#1408 full movie megavideo series
Instead, there are a series of bizarre, contrived scenes many of which centre around the toilet habits of an annoying talking dog.
But the expected barrage of fish-out-of-water stereotypes never materialises. Anyway, sweet-natured, not-evil-enough-to-rule, Earth-virgin Nicky is dispatched up to retrieve his errant brothers. If parity cannot be restored and the naughty boys returned down below, Harvey is in serious danger of disappearing into thin air (which, it strikes me, would actually be a blessing). Their departure freezes over the gates of Hell and begins to physically debilitate old Satan. This incenses his other two sons (Rhys Ifans and Tom Lister Jr) and they decide to snub life in Hades in favour of running riot up on Earth. Not believing any of his diabolical offspring suitable for the job, he decides to stay in charge himself. When Dad reaches pensionable age (10,000 years in this case), he is supposed to retire and hand over the reins to an heir. Nicky is the youngest son of the Devil (Harvey Keitel. His eponymous 'hero' (and I use the term in its loosest possible sense) is certainly a schmuck, but he is about as lovable as herpes. Little Nicky is another opportunity to build a weak, convoluted story around one of Sandler's lovable schmucks. I will grudgingly give him The Wedding Singer where he fortuitously stumbled on some decent chemistry with Drew Barrymore, but aside from that his movies are generally overly sentimental and woefully short on substance. He has worked out that producers are falling over themselves to offer him twenty million bucks a throw to fall over a couple of times and wear bad 1980s clothing. His success is based purely on the pathos generated by the losers he plays. Sandler is a comedian who (in his films at least) HAS NO GAGS! Not only does he not do jokes, but his physical comedy is pretty ordinary too. But why wouldn't they think that? Sandler is a veritable Box Office cash cow. It is a sad state of affairs when filmmakers believe they can simply unleash this goofy, rubber-faced moron on a trusting and frankly deluded public and gleefully scoop up gazillions of dollars in takings. Thoughtless, childish pap that adds considerable credence to the notion that Adam Sandler is as overrated as he is irritating. Oh well, at least there are a raft of top class actors and comedians queuing up for cameos and supporting roles maybe they will be able to inject some class into proceedings. I was under the impression that this was some kind of comedy.
