Eight Crazy Nights movie storyline. Adam Sandler invites you to share some holiday cheer in the new, no-holds-barred musical comedy Adam Sandler’s Eight Crazy Nights. Davey Stone, a 33-year old party animal, finds himself in trouble with the law after his wild ways go too far. In keeping with the holiday spirit, the judge gives Davey one last chance at redemption-spend the holiday performing community service as the assistant referee for the youth basketball league or go to jail.
Davey thinks he’s gotten off easy until he meets Whitey Duvall, the eccentric, elf-like head referee. The mismatch between Whitey’s good heart and never-ending optimism and Davey’s constant troublemaking soon have them both wondering if going to jail wouldn’t have been easier! In this new, full-length animated feature about basketball, old girlfriends, holiday spirits, and the mall, Adam Sandler voices the three lead characters of Whitey, Davey, and Whitey’s fraternal twin sister Eleanore!
Eight Crazy Nights is a 2002 American adult animated holiday musical comedy film directed by Seth Kearsley and produced, co-written by and starring Adam Sandler, in his first voice-acting role. Unlike most mainstream holiday films, it centers on Jewish characters during the Hanukkah season, as opposed to religious or secular celebration of Christmas. Despite being animated in the style of television holiday specials, the film is adult oriented, featuring significant scatological humor, and focusing on such topics as alcoholism, bereavement, and depression.
This is Happy Madison Productions’ first animated film. The film’s title is taken from a line in Sandler’s series of songs called The Chanukah Song that compares the gift-giving traditions of Christmas and Chanukah: “Instead of one day of presents, we get eight crazy nights!”. Additionally, a new version of The Chanukah Song was played over the film’s closing credits.
