Oy Vey! The old Sand Man has done it again! I mean really, can this guy ever do anything wrong when it comes to the magic of movies? Just look back at his greatest hits such as, "Jack and Jill", "Punch Drunk Love", and "Little Nicky"! Boy, if you ask me it doesn't get any better than these slap stick comedies of our generation. WTF? Sandler, although very likable and great if your mindset is from 6 to 13 years old, has made some real crap over the years. The best part, he has made millions off of said crap, and someone like me, a big critic of his, continues to watch his stuff repeatedly! What the hell is wrong with us? If you haven't figured out this movie just by looking at the cover ill break it down for you. Schlep shoe cobbler living in the burrows of NYC finds he has a magic sewing machine in the basement. When he uses it on his customers shoes and puts them on, he turns into that person. Great idea, actually not that bad of a movie, and with his usual entourage of actors involved, its laughable. What more is there to say about these type of movies, my 7 and 12 year old loved it, I was intrigued (after 4 vodka's), and was entertained from start to finish. One of the things I like best about Sandler, is he said he doesn't even read the critics reviews, only counts his money from the film. Bravo! I just hope this hits his desk and he allows me to write the commentary for all of his movie posters. Give this one a shot, its not to bad, not to mention you can escape into the story thinking of how great it would be to have that machine!
FYI: This is Sandler and Buscemi's 10th film together.
