Nice story, not a great movie but entertaining.
im proud of adam sandler. good movie. entertained me well. congrats.
Adam Sandler receiving an extraordinary gift and using it in the dumbest way possible over and over again. Despite the lazy and idiotic decisions, I had a great time. The crazy plot twist and what came after made me pretty sure that Adam's character is crazy and is probably in a psychiatric clinic imagining this story. I love the couple with Carmen.
I don’t understand all the I hate Adam Sandler but I watch all his movies comments. It was one of the better movies he’s made lately. If you don’t like him don’t waste time watching him.
I'd say this is the worst Adam Sandler movie I've ever seen but that doesn't really seem to mean anything anymore. It also wouldn't be entirely accurate since Jack & Jill exists. And Grown Ups. And Pixels. And Click.
Bem diferente do que o Adam Sandler costuma fazer, e ficou bom. Gostei de assistir!
I would say this is a little out of the normal of most Sandler movies. It was funny, interesting, and a good watch overall. It kept me interested all the way through and I thought the plot was pretty good. Dustin Hoffman was also great to see.
Really enjoyed the film, want sure what to expect and surprised me
This isn't a good movie.. but it also isn't ruined by Sandlerisms. The screenplay isn't terrible. The premise is utterly enjoyable. A Cobbler who can look like anyone by putting on their shoes. It's a fun premise that I figured could explore a lot of things. You could take it super dramatic and he learned about other people and how organic the city is. You can go straight comedy with Adam Sandler dressed as a transvestite etc etc.
There's a number of problems with the movie the major spoiler theme wise is that it's closer to The Kingsmen than any other movie. It has the same opening and discovering and then expansion at the end. Part of me actually wouldn't mind seeing more just because of how it ended.
The acting is pretty solid. I don't know why Method Man isn't showing up on Trakt when he's a major character and his acting was fine but his character was a bit too much in places. I also have two major gripes with the established narrative.
He puts on the shows he becomes the owner. Fair. It's like a dry cleaner there's a ton of forgotten shows so he can wear them and become all the people. My problem is he uses a lot of current customer shows. He uses Method Man's shoes he uses a black boy's shoes. But he's a same day cobbler. He promises Method Man his shoes at close. His sign says like 15m. Aren't people coming back for their shoes? At no point do people come and take their shoes back it's just all dropping off for the duration of the movie. So he has this wide array of "actively used" shoes.
He gets unethical while black. It's a bit more complicated than that but in short Max (soon after he learns of the powers) starts to go around the town as various people. And the movie makes it's first twist. I thought maybe he'd learn about what it's like to be them. Instead he just does a bunch of unethical stuff. He steals he robs. he dines and dashes as a black man that we saw drop off shoes. That means this black dude will one day be accosted for dining and dashing when he's done no such thing. That's a dick move. He goes to sleep with someone else's girlfriend and that's practically rape iirc. He threatens Method Man as a young black kid. Which as far as I'm concerned is putting this innocent black kid in danger of being killed by gangsters for doing something no black child would do.
For most of the movie Max is presented as this likeable guy but.. he's not. He's greedy, he has no values. On top of cheating people with the shoes in the montage. He steals from Method Man for .... actually for nothing. He didn't actually get threatened by him or anything. But he decides to rob a gangster's house AS that gangster.. to steal his watches. Then when that goes south and he can finally walk away he decides to double down to get $50k. At no point does he say "This is too much I need to leave". He almost loses believability as a character but he definitely loses likeability. And yet outside of that Sandler as Max is fairly charming. I WANT to like him. Between the gaps in the story and the gaps in him as a person it just brings down the movie. It's a watchable flick that offends because it could have been a lovely film and ends up being reductively silly.
Disliked this film. I am not an Adam Sandler fan, however I thought this plot sounded interesting. They really didn't utilise what they had here.
A big step down for a great director. Sandler is miscast and the story is muddled. A disappointment.
you need to watch paper towns.
Mto legal, gostei bastante do filme :D
click tadında, farklı konusuyla keyifli bir film olmuş..

Although panned by critics (like basically any Sandler movie) I must say I was rather surprised in a good way here. All Adam Sandler movies tend to, well, suck but this movie was actually okay.
It felt in a way like a subtle but absurd (and therefore good-ish) parody of superhero movies but more in the typical costume of sunday afternoon entertainment, easy digestible.
I wouldn't call this movie good or anything but on the other hand I didn't expect too much to begin with and Sandler did much worse movies like the infamous Jack and Jill.
Nice effort that you can watch if you have nothing to do but won't miss anything if you still don't watch it.
