A CAPSULE RAIDER REVIEW
Adam Sandler plays the not so bright son of Satan. He is called to action when his brothers make a hasty exit from Hell which could lead to the Devil’s death. So the only way to save his father’s life is for Nicky to make the journey to Earth and capture his two hell raising (literally) brothers and bring them back down below. You would think that Adam Sandler as the spawn of Satan would have a few comedic possibilities. You would be wrong. Most of the jokes just fall flat. And the sight gags which do work are few and far between. And most of those don’t involve Sandler but the supporting cast, all of whom are funnier than the film’s star.

2/10
