I can never get enough of Adam Sandler's movies, but this is my favorite of his thus far.
Okay, so it came out in November of 2000 and I think I first got to see it in 2002 while I was babysitting my BFF kids. They were like "oh you'll love this movie lets watch it" I hesitated because to be honest, it looked stupid, but never judge a book (or movie in this case) by its cover!
Nicky is one of the 3 dons of satan. He's into heavy metal music and rocking out in his room. When satan, his father, tells the 3 sons he's not going to retire, Nicky's 2 brothers Adrain and Cassius decide to rule earth by escaping the gates of hell through the gatekeeper, Nipples. As a result the gate freezes and no ones soul can get in or out except that of satan's sons. Satan starts to fall apart, literally, making Nicky the only one who can save his father, satan by stopping his brothers and returning them to hell in a flask through hell's gate. This is not an easy task for Nicky who dies a few times before he meets his earth sidekick Beefy, a talking bulldog set as a guide for him by satan himself. Beefy talks, teaches and protects Nicky teaching him all earths basics like eating and sleeping. Nicky also meets a designer student, Valerie Veran, who he falls in love with. Nicky gets an appt in NYC with Todd his actor wanna be roommate. Nicky then makes friends with 2 obsessed rocker pot head guys John and Peter where they devise a plan to capture Nicky's 2 brothers. After a few deaths of Nicky he's sent to heaven for saving Valerie where he meets his mother, an angel. She sends him back to catch his brothers. After many failed attempts, Nicky finally catches his 2 brothers and brings them back to hell. His father, satan, will rule hell and since Nicky is good he's sent back to keep the peace on earth, and his mother in heaven Valerie and Nicky have a baby and all ends well.
