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.

One of the worst movies I've ever seen.Adam Sandler plays a sociopath that you're supposed to sympathize with; however, one of the first scenes involves him putting the shoes of someone else on, becoming that person, then going to that person's house and almost raping the guy's girlfriend in the shower but then realizing he can't because he would have to take his shoes of and change back into his real self. OMG. WTF.Another scene involves a 2 minute montage of him becoming different people when he puts their shoes on; one of these people happens to be transgender. The montage then stops abruptly to make an incredibly awkward and unfunny joke about transgender people: as he looks in the mirror, he says, "I'm a woman", then he puts his hand in his pants and pulls it out, shaking it in disgust, "No I'm not, no I'm not!"When he's a Chinese person, he goes to chinatown for the first time. When he's a black person, he robs people.The climax involves him, playing the transgender woman, kidnapping a drug dealer. The drug dealer overpowers him and the drug dealer says, "don't worry, I'm not going to shoot you, she-man. I'm going to choke you to death". The man begins to do so, until Sandler kicks him in the neck with his high-heel, killing him. Remember, this is supposed to be a comedy.In the final scene, Steve Buscemi becomes Dustin Hoffman, Adam Sandler's dad, and he tells Adam about how he has learned about what it means to be a cobbler. They get into a limo in the back of a barber shop and drive off into the night, setting up a sequel.

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

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.
