Wow! Such a good movie.
Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
So much average
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
loads of spoilers, but how can you spoil a really bad and in many ways a nasty film. let me say that i am an adam sandler fan, and have liked most of his films. this could have been great but has one of the worst scripts and stories ever put to film. so the idea of getting to know someone by stepping into their shoes is a good idea. so what do they do with it, he finds out using a special stitcher, handed down for generations, and if the shoe fits then he becomes that person. but only physically and with their voice, he is still himself. so instead of thinking of good uses for this, the film spends about 15 minutes with him goofing around beceome other people, none of this is funny, he then gets involved with a nasty gangster and decided to become him, leading him into ever more stupid escapades that no person with normal intelligence would ever dream of doing,this all leads to a plot to throw and old timer out of his apartment, or burn him down, and by even more stupid and unlikely plots twists Sandler saves the day. there is one bit where he puts on his dads's shoes, the dad in question having abandoned him and his mother, to grant his mum's wish to spend one last evening with her husband, this came very near to incest, throughout the film the character does'nt not develop, grow and learn anything, he is as stupid and undynamic as he was at the start. we kept watching to see how they would get to the happy ending, and we wish we had not
I'm so glad I ignored all the negative reviews and watched this movie. I thoroughly enjoyed it. At times I even forgot it was Adam Sandler. He actually acted like a real person and I think it is his best role and best acting yet. I think this movie should be labeled a classic. I loved the back story that set the stage for this movie and all of the ups and downs Adams character had to go thru as he grew as a person inside. I think this is a must see movie.
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.
Completely don't get the bad reviews as we don't have enough of these movies these days. Such a great story line that's full of whimsicality. I've been waiting for a movie like this from Adam Sandler as he is often typecast and I've always felt like he had more in him. This movie is quirky, fun and a joy to watch and I was in that world enjoying the ride. It's not your typical Sandler movie but it's still light hearted and funny. It was a little predictable in that I had a pretty good idea of what was going to happen but I wasn't disappointed. Loved seeing Steve Buscemi as well - he was great in this role and him and Sandler bounce off each other really well. If you want to enjoy a really nice movie experience I highly recommend this film. You won't be disappointed.
