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
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
