New York Post
It's funnier than "Bedazzled," which isn't saying much. - 60
Village Voice
Certainly Sandler's most ambitious work. It's not just a bid for respectability but a genuine allegory. - 60
The New York Times
It's a clever idea bogged down in sophomoric sloppiness. Sitting through it doesn't feel like eternal damnation, but it's not exactly heaven, either. It's a $9.50 tour of adolescent purgatory. - 60
Los Angeles Times
The kindest thing that can be said about Sandler's sense of humor is that it's unapologetically juvenile. - 50
Boston Globe
Hell itself is going to hell in Sandler's new comedy. - 50
San Francisco Examiner
Little Nicky is but a meek gross-out cousin of "The Waterboy." - 42
Portland Oregonian
Though it's debatable whether Sandler is squandered or just supremely annoying here, the film's flaws aren't entirely his fault. - 40
TV Guide Magazine
Diehard Sandler fans will probably find it uproarious, but others will have to make do with the occasional chuckle.
