Eight Crazy Nights
Eight Crazy Nights (also known as Adam Sandler's Eight Crazy Nights) is a 2002 American adult animated Hanukkah musical comedy-drama film directed by Seth Kearsley and produced, co-written by and starring Adam Sandler in his first voice-acting role alongside Jackie Titone, Austin Stout, Rob Schneider, Kevin Nealon, Norm Crosby, and Jon Lovitz. The film is animated in the style of television holiday specials and, unlike most mainstream holiday films, centers on Jewish characters during the Hanukkah season, as opposed to the Christian celebration of Christmas.
Plot
In the small fictional town of Dukesberry, New Hampshire, Davey Stone is a 33-year-old Jewish alcoholic troublemaker with a long criminal record whose antics have long earned him the community's animosity. Davey is arrested for refusing to pay his bill at Mr. Chang's Chinese restaurant, attempting to evade arrest, stealing a snowmobile and destroying festive ice sculptures in the process.
