Come celebrate the joy and togetherness of the Hanukkah season with
Adam Sandler -- yeah, that
Adam Sandler -- in this raucous animated
comedy written and produced in collaboration with the noted funnyman.
Davey Stone (voice of
Adam Sandler) is a twentysomething man with a short temper and a reputation for causing trouble who lives in the small New England town of Dukesberry.
Davey has a particularly bad attitude about the holiday season, and on the first night of Hanukkah, he goes on a tear that lands him in front of a judge (voice of
Norm Crosby). The judge, who has dealt with
Davey before, is prepared to send him to prison, but
Whitey (also voiced by
Sandler), an eccentric but kindly old man, persuades the judge to give him a chance to turn
Davey into a more responsible citizen.
Davey doesn't think much of
Whitey's charitable nature, but when his trailer home burns down, he's forced to move in with
Whitey and his perpetually nervous sister,
Eleanore (also voiced by
Sandler...spotting a trend here?). Between
Whitey and
Eleanore's nonstop kvetching and the reappearance of his old girlfriend
Jennifer (voice of
Jackie Titone),
Davey is being driven to distraction by the Hanukkah season, but in time
Whitey learns the truth about why
Davey has such a problem with the Festival of Lights.
Adam Sandler's Eight Crazy Nights also includes eight new songs co-written by
Sandler; he duets with
bluegrass star
Alison Krauss on
"Long Ago." ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide
