The Best Holiday Movies

Eight Crazy Nights

From the man who brought us "The Chanukah Song" comes this animated comedy about the festival of lights. Adam Sandler voices Davey Stone, a drunk party animal who, after getting into trouble with the law, is spared from jail and sentenced instead to referee a youth basketball league. A child of Sandler's Happy Madison productions, Eight Crazy Nights is rife with the potty humor you'd expect from the people behind Billy Madison and Happy Gilmore. But if you can look past the poop jokes, you'll see a holiday film with the traditional messages of appreciating the underappreciated and the importance of family.
