Why so much hype?

SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

Not even bad in a good way

A Brilliant Conflict

First off I love Adam Sandler and his movies...I gave The Ridiculous 6 a 9 out of 10.... which it deserves.... it is better than Blazzing Saddles. Yea, I said it.That being said, even though I am a big fan of Adam I did not like this movie enough to watch twice. It was interesting to see him play a serious role, but the movie as a whole didn't work for me. I really enjoyed Punch Drunk Love. That is still Adam's best serious role movie.

The only word to describe this movie is baffling. The movies premise is stupid and it's executed, you guessed it, terribly. The plot is convoluted and boring to say the least. The acting isn't good and from a technical stand point it's decent. The cinematography, score and editing are all fine it's just the script is absolutely baffling. Everything that happened was just unbelievable. I watched this film in complete awe at what was happening. So many terrible things happen. Adam Sandler in one scene puts on his Dad's shoes and has a date with his Mom. Yes, that actually happens in the movie. He also puts on the shoes of a guy who has a hot girlfriend, goes over to the guys house and almost has sex with the girlfriend. However, he couldn't because he would have to take his shoes off. I mean really? It also has one of the dumbest twists I've ever seen on film. So, overall the movie is just dumb and my only response while watching it was utter confusion at what complete trash I was witnessing. It's almost worth watching because of just how ridiculous it is, almost.

This is the best Adam Sandler movie ever! First off I am not a huge Sandler fan.. His movies are repetitious and they're pretty easy to figure out, that being said; this film is a rare gem where Sandler films are concerned.Interesting and original story line, not the same mundane humor that we are so used to seeing. It's something a little different, that those with a unique perspective on things will appreciate.I don't want to say more without giving it away, so let me say this... It is well worth watching and I would recommend this to an Adam Sandler fan and to those of us that aren't.

Setting aside the cringeworthy religious message at the end, the film had great potential, which was unrealised. Sandler gave an excellent performance. Unfortunately, the lovely, engaging premise was ill-served by the crime/slapstick elements. The central idea of stepping into someone else's shoes had the potential to make for an intelligent, thoughtful, witty film. Instead, my suspicion is the producers wouldn't got for that and went for the easy option.The dialogue and performances were good generally. But the line about the keeper of soles/souls was toe-curlingly bad.There is a good film in there - it was just that I had some trouble finding it.
