Shakes the Clown (2000, DVD)

It arrived promptly. I wanted to see it because i heard it was Adam sandler 1st movie. I would shop with this ebayer again.

im a avid adam sandler movie collector and this is his first ever role so it is a must have for any adam sandler buff

It's been said this movie is "The 'Citizen Kane' of alcoholic clown movies." That hits it right on the head (though we can't think of any others in that particular category at the moment). It is hilarious and will keep your attention every second. Don't be put off by the opening scene, which is admittedly just a tad gross. There are many classic moments we still find ourselves quoting with glee years after seeing the movie for the first time: watch for Bobcat saying "Had enough?" from a horizontal position on the asphalt outside of the rodeo clown bar. And who can say honestly we've never felt the urge to punch a mime?
If you're offended by off-color humor, profanity, or satire, then go get a Disney flick, but if you want some really funny adult entertainment, Shakes is your man.

I like to Drink and people are always telling me to go to AA and get a life if Shakes can quit so can I, Academy Caliber performance from Bobcat who also wrote and directed this masterpiece, Look for Robin Williams in one of his most self revealing and challenging roles ever achieved, As a mime instuctor, Bringing me to the best part of this film, Where the clowns commit hate crimes against the mimes it is truly a satire of the sad plight of mankind concerning prejudice and social intolerance. I wish Bob Goldthwait was still alive to see how a critical failure upon release, Has so endeared itself to so many veiwers and is finally achieving the recognition it should have obtained upon release. Time will be the final judge of Bobcats Genius.
