Little Nicky

0 Comments

Sandler co-writes, co-produces, and stars in this comedy film directed by Steven Brill. He plays Nicky, the third and youngest of Satan’s sons. His father is set to choose which one of his sons is the rightful successor to his throne, and his brothers are determined to do everything to grab that title. Co-starring Harvey Keitel, Patricia Arquette, and Rhys Ifans.

I like playing characters who get insulted a lot and who lose their temper because of it or can’t think of a snappy comeback. But you’re right-I do like snapping and yelling, it’s part of my comedy. Sometimes when I’d snap in my house growing up, it would make my dad laugh. Or sometimes, he’d smack me.

Sandler plays Billy Madison in this comedy directed by Tamra Davis. Madison is the spoiled and lazy son of a hotel mogul. Before he can take over the family business empire, his father challenges him to go back and do all the school work that he missed over the years – starting from kindergarten and stopping at each grade after that. Also starring Bridgette Wilson and Norm MacDonald.

It was the first one, it was the one that got my own vision out there. It was my mother’s favorite one.

I don’t know if Mo was that excited about what I wanted to do — recording a stand-up set is a lot cheaper. And I think it’d been awhile since Mo had heard something like the Cheech & Chong or Derek and Clive albums that I liked. But Mo said he knew this guy Brooks who could help me.
