Little Nicky (2000)
Cute, corny, full of Ultimate Laughs only Adam Sandler can produce.
One word of advice - do not watch trailers. I did and guess what, practically every joke that was in the movie was on the trailer. Yes, dang. But the funny thing is, I've come to enjoy Little Nicky. It's another one of those 'mindless' entertainment that is full of cute moments. Remember the talking dog ('I'm a friend of your father's') and Valerie? They're cute. Nicky is cute. Geez, even the Devil is cute as hell. I enjoyed watching Little Nicky as much as I would enjoy watching reruns on television. Having seen The Waterboy and Big Daddy, I've realized (albeit a little too late) not to trust Adam Sandler to come up with heartwrenching movies that will magically strike some sensitive cord in you.
Adam Sandler does what he does best here - make cute movies. Worth renting the video. Not worth the ticket price though.
The Wonderful World of Disney: Switching Goals (1999)
Predictable. Kids only.
Switching Goals is pure mindless entertainment. It is a movie made purely for Olsen fans only, since most football shots feature mostly them. Funny enough, even though the movie says that the football teams go co-ed, Mary-Kate and Ashley seem to be the only girls in their teams. It's weird how the entire film seems to be banking merely on the girls' presence. The storyline is rather predictable, and using the switching identity tactic in twins is seriously very boring. The only upside to Switching Goals however is that it makes very good family entertainment. Ok, make that families with very young kids.
