Few mainstream comedies are as repulsive as “Little Nicky”. A lot of the film is about Hell and watching this film certainly feels like a trip to the underworld. It seems as though Adam Sandler (“Billy Madison”, “Hotel Transylvania”) is actively trying to irritate you with this movie.

In this film, the Devil (Harvey Keitel “Bad Lieutenant”) finds himself decomposing when two of his sons escape Hell to cause trouble on Earth. Satan sends his third child, Nicky (Sandler), to bring them back in order to restore the balance between good and evil. Get ready for lots of gross gags and celebrity cameos.

Adam Sandler is even more annoying that usual as he spends the entire film pulling a ridiculous face and putting on an equally ridiculous voice. I could maybe tolerate a minor character acting like this but for this to be the main character, it was grating. Isn’t it appropriate that Sandler is playing the son of the Devil? Maybe this is a documentary. Harvey Keitel is bland as the Devil. Patricia Arquette (“True Romance”) is bad as Valerie. The only character that was vaguely amusing was a talking dog. There were so many cameos in here, it was unbelievable. I spotted Rodney Dangerfield (“Caddyshack”), Quentin Tarantino (“Desperado”), Reese Witherspoon (“Hot Pursuit”), Jon Lovitz (“Rat Race”), Dana Carvey (“Wayne’s World”), Henry Winkler (“Here Comes The Boom”) and Ozzy Osbourne. How did all these people get suckered into appearing in this disaster.

The jokes are lame and frequently just disgusting. There is a moment where a dog shoots an arrow from his genitals and there are several scenes where Satan shoves pineapples up Hitler’s backside. If the attempts at humour were not bad enough, we also have to deal with atrocious special effects and the terrible acting. This is easily one of Sandler’s worst movies. If you want me to put into perspective just how bad it is, Mike Nelson from “Mystery Science Theatre 3000” claimed it was the ‘worst comedy movie ever’.
