matthewboulter One of the worst movies I've ever seen.Adam Sandler plays a sociopath that you're supposed to sympathize with; however, one of the first scenes involves him putting the shoes of someone else on, becoming that person, then going to that person's house and almost raping the guy's girlfriend in the shower but then realizing he can't because he would have to take his shoes of and change back into his real self. OMG. WTF.Another scene involves a 2 minute montage of him becoming different people when he puts their shoes on; one of these people happens to be transgender. The montage then stops abruptly to make an incredibly awkward and unfunny joke about transgender people: as he looks in the mirror, he says, "I'm a woman", then he puts his hand in his pants and pulls it out, shaking it in disgust, "No I'm not, no I'm not!"When he's a Chinese person, he goes to chinatown for the first time. When he's a black person, he robs people.The climax involves him, playing the transgender woman, kidnapping a drug dealer. The drug dealer overpowers him and the drug dealer says, "don't worry, I'm not going to shoot you, she-man. I'm going to choke you to death". The man begins to do so, until Sandler kicks him in the neck with his high-heel, killing him. Remember, this is supposed to be a comedy.In the final scene, Steve Buscemi becomes Dustin Hoffman, Adam Sandler's dad, and he tells Adam about how he has learned about what it means to be a cobbler. They get into a limo in the back of a barber shop and drive off into the night, setting up a sequel.

Esther I'm very confused as to why this movie has such bad reviews! It was really unique and had some really funny moments. It's not what you would expect from Adam Sandler but not totally unexpected either. It's along the lines of Click or Bedtime Stories though I think it's far better than those two. This isn't a perfect movie by any means but it is leagues better than Sandler's newest films (The Ridiculous Six/ Sandy Wexler). For anyone on the fence about watching it I say give it a chance, especially if you are a Sandler fan. It was a lot of fun to watch.

katjoeus So....I almost NEVER watch movies; usually don't have the patience for them and don't find most of them enjoyable; stumbled upon this on Netflix, said to the hubby "this sounds weird enough to be good" and started watching. Had no idea all those big names were in it - Adam Sandler, Steve Buscemi, Dustin Hoffman...plus what I thought was a great cast of unknowns (well...unknown to me, that doesn't mean much!).Anyway, I think it's a great movie, very different from most movies out there and a great performance by Adam Sandler...there's a great tear- jerkin scene with his mom and his dad but I can't say more because of spoilers, but I had me teary-eyed...You got nothing to lose by watching it, so do it!

Hollywood_Yoda This film is definitely not as critics made it seem, terrible. It's actually a pretty imaginative film. Top of the echelon for Adam Sandler, actually, as I never knew he was as versatile.The story is very interesting, and never boring, very intriguing. A cobbler, who wears the shoes of someone, can instantly become them. Makes for a very fun movie. And at just under 100 minutes, it doesn't seem to drag.I really liked Adam Sandler in his role, better than some of his recent ones, even his role in Pixels was not this good. Dustin Hoffman also stars, playing the father of Adam Sandler's character.A mature romp for Sandler. The best part is towards the end, a surprising twist.
