A lot of Adam Sandler movies have this thing where they're good movies trapped within bad movies. The story of Davy losing his parents which in turn causes him to go down a dark path of alcohol and hatred of himself and the people around him only to find someone that genuinely cares for him and turn his life around is a great story! It's just stuck between everything else. I still really love this movie even with all the Adam Sandler humor in it.

And honestly, Whitey's story is a great analogy of a golden-hearted person being stuck in an abusive relationship. The guy is the ultimate good samaritan who endlessly turns the other cheek on what everyone else does. The one and only thing he wants is some recognition in the form of an annual patch, and he's likely so dependant on it this time because of his age. It's actually a damn good narrative to juxtapose against Davy's own story. The problem is that it's drowned in the god awful "humor" and how almost everybody else is such an unlikable arse, giving it an awful gross tone for the entire film. And if that negative tone was supposed to be the point, then as Saber and Loudmouth said it shouldn't have muddled the tone consistancy with the heartfelt stuff and just gone all out in the movie being one massive pessimistic movie like Bad Santa.

When I was in college, a ton of my professors actually worked on this movie. One of them even still had the cells he made. They actually were working at the Walt Disney animation studio in Orlando, Florida. But after Disney shut down the studio, they said that people from Happy Madison were right outside the building handing out applications to work on Eight Crazy Nights. After they finished work on the movie, they all ended up leaving the animation industry. Most were 2D and hand drawn animators, and sadly there wasn’t much work anymore after Eight Crazy Nights.

@AoiUsagiOtoko on the front of weird but kind characters, you may like Pseudo from Clash: Artifacts of Chaos which released early 2023. I know it's not an animation or movie, but if you want weirdness, Zenozoik (the world where the game takes place) has you more than covered. There's rarely a human in sight, and few creatures are exactly alike. Heck, Pseudo is even named as such by the devs because he has the rough *outline* of a human, but there is so much to him that makes him definitely *not* human. Here's a story trailer. I hope it may catch your interest! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gbN9aaZkkpzScmQ.html

I almost always hate the trope of "character overhears something they weren't supposed to" but I actually think that's what they should have done with Whitey telling Davey's story to Elanor. Having Davey out having fun only to rejoin the group and just catch the tail end of Whitey finishing the story would have worked better here. That way the audience still gets to hear it, Elanor still gets to pity Davey, which infuriates him, and Davey still gets to get mad that Whitey shared information about him that wasn't any of his business. The only change is that Whitey comes across more as careless rather than actively ignoring Davey's requests for him to stop.

A smart man and a dumb man go spelunking in two joined caverns. The smart man brings all the tools he'll need to get out, including helmets, hooks, hammers, and ropes, but neglects to bring a lantern because he doesn't realize how dark it will become. The dumb man only brings a lantern, as he has climbed out of many holes before, why should this one be any different. The dumb man quickly becomes stuck in a hole upon arrival and sits there, contemplating how he will get out. Meanwhile the smart man makes great progress at the start, carefully pacing himself and slowly moving further from the entrance, but over time, he realized it was getting harder to see, and he was struggling to identify markers, soon he was lost. Eventually, while wandering, he notices a dim light in the distance. As he gets closer, he notes it is coming from the floor, and nearing it, he hears a blissful huming. He finds the dumb man beaten and bruised in his hole, but otherwise in good spirit, the smart man feeling miserable and having spent the journey beating himself up for making such a simple blunder inquired how the dumb man could remain so chipper having no way of leaving the hole, and the dumb man responded simply that these things have a way of working themselves out. Working together the dumb man and the smart man escape the hole, as neither could have done alone, and despite the smart man being better prepared than the dumb man to handle the situation, there was no shame in using what little the dumb man had to offer to find his way home.

Sure, Davey's backstory is pretty traumatic, but Whitey has no right to be so tragic. He just wants to help others and be recognized for his accomplishments, but everyone constantly shits on him. He genuinely wants to help Davey get better. Not just because he sees this opportunity as a way to win the patch, but because he seems to actually care about Davey, evident by the way he still sets boundaries and threatens to kick him out or turn him in if he takes things too far. And the town still doesn't acknowledge him. His only friends are his sister, one of his former players along with her son, a group of deer, and the mall. I just want to give him a hug!

So about the dunking on whitey thing: Back then, that kind of treatment towards people who are different was really widespread and socially acceptable. The writing allows the audience to engage in that behavior before forcing us to suddenly be confronted with the realization that he is a person, a kind-hearted one at that, and forces us to think about how we view and treat others in a way we don't normally get forced into

I'd also recommend The Ghost and Molly McGee as a show with a good Hannukah special, taling full advantage of their having a canonically Jewish character, Libby. The epiaode is simple but sweet: Libby and her mom are gosting a Hannukah party and the power cuts out, and their generator only has enough fuel for 1 hour. The party goes on and we get a game of dreidel, Scratch singing the praises of Jewish fried food, a poem about the Hannukah story, a 'whole lotta latke', even a surprisingly dark backstory for Libby's family menorah. Only at the end do they realise that the generator has been going for 8hrs straight on 1hr of fuel (get it?).

So the power going out, the characters thinking they had one hour of fuel, but actually having eight hours is a reference to the story.

The mean spirited vibe of the movie is intentional, the arc for Davey, and to that affect, the entire town, mostly revolves around how they treat others around them, and, in Davey's case, overcome childhood trauma. Once Davey finally get's over his trauma, he realizes how badly he's been treating everyone around him, including Whitey. He later opens the towns eyes to there own negligence of Whitely, intentional or otherwise.

I think you're forgetting or missing context for a lot of the things you dislike about this movie (not the shit jokes, that's just weird). It's completely understandable for this small town to collectively hate on these old disabled people because they're "weird," that's a thing that happens _all the time_ in real life. The town drunk holding up a mirror to their shitty behavior is a really good way to make them realize how they've been treating Whitey and Eleanor, as he was the worst of them about it. It's like a more cynical version of Squidward in Band Geeks. The fascination with the mall works too; back in the 90s, the mall was the culture center of the town, _especially_ a smaller one without much else going on. The two biggest groups that frequent the mall were the elderly (who have little else to do), and kids/teens (like Davey before his life went downhill). It's not the _best_ message to put in a holiday movie, but it's certainly realistic, and I do appreciate going out of the way to get real brands instead of making up their own parody companies. It's not a great movie, or even really _good,_ but overall I think it deserves a bit more credit than you give in this video.

I think the issue is that the movie almost acts as though it's expecting you to laugh at his disabilities? For example, the last scene with him having a seizure in a joyful moment kind of frames it as 'haha, look at this silly old man' rather than 'this is an old man who has seizures sometimes'.
@Jerepasaurus
@Jerepasaurus 4 ай бұрын
Honestly, as long as the seizures aren't hurting him, which they don't appear to do, just reminds me of friends with different mental health issues or disabilities making jokes about them. I didn't find the seizures "funny" per say, but was just another quirk of the oddball character. At the time they made this movie, having so many issues and awkward qualities had people laughing at you. But these days, it's easy to find yourself in a friendly and fun community filled with people were tons of issues are the norm. It's like someone trying to make a "four eyes" nerd joke for someone with glasses. It's a completely normal thing, and most "nerds" are totally mainstream.@@dinolil1474

I think that is the highlight of the movie to me. Maybe it's just personal but the movie reminded me that MY tragedy didn't have to make me bitter.

4:31 I know this was probably a joke, but in this case it would be an "I Am Song". Typically the two types of songs that introduce a character are "I Want Songs" and "I Am Songs". I wouldn't say they're opposites in all cases, but in this particular case, "I Want Songs" are typically meant to evoke sympathy/empathy for a character and establish a motive, while "I Am Songs" are simply about who the character is without aiming to establish any form of emotional connection to them (hence why they're usually- but not always- reserved for villains and antagonists (think Gaston's song)).

I think the thing is that if a movie is going to go that route then it's best to leave alone the things like doing a serious take on dealing with traumatic issues, or having it end with everyone realizing the error of their ways and celebrating a warm holiday moment. It's possible, but extremely difficult to mix the irreverent with the serious/heartwarming, and if not done well then people's reaction will be "Come on, pick a lane!"

You can have flawed characters as long as there are likeable or even redeeming qualities in them. The movie can still be cynical as long as keep the narrative framing consistent with Davey being in the wrong and Whitey in the right. They can make Whitey be an eternal optimist, have his shortcomings (without it being insulting), but still be emotionally mature and intelligent. Two characters with polar opposite worldviews often lead to conflict, and offer interesting perspectives. This is how I'd imagine a scenario with Davey and Whitey, if it was done properly. This is after all the times Davey had berated him, called him names, and wants to be left alone in the cold snow. Whitey comes outside in the backyard, and sits beside him. *Whitey:* "Do you honestly think...you are the first person to ever point out my flaws...or my deformity? I've lived with them my entire life. It took me years to really accept myself. I even tried to..."give up" a few times. If it weren't for the good people of this town, like your girlfriend or her son, I probably wouldn't be here today. They gave me a reason to live, and to see the good in everything and everyone." "I'm very sorry you lost your parents; I really am...but be grateful that they loved you to begin with. Mine didn't. So, if you want to drown your self pity with booze and alcohol: be my guest. But it's not going to bring them back. And don't expect me to join in your little crusade, either. Because I'd already been there." "Now, are you coming in or what?"

The only reason I'm against this is it requires a level of emotional maturity we generally dont see in others - we see it portrayed in film, but how often have you seen those heart to hearts take place in real life? Not everyone reaches self actualization, or has it in them to be the bigger person/play the part of rock in someone else's life - we all have flaws. Whitey is a broken, delusional man doing everything in his power to retain his faith in his community despite all evidence to the contrary. He's certainly accepted his deformities because he's had no choice, but I don't think he's entirely at peace with them; he brushes insults and jabs off but he still very much feels them, especially when they're said with malice or anger (like when Davey lashes out). He has self doubts, he has misgivings about those around him even though he holds onto hope - Davey is overtly damaged and struggling, but Whitey never developed enough socially to realize perpetual people pleasing is a toxic personality trait too. He's a martyr and the entire town is more than happy to hang him at every opportunity, but he's convinced if he just tries hard enough, gives enough of himself, they'll come around - he's in denial almost the entire film. Whitey needs help just as much as Davey, and that's the beauty of their being drawn together; sometimes it takes a raging asshole to get through to lesser assholes who maybe don't realize the extent to which their actions affect others. Whitey helps Davey come to terms with his past by giving him someone who, no matter how many times he snaps and tries to chase him away, doesn't leave him alone anymore. Davey in turn helps Whitey by being that raging asshole who forces reality on him, then forces everyone else to look in the mirror at what utter pieces of crap they've been, even by his standards. Without Davey, Whitey's scene at the end would've been him sad, patchless, and moving to Florida defeated; his last 35 years amounting to absolutely nothing in the community, his cheerful disposition finally overtaken. Without Whitey, Davey continues down his path of self destruction until he ultimately ends up behind bars or dead. This film is about broken people complimenting each other's weaknesses; I much prefer that over a clearly defined, morally strong rock character who masks their full strength until the most opportune moment.

22:33 Speaking of the director, I actually talked to him on Twitter and he said that after “Eight Crazy Nights”, he actually pitched the idea of a Sly Cooper movie to Sony, which was years before Blockade Entertainment and Rainmaker Entertainment actually tried to make it with director Kevin Munroe until it got cancelled.

I watched this movie a few times and the thing that gets me every time is the music and the singing! It was so good to me (mostly the mall seen where they tried to get him to cry), and that scene got me to cry was when the parents sing to him. Still, the voices are so good in this song!

I think the problem with Adam Sandler is that movie producers/writers saw what kind of character he was good at portraying: overall rough around the edges, antisocial characters who had their own motivations and could open up to others under the right circumstances. They brought that character archetype to the extreme and made it into a stereotype, resulting in characters who are major assholes, are a toxic influence on anyone they meet, but get their big redeeming moment in the last few minutes of the movie.

Say what you will about 8 Crazy Nights, But it's both one of my favorite Adam Sandler movies as well as one of my favorite Holiday movies! In fact one of the many things I love about "8 Crazy Nights" is that even though it's about a Jewish guy and Hannukkah, There's no rule saying that you have to be Jewish in order to watch it.

I got a better understanding of Hanukkah by watching the Ghost and Molly McGee episode "Festival of Lights". It has a nice allegory of the eight nights with the little bit of lamp oil by converting it to eight hours with a generator, and each hour showcases some pf the history and traditions of Hanukkah nicely. It's often regarded as one of the best episodes in the show, and I highly recommend it.

If you need a palette cleanser after this, Arthur's Perfect Christmas is a really pleasant animated holiday special. I watch it every holiday season! It's short and sweet, and despite being "Christmas" in the title, it includes a lot of different cultures respectfully. Its Hanukkah rep is just one of the plots going on in it at once, but I really liked how they handled it + talked about how Christians can be disrespectful about it.

Not because I'm a troublemaker and law breaker, but because after the death of my father when I was 17, I just couldn't care to be in any sort of holiday spirit. Birthgiver didn't help any either.

The fact you thought the movie was telling us to '"look down on Whitey" tells me more about you than it does about the movie. You're supposed to have empathy for him, and understand that there are plenty of elderly people like him. Its an exaggerated stereotype, fair enough. But there was never a point in the movie that really wanted YOU to look down on Whitey. It was trying to show how tough his life really is, yet he was still a constant bright light for everyone in town. That line itself was really terrible, and shows your lack of understanding when it comes to something unorthodox. Edit: Saying Sandler has no business singing is the most tone deaf thing I've ever heard. The dude has some amazing pipes. He uses them comedically. Its been his style since the early nineties. You can call the voices annoying, but you cannot deny the actual range. And, when he sings seriously, he's got a smooth vocal, as seen in this movie. KInda lost me after you said that and I had to click off the review. DIdnt get through it, so I dont know if you ended up actually objectively looking at the music in this movie, or if you just continued to shit on Sandler because that's the popular thing.

Probably not, but it makes us laugh and that's all that matters. It's nostalgic. If it makes your feel better, we have watched it a few times already as well, and will again before the year is done. 😂 Happy Holidays!

We aren’t close today but we like to quote movies and every Christmas time I get a text with an obscure line from the movie. I think it was funny but maybe it a because the inside jokes my family has with it, but it is really close to my heart
