10 Iconic 2000s Comedies That Aren’t Funny Anymore (4 of 6)

Eight Crazy Nights (2002)

Adam Sandler’s animated holiday musical takes the usual Sandler man-child arc and cranks it up with cartoon physics and noisy side characters. Maybe if the whole movie had been shorter, some bits might have landed better. Animation magnifies everything: the sentimentality gets syrupy, the obnoxiousness gets even more unbearable, and the songs, well, they’re actually fine.

The Master of Disguise (2002)

Dana Carvey is pretty good at doing impressions of people, but why would someone think that we needed a movie about that? We got a secret family of disguise experts who will use their talents to save the world, and that “family” exists mostly to put Carvey from one costume to another. Now, if the writing were better, maybe this could work. Instead, sketches ramble, the timing on the jokes feels off, and the 80-minute runtime feels like an eternity.
