  'Little Nicky'
His brothers call him "Daddy's little girl" and "shovel face," the second name a reference to the caved-in face and speech impediment he's had since being beaten with a shovel by his evil brother Cassius.
If Nicky can capture his brothers inside a magic flask and bring them back to Hell, his dad and, more importantly, the universe are saved.
If Nicky fails, his father's throne would fall to either Adrian or Cassius, either of whom would prove a more destructive force in the age-old War on Good than Satan, played with a goofy, benevolent charm by a goat-bearded Harvey Keitel.

 Cinema Confidential Review: Little Nicky (2000)
In his latest endeavor, "Little Nicky," you can expect the blaring classic and contemporary rock songs to pop up in the soundtrack, the quirky, eccentric supporting characters to randomly enter various scenes, and the supposed moments of sentimentality to obscure the line between authenticity and total self-mockery.
Nicky has to bring his two brothers back to hell from earth in order to restore the balance between good and evil and re-empower his father.
Little Nicky doesn't shatter comedic boundaries or even present us with anything particularly new, but it does innovate upon a familiar comedic routine, bringing it back from the slumps with revitalized humor.

 Little Nicky: Platinum Series (2000)
I didn’t see Nicky theatrically, but don’t blame me for the decline: I also never took in BD until it hit video, and that flick did well without me. Were it not for the success of the 1999 hit, it’d be easier to explain the failure of Nicky.
Nonetheless, Little Nicky was a generally unsatisfying film that stands as a weak entry in Adam Sandler’s résumé.
Little Nicky wasn’t a terrible film, but it failed to convey the talents of star Adam Sandler and his fine supporting cast well; it intermittently provided some wit and entertainment, but most of the flick lacked charm or flair.

Based on the hit film, Ubisoft's Little Nicky lets you assume the role of Satan's son through 24 levels of hellacious action-platforming excitement.
Little Nicky is a game with a great deal of promise that is marred by an execution that falls horribly flat.
The other thing worth mentioning about Little Nicky is how positively lewd the game is. This is the first Game Boy Color game to incorporate peeping toms, crippled veterans, transvestites, and urinating hooligans as actual gameplay devices.

 LIGHT VIEWS FILM REVIEW: LITTLE NICKY   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
"Little Nicky" is a major misstep for star-writer Adam Sandler, a big-budget mess that is painfully unfunny.
"Little Nicky" feels like payback, but not in the sense that the filmmakers were getting even at the audiences who brought them this far.
Nicky is sent by his father (Harvey Keitel) and grandfather (Rodney Dangerfield) to Earth to bring them back, a daunting task for an innocent in a strange land.

 "Little Nicky" / a review from Christian Spotlight on the Movies
For reasons unexplained, this defiant move locks the gates of Hell and causes Nicky's dad to begin deteriorating limb by limb until all that is left is his mouth and arms.
Little Nicky is surely not for everyone, but I did not find it particularly offensive.
What little humor I could glean from this film not already seen in the commercials was so small and so insignificant, that laughing at it was not an option.

 SPLICEDwire | "Little Nicky" review (2000)
Having now seen "Little Nicky," in which Adam Sandler plays the retarded son of Satan, I have formulated a hypothesis I'm calling the Sandler Theory of Exponentially Obnoxious Returns.
His most detestable character to date had been "The Waterboy," but that Southern-fried dope was mister congeniality compared to Nicky, the little devil that couldn't.
Nicky takes on his evil siblings with new powers of good he's learned from his mom -- an angel, it turns out -- and the rest you can guess because this movie couldn't have been any more simplistic if it had been written in Crayon by a second-grader.

 LITTLE NICKY
Nicky is no bad ass, especially compared to his two older brothers, Adrian (Rhys Ifans, The Replacements) and Cassius (Tiny Lister Jr., Next Friday).
The gist of Nicky goes a little something like this: Satan is retiring and needs to appoint one of his three sons to rule Hell for the next 10,000 years.
Nicky is also full of some wonderful cameo appearances from the likes of Rodney Dangerfield, Reese Witherspoon, Ozzy Osbourne, Quentin Tarantino, Dan Marino and a slew of former Saturday Night Live stars including Dana Carvey, Kevin Nealon, Robert Smigel, Michael McKean, Jon Lovitz and Rob Schneider — and that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

While it has to be said that 'Little Nicky' is certainly not Adam Sandler's greatest ever movie, with quite a strange storyline (which however does work well), and at times some very chessy jokes, however it isn't his worst, and some of the jokes which are quite funny, make for a quite enjoyable little film.
It is the 10,000th year of the current Satan's ruling, and it is time for him to retire, meaning that one of his three sons must take over from him, however much to their discust, Satan decides to continue his reign for a while longer.
Equipted with a metal flask to trap them in, Nicky goes to earth and with the help of his friend, a talking dog, learns to unleash the evil in him that is just waiting to come out.

 Little Nicky (2000)
Nicky, who just wants to be good, battles his evil brothers while falling for a lovely mortal.
With the release of Little Nicky last year, Adam Sandler finally got a taste of what all successful Saturday Night Live alumni find themselves exposed to sooner or later: a backlash.
But upon arriving on the mortal plane, Nicky finds that there is a lot to learn in order to survive in big bad New York City (such basic notions as eating and sleeping not being necessary in the underworld).

 Little Nicky film review
Fearful for his father, Nicky agrees to venture into the mortal realm and bring back his rebellious siblings within the allotted seven days, imprisoning them inside an enchanted silver whisky flask.
He shoehorns various celebrity cameos into Nicky's adventure - Quentin Tarantino as an accident-prone blind preacher, Rodney Dangerfield as grandfather Satan - but they are just a gimmick to distract us from the unholy mess that is the screenplay.
Nicky's speech impediment and squeaky voice grate very quickly, and his exaggerated centre-parted haircut makes you yearn for a pair of very sharp scissors.

 TheMovieBoy Review: Little Nicky (2000)
"Little Nicky," directed by Steven Brill, falls into the latter, lesser category, as his title character walks with a hunched-over back, has a crooked mouth, and, yes, a speech impediment.
Although he has a wonderful relationship with his father, the Devil (Harvey Keitel), Little Nicky (Adam Sandler) is a sweet, good-natured soul who doesn't seem to have much of the dark side in him, despite living in hell.
Aside from the whole Heaven and Hell angle, "Little Nicky" is nearly a carbon copy, in terms of plot developments and stock characters, of all of Sandler's starring-role filmography.

"Little Nicky" is the story of Nicky (Sandler), the youngest of three sons of the devil himself.

 DVD REVIEW: "LITTLE NICKY"
All of which leads to Sandler's latest film, "Little Nicky," another high concept, lowest common denominator film that's more often stupid and poorly made rather than funny or inspired.
Beyond that, running gags of Nicky saying where he's from (the "deep" South), Hitler's proctological penance in Hell, and material regarding the male gatekeeper of Hell having realistic looking, bare female breasts on his head all get old rather quickly.

Then there is Nicky (Adam Sandler), a mealy mouthed head-banger who has an unexplainable streak of decency in him.
It is his hope that his father will continue to reign, as he has no stomach for the job and he knows his two brothers would end up making life his life hell if they become king.
Nicky must go to earth and return the souls of his brothers to hell before daddy melts.

 DVD.net : Little Nicky - DVD Review
Occasionally Little Nicky definitely crosses that line - breasts growing from heads, pineapples being stuck up a posterior (although the recipient deserves absolutely no sympathy whatsoever) and children crying out for "beer and bitches", however generally it sticks nicely to the aforementioned line and grosses out without grossing out too much.
Generally they are puerile and more often than not quite base, however unlike many of his contemporaries he has this skill for keeping a shred of humanity and often even genuine pathos in his work that can make them appeal to more than just the spotty teenage bong-sucking members of our society.
Little Nicky follows Sandler's formula pretty much to the letter, so whilst certainly not his greatest work if you dig his previous stuff you're sure to get off on this.

 JR.com: Little Nicky (2000) - DVD in Movies: Comedies:
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.
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).
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.

 Little Nicky
As Nicky, the dweeby youngest offspring of Satan, Sandler almost goes out of his way to put off non-Sandlerites: speaking in a croaking voice that's a cross between childish and child-molester, wearing his hair in two greasy fl points across his face, he's hard to look at and listen to.
Nicky lands in Manhattan, a place full of eccentrics, including two goofy headbangers, wannabe actor Allen Covert (a Sandler pal), and manic blind street preacher Quentin Tarantino.

 Little Nicky starring Adam Sandler Movie Review on AudioRevolution.com
The comment about Nicky’s mixed parentage would come under the heading of unforgivable spoiler (we don’t find out about Mom until the third act) if it wasn’t prominent in the film’s advertising.
Nicky, of course, adores Van Halen’s "Running With the Devil," which blasts along slammingly in the mix, as does AC/DC’s rip-roaring "Highway to Hell." Ozzy Osborne’s "Mama, I’m Coming Home" and "No More Tears" turn up effectively, with Ozzy himself amusingly appearing onscreen as a supernatural force in his own right.
In defense of ‘Little Nicky,’ it should be noted that many Sandler fans seem to love the film unconditionally.
