Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAdam Sandler's real-life dog, named Meatball, is the son of the dog that played Mr. Beefy in this movie. Meatball was Adam Sandler's best man at his wedding.
- Goofs(at around 16 mins) When Little Nicky exits Grand Central Terminal and spooks the street preacher, the traffic on the street disappears and reappears.
- Quotes
John: Hey, by the way, Nicky, check this out, what's Ozzy tryin' to say there?
Nicky: John, absolutely nothing, the blizzard always came straight with his messages, but wrap your minds around this, gentlemen.
[Pulls out a Chicago album]
Nicky: Chicago!
Todd: I love this song.
Voice Of The Demons: I command you in the name of Lucifer to spread the blood of the innocent!
Peter: Oh my God, Chicago kicks ass!
- Crazy creditsDuring the closing credits, flashes of the character whereabouts were explained. When they explain Nicky's mom, (Reese Witherspoon) a picture still of her is shown saying "Mom immediately fell in love with her new aerobics instructor... Chris Farley," giving a tribute to Chris Farley who died 3 years before the film, in 1997. The aerobics reference is referring to his classic skit on Saturday Night Live (1975) that will always be hilariously remembered. Adam Sandler and the rest of the SNL gang were great friends with Farley.
- Alternate versionsIn the FOX 2004 presentation, many things were edited:
- All references to Popeye's are cut, so "Popeye's Chicken is fucking awesome" becomes "Chicken is kickin'".
- "Hitler's ass" was replaced with "Hitler's rear"
- "The shit has hit the fan." shortens to "It has hit the fan".
- A deleted scene of the peeper becoming bait and being eaten by a fish was added.
- The asking of the gatekeeper whether there were boobs on his head was cut.
- The Coke/Pepsi transformation was partially cut.

Okay, Adam Sandler has been allowed to get away with some bad movies in his time. But Little Nicky is unforgiveable. It is just horrible on all acounts. Rodney Dangerfield, Dana Carvey and a slew of other comedic talent seem like they are paying off a debt to Sandler for even appearing in this movie. Even poor Kevin Nealon is reduced to wearing boobs on his head and dancing around with tassles twirling around. It's despicable.
Sandler plays his normal role of a idiot with a heart of gold, only this time there's the big twist of him being the son of the devil. I just didn't buy it. I didn't really buy anything in this movie. I don't get it and i don't want to get it. If this is what audiences think is funny, then i guess i'm just not "with it". And thank God. If you want to see a thoughtful, CLEVER comedy, go rent "Wet Hot American Summer". It is a priceless comedy that will live on, unlike this crap.
