Eight Crazy Nights/YMMV


 * Narm: Due to his voice, the audience just might find what comes out of Whitey's mouth to be hilarious.
 * The Scrappy: Whitey and Davey both get no love from many viewers of this movie.
 * Tear Jerker: Davey's past and possibly the mall scene where.
 * Unintentionally Unsympathetic: Davey Stone spends most of the movie's running time acting like an unlikable, unapologetic asshole who's about as close to a Complete Monster as a regular Jerkass character can get. We're then asked to sympathize with him when it's revealed that . But even after we learn this, Davey comes off as far too crude and mean-spirited for the audience to feel anything but contempt for, and even following his last minute turnaround, he doesn't make nearly enough amends for his past behavior and is technically still in a lot of legal trouble that he's yet to face up to by the time the movie ends!
 * As Roger Ebert put it: "If there was ever a movie where the upbeat ending feels like a copout, this is the one."
 * What Do You Mean It's Not for Kids?: Yes, it's an animated wacky holiday musical rife with toilet humor, but it is most definitely not for children. Doesn't help that in Canada, the movie's rated PG. 14A would have been more like it.
 * Visual Effects of Awesome: The animation is actually quite good. It doesn't exactly save the plot, though.
 * The Woobie: Whitey, for those who don't hate him as The Scrappy.
 * Jerkass Woobie: Davey was meant to be this after you learn that . But his Jerkass side far outweighs his Woobie side as an adult, and as a result he becomes Unintentionally Unsympathetic because there doesn't seem to be anything redeemable about the person he is now. At the very least, the death of his parents doesn't justify how he treats Whitey.
