Synopsis

Amazon.com
Has any film genre been more underrepresented than the animated Hanukkah holiday gross-out? This Adam Sandler vehicle (based very loosely on his loopy SNL fave "Chanukah Song," which gets yet another remake herein) may take its musical/comedic cues from South Park, throwing everything from alcoholism to incontinent reindeer into the mix--not to mention the eight songs on this brief soundtrack. But the results seem a looooong way from the satirical glories that Trey Parker, Matt Stone, and Marc Shaiman evoked on Bigger, Longer and Uncut. Indeed, the overwrought songs (some credited to as many as five writers, including Sandler and fellow SNL alum Robert Smigel) here are often so far from Sandler's original goofy-guy-with-a-guitar musical ethos that they might seem alien to even the comedian's most faithful fans. The bonus material seems as generous as the musical selections are sparse, and includes three animated clips, screensavers, a message from Sandler, an NBA clip directed by the comedian, and a brief video of him celebrating the holiday with Meatball, his dog. If you think a yarmulke-wearing bulldog is the pinnacle of contemporary wit, this may just be the disc for you. --Jerry McCulley

Short, but Sweet (4.5 stars)

"I don't care what anyone says, I thought "Eight Crazy Nights" was a really good movie with humor and heart. It also had some really great songs, which were all written by Adam Sandler. For those who are long time Sandler fans, you'll know that besides just doing funny skits or funny movies, he loves to write songs. This is a great soundtrack for you if you loved the movie and songs. With this CD, you know exactly what you're getting, so there's very little room for disappointment. You either loved the songs or hated them. I thought they're pretty catchy and funny. They are very much like the humorous songs we have heard on his albums.While it's a very short soundtrack, it is still a very enjoyable one to listen to. My favorite song has to be "technical foul." That song alone is worth the price of the album. I could listen to that one over and over again. Sandler's voices for Whitey and Eleanor are hilarious. Plus, this soundtrack also includes "the Chanukah song part 3," which is great for listening to over and over again. All of the other songs are great as well. (It even inculdes a song that did not end up in the movie, "at the mall," with Sandler as Whitey.)The CD has a lot of extras for your PC. That's right, extras. Has more extras than some of the DVDs that are out! The extras included are the animated video for the "patch song," the movie trailer, a video message from Mr. Sandler himself, the live Meatball movie that was shown before the actual movie "Eight Crazy Nights," a 30 second NBA audio spot by Adam Sandler, "Foot Soak" and "Kung-Fu" flash animations, and 2 screen savers. Wow, that's a lot of extras for a CD. So that pretty much makes up for the album being short."Eight Crazy Nights" is a very entertaining soundtrack, even with only having 8 songs. If you loved the songs in the movie, then get this album. You know what you're getting yourself into when you purchase this CD at least. Great songs, great singing, and great extras. Adam Sandler is an awesome song writer. I am very happy with this purchase."
Good movie, good soundtrack

"...I thought Eight Crazy Nights was great. It wasn't filled with potty humor, and the songs are pretty funny. My two favorite songs would definitely Bum Biddy and Long Ago."
