	Media	Author	Review
		Wesley Morris The New York Times	"What's special about the movie is how totally it believes in itself as a musical. The tunes, co-written by Sandler and a bunch of his pals, take on rock opera and traditional Jewish folk music with boyish exuberance."
		Carrie Rickey Philadelphia Inquirer	"Mazel tov, Adam, for having three movies released in five months. You should maybe spend more time on the next one?"
		Elizabeth Weitzman New York Daily News	"To be fair, Sandler deserves some credit for bringing us the first mainstream movie about Chanukah. Too bad it's completely idioticah."
		Kevin Thomas Los Angeles Times	"On the whole, this lively, bittersweet Columbia release works well and is sure to connect strongly with fans of Sandler at his most free-wheeling and uninhibited"
		TV Guide	"An offbeat, sometimes gross and surprisingly appealing animated film about the true meaning of the holidays."
		Miami Herald	"Do not, under any circumstances, consider taking a child younger than middle school age to this wallow in crude humor."
		Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times	"Heaven help the unsuspecting families who wander into Adam Sandler's Eight Crazy Nights expecting a jolly animated holiday funfest."
