	Little Nicky (2000): Reviews
		The film's rhythm is jerky, bouncing all around the place and making some of the setups feel unnecessary.
		Little Nicky will redefine the phrase "worst movie ever," because it might actually be the worst movie ever.
		Little Nicky is a wonderful video with a lot of great actors.

	Little Nicky (film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

	DVD Review - Little Nicky (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		This is his most bizarre film since "Billy Madison", and that may explain why the film died at the box office.
		After Nicky learns to stay on the sidewalk, and is introduced to Earthly cuisine, he moves into an apartment with aspiring actor, Tood (Allen Covert).
		The music in "Little Nicky" is mostly of the rap-metal hybrid variety and it sounds great, offering no distortion, but packing plenty of bass.

	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.

	LIGHT VIEWS FILM REVIEW: LITTLE NICKY (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		"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.

	Movie Spoiler for the film - LITTLE NICKY
		Nicky is a little slow and has speech impediment caused by a shovel to the head from one of his brothers.
		Unfortunately, Adrian discovers Nicky on earth and forces Nicky to say mean and rude things to Valerie and she leaves.
		Nicky tells him it's from his magic elixir and the ref (Cassius) takes a drink and disappears into the flask.

	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.

	Reel Criticism - Little Nicky (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		The story behind Nicky is a simple one and revolves around the young dullard son of the Devil named Nicky.
		Nicky is good hearted and seems to actually care about people but that is about where the insight into his character ends because likely there is no more.
		For the film, in my opinion, to have worked there would have to have been a sense of urgency as we rooted for Nicky to make it in the end.

	DVD REVIEW: "LITTLE NICKY"
		As the ex-"Saturday Night Live" performer and star of films such as "Big Daddy," "The Waterboy" and "The Wedding Singer" has readily stated about himself, he's not particularly handsome or in the same acting league as his honored cohorts, and his films will never be confused with being Oscar contenders.
		A scene where Sandler, the pooch and others sit around stoned will probably be one of the film's highlights for the target audience, but enough other amusing moments are present to entertain those who manage to lower their standards to see films like this.
		Had the film been fortunate enough to be blessed with the presence of someone like Tim Burton ("Beetlejuice," "Edward Scissorhands") and his wildly imaginative and macabre sense of comedy, it might actually have been rather good.

	Little Nicky (2000): Adam Sandler, Patricia Arquette, Rhys Ifans, Harvey Keitel - PopMatters Film Review
		Nicky, odd as it seems, is remarkably true to the popular image Sandler has cultivated in his previous films.
		Nicky, of course, is the only one who can return his brothers to Hell, an event which will in turn piece his father back together.
		Beefy and the metalheads, Nicky falls in love with the bespectacled misfit and tries awkwardly to win her affections with such heart-melting one-liners as, "Your eyes are big and sparkly.

	"Little Nicky" / a review from Christian Spotlight on the Movies
		Little Nicky is surely not for everyone, but I did not find it particularly offensive.
		The film is a comedy about Heaven and Hell, not a serious work of art, whose message is meant to be offensive or to be taken personally.
		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.

	Little Nicky . -A Hollywood Jesus Movie Review
		Adam Sandler is Little Nicky, a shy and awkward guy with a penchant for heavy metal music and two bullies for older brothers.
		Little Nicky is the son of the Devil and lives in Hell.
		Nicky is typical of "savior" and prophet types -they are always rejected by those whom they try to help.

	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.

	Orlando Weekly - Film Review - Little Nicky
		Sandler's Little Nicky is the son of an angel (Reese Witherspoon in the movie's best casting) and Satan himself (Harvey Keitel, a close runner-up).
		In a purely commercial context, "Little Nicky" proves that Sandler is keeping a careful eye on his competitors in the gross-out arena, the Farrelly Brothers.
		Regardless of its time-honored dramatic milieu, "Little Nicky" seems pleased as peas to be sassy, profane and dumb.

	Amazon.co.uk: Little Nicky [2000]: DVD: Adam Sandler,Patricia Arquette,Harvey Keitel,Rhys Ifans,Tommy 'Tiny' ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		This film certainly isn't for everyone-but if like me you have a very unusual and (dare I say it?) slightly warped sense of humour it is a very good film.
		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.
		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's two scheming older brothers (well played by Rhys Ifans and Tommy Lister) are irate and decide to take matters into their own hands.
		Nicky is entrusted with the job of bringing back his brothers and saving his father.
		Whether subtly for background noises, for the frequent slices of music found throughout the film or for the fiery scenes from Hell, the surrounds were being utilized almost all of the time.

	Little Nicky
		That said, Little Nicky is actually surprising (for one of his movies).
		There are probably three genuinely funny moments in the film, but it's hard to distinguish whether they are actually funny or funny relative to the rest of the humor in the film.
		Little Nicky is essentially a film that knows its core audience and directs everything exactly at them.

	MMI Movie Review: Little Nicky
		Basically, "Little Nicky" shows what Saturday Night Live could do if it wasn't live: stretch premises and characters to an hour and forty minutes, get some laughs from higher production values, and improve the hit and miss ratio of its bits by a modest percentage.
		The film is stocked with SNL alumni, though most are tossed only the leanest of scraps.
		Adam Sandler and "Little Nicky" are made for the malls and the multiplexes.

	SCREEN IT! ARTISTIC REVIEW: LITTLE NICKY
		All of which leads to Sandler's latest film, "Little Nicky." Another high concept, lowest common denominator film, this picture further cements the belief that Sandler must have previously made some sort of pact with the Devil.
		While the film obviously stands a far better chance of succeeding at the box office than does a snowball in Hell, one of these days the Devil's going to call Sandler on their contract and his inexplicable ride of stardom and success will be over.
		Certainly not the worst film of the year but clearly far, far, far away from being good or even Sandler's best, "Little Nicky" rates as a 3.5 out of 10.

	Little Nicky : filmcritic.com Movie Review
		Little Nicky (Adam Sandler) is the devil’s third—-and least impressive-—son.
		Now little Nicky must face his fears and unleash the evil within himself to save his father, and the world, from certain doom.
		As Nicky dons his hellish robes to greet his father, the robe itself is comedy, covered in heavy metal patches for Pantera, Iron Maiden, and the like.

	LITTLE NICKY movie review (with photos and clips where possible)
		That would be well short of the films that catapulted Sandler into Hollywood's highest tax bracket.
		"Nicky" is the first film to ensure the actor a payday in the $20 million range.
		""Little Nicky" is entering a marketplace that is a little more crowded than "The Waterboy" did, which opened the same time of year in 1998," he says.

		Nicky (Adam Sandler) is the youngest of Satan's (Harvey Keitel) kids and is constantly picked on by his brothers (Tiny Lister and Rhys Ifans).
		Poor, unprepared Nicky has to harness his evil side to match wits with his brothers and restore peace to the Earth.
		There are quite a few digital effects shots in the film, but when it comes to the home theatre presentation, they all make the grade.

	Little Nicky (cat) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Little Nicky (born October 17, 2004) is the first commercially-produced cat clone.
		He was produced from the DNA of a 17-year-old cat named Nicky who died in 2003.
		Little Nicky's owner, a north Texas woman named Julie (her last name was not released) who paid $50,000 to have Nicky cloned, claimed that Little Nicky's behavior is similar to that of her late cat Nicky, including an unusual liking for water.

	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.

	JoBlo reviews the movie "Little Nicky"
		I personally enjoy most of his films and his persona, and would rate this film as one of his more ambitious endeavors, but far from his most entertaining.
		But unlike all of his other films, this one focuses much more on the special effects, which is why it might have lacked more of the big laugh-out scenes.
		Another aspect of the film which others may not like as much as I did, is the soundtrack, which was filled, and I mean filled with heavy tunes.
