...sign of the cross. "Late Night with Conan O'Brien" offers schtick featuring an actor dressed up as Jesus Christ. And the pint-sized, helium-voiced denizens of "South Park" frequently meet up with Christ himself, whether he be hosting a cable-access show or taking on the devil in a wrestling match. These days it seems that an artist/entertainer would have to go pretty far ("Piss Christ," anyone?) before he or she can actually outrage the majority of the zoned-out American public...

...behemoth. The SNL alum indeed performs the 83-minute-long film with an annoying, muffled speech impediment. And yes, recently Sandler's movies have become increasingly obnoxious and mainstream. Top it all off with a dull tag line-If Your Mom was an Angel and Your Father was the Devil You'd Be Messed Up Too-and you have yourself a motion picture with quite a bit going against it. That said, I immensely enjoyed Little Nicky, a heartwarming story about the devil (Harvey Keitel, a bit out of place in this classless romp) and his three sons...
