Little Nicky (2000)

Some of the comedies we’re discussing for this month’s theme “AWKWARD LAUGHTER 2: THE FLOP” are movies that maybe missed the mark after some high expectations but even with Adam Sandler’s hitmaking comedy pedigree, $85 million seemed like a quite a bit of money for any comedy film. Maybe even a lot by today’s standards. Most movies would be ecstatic to make a $53 million box office but studios had higher expectations for the 2000 Adam Sandler comedy “Little Nicky” directed by Steve Brill. Sandler would quickly get his box office groove back for his next few films but this flick about the very nice son of the Devil (Harvey Keitel) who must stop his demon brothers from making hell on earth maybe doesn’t rank very high on the lists of Sandler fans. Is this really a bloated bomb or is this as good, if not better, than any Adam Sandler flick? We thought about discussing “Jack & Jill” for the month but it turns out that movie actually exceeded its budget. Somehow.
