AnhartLinkin This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

Senteur As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

de_baltz OMG don't watch this movie. It's unbearably UNfunny. Adam needs to retire and banned from ever making another movie after this betrayal of a film!!

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.

SnoopyStyle Max Simkin (Adam Sandler) is a cobbler in the Lower East Side of Manhattan. He unhappily follows his late father (Dustin Hoffman) and fathers all the way back. Jimmy (Steve Buscemi) is his friend and barber next door. Carmen Herrara (Melonie Diaz) is a local organizer trying to stop land developer Elaine Greenawalt (Ellen Barkin). Local thug Leon Ludlow (Method Man) brings in his shoes. Max is stitching a new sole when the machine breaks down. He goes down to the basement to dust off the old manual stitcher. After fixing Leon's shoes, Max tries them on and finds himself turned into a copy of Leon. The magical machine had been passed on from father to son.There are a few ways to go with this intriguing concept. It could be a heart-felt indie about walking a mile in someone's shoes. It could be a superhero origin story. It could be a dark dive or a comedic take into humanity. This fails to walk down any of these more compelling paths. I'm not sure if it's Adam Sandler or a failure by Tom McCarthy. I tend to blame McCarthy. I expected more from him. This is not completely horrible like many of Sandler's recent efforts but it is still not good.

rodrigopalet watching this was something fresh, its a set up for like a Jewish super hero that any one can relate, I would be really interested in a sequel just for the kick out of it, good to see Adam Sandler first of all by himself with out the other usual side kick, just Steve in a non retarded character, plus the gray winter ambiance in the movie and the music to go with it just brilliant, really go on watch this movie and try to think its not the usual Adam Sandler flick and you will enjoy it. Fun dark comedy with no cheep shots and a nice cadence too The only down side i see to this movie is the same i see in a lot of movies, when they try to translate this to another language they just butcher the movie I now its difficult some times to translate emotions and slang from a new York based movie in Spanish but some times is like they are not even trying. Adam thanks for the fresh ride of creativity
