Little Nicky -- Second-rate comedy in which Adam Sandler plays the son of the devil (Harvey Keitel) and an angel (Reese Witherspoon) who must save his father from being destroyed by Sandler's conniving, evil-to-the-bone two brothers (Rhys Ifans and Tommy ``Tiny'' Lister, Jr.). Low on laughs, director Steven Brill's flop of a film has minimal appeal with unfunny gags, stale special effects and limp performances. Satanic subject matter, much comically intended violence, some crude sexual references, brief drug use, an instance of rough language and intermittent crass language. The U.S. Catholic Conference classification is (A-III) -- adults. (PG-13) -- parents are strongly cautioned. Some material may be inappropriate for children under 13. 2000 (New Line)
