Amazon.co.uk Review
In Little Nicky, Adam Sandler plays the sweetest of three sons of Satan (Harvey Keitel), who's got to go to Earth and retrieve his nasty, power-hungry brothers lest they take over Hell and make it a thoroughly evil place. As with Sandler's other films, this weird premise (based oh-so-loosely on King Lear) is just an excuse to trot out a hodgepodge of comic bits and cameo performances. Admittedly, a lot of the jokes don't work (there was no need to repeat the one about shoving a pineapple up Hitler's ass) but the ones that do tend to be more memorable than the ones that don't, making for a pretty funny movie, when all is said and done. Sure, it's hard to overcome Sandler's speech impediment du jour, not to mention that romantic subplot with Patricia Arquette but it can be done by focusing on the brilliant cameos by Regis Philbin, Reese Witherspoon, Ozzy Osborne, and Henry Winkler (especially when he's covered with bees), as well as one of the funniest uses of a scene from De Palma's Scarface in years. Supporting Sandler throughout are two very funny heavy metal disciples and a bulldog named Beefy (voiced by Robert Smigel, the man behind Triumph the Insult Comic Dog). And, in an almost unrecognisable cameo, that's Clint Howard as the cross-dressing fetishist named "Nipples".--Andy Spletzer, Amazon.com

Synopsis
Continuing in the tradition of his hits THE WATERBOY and HAPPY GILMORE, Adam Sandler stars in LITTLE NICKY, a supernatural comedy about Satan's geekiest son. Nicky (Sandler) is relieved when his father (Harvey Keitel) decides to continue as ruler of the underworld for another 10,000 years instead of picking one of his bullying brothers, Adrian (Rhys Ifans) or Cassius (Tom "Tiny" Lister), to reign. Adrian and Cassius, hungry for power, decide to travel to New York City in order to spread Hell on Earth. Only Nicky can stop them and save his father--and the world--from his brothers' evil schemes. But Nicky has no idea what to expect from New York City, and he has to deal with new activities such as eating, sleeping, and meeting a new girlfriend, Valerie (Patricia Arquette). His friends Mr. Beefy, a talking bulldog, and John and Peter, a pair of hardcore heavy metal fans, try to help Nicky stand up for himself and eventually save the universe. LITTLE NICKY features a cast of regulars from other Adam Sandler movies, plus a hilariously bizarre sense of humor that allows all sorts of odd and twisted things to happen.

From the Back Cover
Nicky (Adam Sandler) is an all-American kid, who'd rather play heavy metal music in his bedroom sanctuary than climb the corporate ladder in his family's thriving business. Ruthless older brothers Adrian and Cassius are much more ambitious. When their ageing father decides to postpone his retirement, the sinister duo defects, leaving home, and setting up shop in New York City. The old man is steamed, but then he has every right to be mad, he's the DEVIL himself.
When your Dad won't hand over the family business.....

...this happens. Sort of.
There isn't much of a plot, but when you see Satan's youngest kid doing some Guitar Hero stuff in his bedroom, you know it has to be plain funny.
The repeat gag of Nicky getting killed by accident - generally his own mistakes - works very nicely, and even better when he accidentally lands in Heaven and discovers his air-head mum and her best mates, who are angels.
Beefy could have been done a little better, and just looks like a cheap copy of Frank the Pug from Men in Black.
Devilishly funny though, and loved the Ozzy cameo!

I watched the film Little Nicky on the TV and found it fantastically amusing. It is the sort of film you would want to watch over and over again, it really was that good.
appalling

I don't think i have ever seen such a terrible film, there is no intellience in this film the homour isnt even clever its dull and complety unamusing in fact I don't think it is for anyone except the very very dim. I have never been so bored I highly suggest not ever watching it.

What an odd film! After I'd heard from friends about how good it was, I was surprised at just how dull the humour. Don't get me wrong - I love a laugh just as much as the average person, but this is what you might call Alternate Humour. I hardly think that Adam Sandler walking around a city, with an odd looking twist in his mouth and annoying voice, is funny. Its just plain embarrassing!
Very pleasing

I love Adam Sandler and I consider this film to be on of best he's done! And my brother and sister who have very different senses of humors agree. For those who don't like this film you should see Adam Sandlers 8 crazy nights and that film is for all those who love wrapped adult cartoon.... one of the strangest films I've ever seen. Anyway I'm rambling......
Little Nicky it highly amusing I love all the characters and its so!!! Funny that I could watch it over and over again and still laugh every time
YAY
