Oh woe... Despite the fact, that Mr. Sandler has happened to write the movie doesn't always mean, that he should also act in them. Normally I wouldn't mind, as Sandlers comedies are pretty typical watch and forget movies, but Little Nicky has so much potential it almost breaks my mind to think someone in the lead who actually can act.
Now we have Sandler as son of Satan and he is everything but the part. Oh well, Sandler we have to live with so that's the end of that then.
Don't get me wrong, there are lots of funny stuff in the film and there are good actors too, like Harvey Keitel (Satan) and Rhys Ifans (Adrian). Patricia Arquette (Valerie, Nicky's girlfriend) does a good part as well. It's just that Sandler has so dominant part of the film, that his inability to act more than one character really hangs like an iron ball on the leg of the film.
Maybe most hardcore Sandler fans will like this more than I, but I still can recommend this for at least one viewing so you can make your own mind about the flick. But personally I doubt I'll be adding this on my DVD collection.
