Little Nicky (2000)

EW's GRADE
B-

Details Release Date: Nov 10, 2000; Rated: PG-13; Length: 84 Minutes; Genre: Comedy; With: Adam Sandler; Distributor: New Line Cinema

Even the most devoted Adam-ites will find little to defend in this clunky supernatural comedy, which pits speech-impaired, son-of-the-devil Sandler against his hell-raising brothers. Misfired gags and astonishingly lackluster special effects abound, and Little Nicky's concluding feel-good ''moral'' is the cinematic equivalent of a blazing pitchfork jabbed at your rear.
