unlike its adversary in the Razzies in 2000, Battlefield Earth for this movie is a crime against humanity!
Python Hyena Little Nicky (2000): Dir: Steven Brill / Cast: Adam Sandler, Patricia Arquette, Harvey Keitel, Rodney Dangerfield, Quentin Tarantino: Dreadful comedy that seems to glorify hell. Harvey Keitel plays Satan in what can best described as sheer desperation. When his duties are not passed down so Nicky's brothers escape to earth. Now the gate is blocked and without new souls Satan is left to deteriorate. Legal drinking age is now ten. New York's new theme is "I love hookers!" The big quote is, "Let the sin begin." An angel states that God is "Jeopardy smart." Even Hitler is seen getting a pineapple shoved up his anal track. Vulgar piece of filth that attacks Christianity. It is a twisted bag of puke with lackluster direction by Steven Brill. Adam Sandler is terrible as Nicky with that nasal sound to his voice. Keitel plays Satan who is presented as a kindly father figure as oppose to the father of lies. Patricia Arguette is suppose to be the kind soul who sympathizes with Nicky as oppose to seeing him for what he really is. Rodney Dangerfield plays Lucifer one-liners and all, which isn't exactly a stretch. Quentin Tarantino proves with this appearance that his talent is best served behind the camera. Christianity is a touchy subject when it comes to humour, while Satanism is rarely ever taken seriously. This film isn't funny but rather a disgusting mess that should be burned. Score: 1 / 10
Lars Hendrikx Going into this movie after I had already seen several movies with Adam Sandler in them that day, I had expectations of this one being a decent movie. I was proved wrong.Just like in Billy Madison, the character Adam Sandler plays has a voice that gets annoying very fast. On top of that, his character in this has a problem with speaking because he got hit by a shovel, which by itself is already a reason to doubt this movie.The story itself is quite poor. Nicky's two brothers escape hell,where Nicky and his family (mum excluded) live, causing the fiery gate to hell to freeze. Nicky is send to earth with a flask from which his brothers have to drink from so Nick can take them back to hell.There is a scene where Nicky drops by the house of a woman he met recently on Earth and who he flipped off (under possession by his brother). She uses pepper-spray on him, causing him to fall. He does not die though, because when he gets close to the ground his fall is stopped and he floats. He flies back up and explains who he is to her. The woman , who was flipped off, spoken to in a devilish voice and sees Nicky fall down and floating/flying after she pepper-sprayed him (implying she is frightened by him) then suddenly accepts him. Oh, so you're the Devil's son? Well, that makes sense, lets be a couple.Although I didn't like this movie, I didn't give it a 1. I haven't because it has some funny moments (The Chicago record with the dark message and Ozzy Osbourne. I also liked the reference to Happy Gilmore close to the end of the movie.
