I can only guess this movie came out at the wrong time; the dark comedy of Shakes didn't play well when I saw it years ago on VHS. I've watched it twice in the last couple years and it certainly hits the funny bone.
Without spoilers, it's the tale of a low life clown in a low life world... Down on his luck, he has to rescue his Girlfriend.
The cast is good- Julie Brown is a scene stealer, Adam Sandler stands out (he's far less a buffoon than his own flicks), and Bobcat as the lead is great. Tom Kenney is absolutely nutty and threatening as the villain. (I firmly believe he would play a menacing version of The Joker should another actor ever be needed).
Give the movie a chance-- it's a welcome surprise to be sure.
