Erik Lundegaard, Seattle Times: Read more

Ebert & Roeper: Read more

Susan Stark, Detroit News: Read more

Tom Maurstad, Dallas Morning News: Way too often (so as to seem all the time), Little Nicky's loose style reclines into flat-out laziness. Read more

A.O. Scott, New York Times: It's a clever idea bogged down in sophomoric sloppiness. Read more

Atlanta Journal-Constitution: Has an enormous cast of stars, including Harvey Keitel as daddy devil. But even the stars couldn't brighten up this flick. Read more

Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times: A deeply unfunny fantasy comedy. Read more

Eric Harrison, Houston Chronicle: It is superlative in its dreadfulness. Read more

Paul Tatara, CNN.com: The nonexistent laughs just keep on coming. Read more

Steven Rosen, Denver Post: So aggressively juvenile -- make that infantile -- that I feel I should be scrawling this review in crayon. Read more

Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly: There are laughs to be had, yet the movie is, if anything, more strenuous than it is funny. Read more

Rick Groen, Globe and Mail: It would be hyperbole to argue that the road to movie hell is entirely paved with Adam Sandler's crude intentions -- but the guy sure has made a heck of a start. Read more

Gene Seymour, Newsday: Though it's an improvement over Big Daddy, it's still not as consistently lowbrow funny as Happy Gilmore. Read more

James Berardinelli, ReelViews: I can enjoy a dumb, raunchy comedy as much as the next classless viewer. But it has to be funny, and Little Nicky isn't. Read more

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times: I can see how Little Nicky could have worked, It's just that Sandler, at the center, is a distraction. Read more

Charles Taylor, Salon.com: The movie doesn't have one genuine moment of imagination, good timing or comic inspiration. Read more

Bob Graham, San Francisco Chronicle: A few more laughs wouldn't have hurt. Read more

Robert Koehler, Variety: A devilishly energetic vehicle that contains about as many laughs as his previous features combined. Read more

Desson Thomson, Washington Post: The story plods along, punctuated by gags that are more silly than inventive. Read more
