Sam (2015) watch online HD

This film starts incredibly slowly. The camera work and lighting are good, but if it weren't for that, it would play like a college film project. The dialogue is slow, and predictable, with unnecessary pauses and characters feeling very 2 dimensional. The pacing was painful at the beginning, which had me reaching for the remote just looking for a scene change. Once Natalie enters the picture however, the energy improves, though the pace and timing never fully recover.

Fortunately Natalie's energy and interesting character choices made this film entertaining enough (at least relative the the price I paid) to see the movie through to the end.

In the end, despite its reasonable-budget looking visual style, a well acted female lead, and beautiful cityscape cinematography worthy of a much better production, this movie is a slow, occasionally funny, but largely forgettable comedy that will have you wondering what else you could have done with the last 2 hours of your life.

I happened upon this lovely film by chance and am very glad I did.

Natalie Knepp is absolutely wonderful as the former horrible man turned lovely woman. She is a rising star and I shall be watching her future roles with interest.

All the characters were believable and well played. The story, though done many times before was given a fresh look and just enough empathy to tug the heartstrings.

The usual clichés,though there,were not done to death and the metamorphosis from slug to beautiful butterfly was lovely to watch.

A pretty film indeed.

I stumbled upon this film by accident as I have never heard about this film before and decided to check it out Sam is the latest body swapping film that centers on a guy named Sam who is a real womamizer and can't even get a girlfriend because his not the settling down guy. His best mates with a guy named Doc and decides to go to a party. That evening however he stumbles into a shop where his offered tea. Of course the next morning he wakes up as a woman who behaves like a guy and is rather foul-mouthed. Problems arise however when he as a girl falls for his best friend Doc. Will Sam go back to being a womanizing jerk or as a beautiful woman? Also could the tea that Sam drank turned him as a woman? Overall this film is very silly. I only caught bits and pieces of it and the editing is kinda off. I was also surprised by the ending of it which may surprise you guys.

"Sam" and "Switch" are two movies made 24 years apart. The difference is "Sam" is actually funny, sweet and takes chances while "Switch" is dated, mean-spirited, and cops out with it's premise.

"Sam" is low budget and not as polished as a major studio romantic comedy but it certainly has more heart than most. It has a clever script, some famous supporting players and an amazing leading lady. You'll fall in love with Natalie Knepp. She gives an amazing performance. Mad Men's Salvatore also has a cameo that steals the show. This movie is sweet and will pleasantly surprise you if you give it half a chance.

I'm giving it a 10 out of 10 because even though it's got problems and not the most cinematic film it surprised me, made me laugh and genuinely made me care about the characters.

Although I will admit to having slightly enjoyed this comedy, it doesn't feel like a real movie. It feels like a christian woman's guilty gay fanfiction. Thank god for Natalie Knepp, because the scenes when sam is a man are absolutely terrible. Bad acting? Poor screenplay? Horrible chemistry between the characters? Any of these is a good guess when it comes to the reason why the first fifteen minutes want to make you kill someone. Nothing makes any sense and the movie acts as if you should just disregard that and go with it. Sam as a man isn't just your run-of-the-mill rom-com asshole, he's a straight-up dick with no respect for anyone but himself, including his "best friend". Is it because he's apparently in love with him? Do these feelings only appear when he is a girl? All great questions the movie DOESN'T ANSWER. The love story makes NO SENSE and somehow it's still the best part about this movie. I have read work by children that makes more sense than this movie. If you expect a good movie, i suggest you move on to something else, if you're bored and have barely any standards, this is the movie for you.

Basically - stick with it until the end. The first fifteen minutes seem awkward and rushed. We are given the idea that 'Sam' is a horrible person. Then Sam gets his come-uppance and becomes 'Samantha'. This is when the movie gets going and is all the better for it. There are no gratuitous nude shots to prove 'Sam' has lost some bits and gained others. Acting wise Natalie Knepp is excellent in the role and the character of 'Doc' gets better as the film progresses. Natalie Knepp is funny and endearing as the 'Dude' in a womans body. When she blossoms in to the beautiful woman we expect, she still carries a mischevious air of the man still lurking inside. This is a much more modern take on movies such as 'Switch'. The idea of gender inequality is tackled, workplace sexual predators and the reason why women often seem 'clued-in' while us guys are confused about life and relationships. I loved the ending and I will say no more than that. Give it a chance, I think you may be suprised.

Nice plot, about a man with womanizer skills and behavior, who gets his 'punishment' by transforming into a women, and from that point he encounter uncommon experiences as someone of the opposite sex.

The movie is vibrant and will make you laugh here and there and to smile for the most part of it, seems to take some inspirations from the popular TV show of the same kind Lalola or 'It's a boy girl thing' movie from 2006.

After a nice performance on the Nashville film festival, the movie will also be ready on screen at the Soho international film festival, and should get a nice amount of viewers, as it's been a some time now since anyone took this genre to the big screen.

a guy turned into a girl who don't like girls much and when he changed into it then he realized what is it all about he feel how's girls feel and just then she/he got fallen love with some of his best friend and this is much interesting way to show he fall with it however they thought we was guys but one of them now changed in girl so they got different chemistry and in last part i was just loved it the dude who turned into girl got a chance to get back what she was but she just didn't choose it got fallen love with his friend and chooses a girls life this movie also presents a different perspective to understand woman and overall very very nice movie i don't know why very less people rated it and why it's Rating is very low none of my business well you can see how much i love this movie in my rating

After reading the positive reviews here, I thought that this was possibly one of those underrated movies that don't catch on because the plot was too feminist-driven or silly or whatever. Boy, was I wrong.

At first I thought the acting was bad (and it was at times), but then I realized that it wasn't the actors as much as it was a combination of a terrible script, terrible direction and sub-par production.

I expected the movie to play up some of the gender norm clichés, so as to highlight the change from Sam to Samantha. But this movie goes further than that. It is clear that everybody involved in the final production of this movie has never met a real person in their life. The clichés were not funny but offensive. I have to imagine this movie was written by some rich kid in Beverly Hills and their connected parents helped to pay for production.

Every character was a ridiculous caricature. I don't know who I am offended for more, men or women. Even the non-gender things were clichéd, like the names of things. Every line felt like it was written by a young high school student. I mean there's concise, and then there is straight to the point regardless as to whether the dialogue is believable or not.

This movie was not funny, not smart, not well put together, and not worth your time.

I gave it three stars: The first because it IS a movie. The second for giving out-of work actors some screen time. ...?

"Sam" is a playboy misogynist who drinks tea and gets transferred into a woman's body (Natalie Knepp). He confides this in his best friend gynecologist (Sean Kleier) who is skeptical until the DNA test comes back. Sam works for a model supply agency who uses women who are "skinny, stupid, and drugged out of their mind." The film incorporates many of the same jokes that was in the superior film Blake Edwards' "Switch" (Ellen Barkin-1991) nominated for a Golden Globe. I couldn't help but mentally compare the two films while watching "Sam". The part of Lulu (Morgan Fairchild) would have made the film more interesting if they used Ellen Barkin reviving her old role as Amanda Brooks. But once again, I wasn't the target audience.

I am sure people who have not watched "Switch" might hail this film as a new refreshing comedy as does the cast. I felt more deja vu than entertained.

Guide: F-word. Brief sex. No nudity.

Simple story and very enjoyable. My first time seeing Natalie Knepp. And she was good.

This is another remake ripoff with no credit as to where these retards stole their idea from. "Switch" or even this load of crap should at least give credit to the original sexist spin off of "Freaky Friday" named "Cleo/Leo (1989)". And yes they went back that far.....but not far enough to rape and pillage the original idea....still awaiting the bluray release....

I stumbled across this movie quite by chance, and I have to say, I rather liked it. I believe the main reason was that I was able to identify with the lead (Andrew, played by Sean Kleier) better than, for example, Jimmy Smit's character in Switch. The charm of Natalie Knepp has to take a large slice of credit for that attribute of the film, of course, and while it was a bit of a surprise, being able to relate to a romance with such a background, Ms. Knepp made that very, very easy.

Naturally, there were a few things I didn't particularly like (or perhaps "agree with" would be a better way to put it).

Firstly, the level of profanity. I felt there were too many F-words and B-words (the five letter variety, ending in "tch") and was slightly perturbed by just how foul-mouthed the new Samantha could be at first. Having said that, I realise that not only did most of the swearing take place in private situations, but that it formed part of Samantha's development from immaturity to maturity. I do feel that toning down to a few more gods, damns and hells would not have gone amiss in the circumstances, but I have to say that Samantha's final foray into blue language, where she switches mid-sentence, is perfect.

Secondly, It was a pity that the original Sam was as bad a misogynist as he was set up to be. If he had had obvious redeeming qualities, if he had just been a young man with a mild attachment disorder subconsciously avoiding commitment, if Margaret's belief that he really had a romantic heart had been true, then the ending would have been all the more poignant. There would have been no right answer for Samantha.

Thirdly, the production looked a little underdone: some cheap-looking sets, some strange camera angles, too many long takes uninterrupted by alternative angles, some scenes looking under-rehearsed. However, I believe the movie was (at least partly) self-financed by director Nicholas Brooks and his father Mel. Therefore these complaints become forgivable, unimportant details.

Back to the plot, though. The movie starts with Sam Wellman, misogynist, being dealt a fitting punishment by unceremoniously dumping him into the shoes of those he has mistreated in the past. Waking up one morning as the beautiful Natalie Knepp, she now finds that no-one, including the doorman of her apartment block, knows who she is.

A little luck, with Sam's DNA records (from a paternity suit!) convincing her former best friend of her identity, and with her employer accepting her on "Sam's" recommendation (not unreasonable in a small business) sets her on the right track.

Working for a PR company, though, it is inevitable that a makeover becomes compulsory at some point, and that takes place at the hands of image consultant Alexander Blondell, played to perfection by Bryan Batt, deliciously filling the role of the fairy (ahem!) godmother in teaching Samantha what she needs to know.

Samantha surprises herself by starting to form close relationships with people, both male and female, that she didn't properly know before; people that she didn't particularly respect, and who didn't previously like her as Sam. She now finds herself supporting others, and influencing them for the better.

From there, the story develops into a romantic comedy in the classic mould, with the two leads, unwillingly thrown together by circumstance, unexpectedly finding themselves warming to each other, and ultimately being faced with a dilemma that threatens to tear their new-found happiness apart. I can absolutely, one hundred percent, empathize with Andrew as he watches Samantha metamorphose from an aggrieved, foul-mouthed little firecracker into an elegant beauty, and as he struggles to keep the relationship platonic.

The movie, on the whole, does not cop out of its premise, as you will find out upon watching it. Indeed, when Andrew directly asks Samantha what it is like to be a woman, her answer comes as rather a surprise, because it is neither anatomical nor sexual.

Don't watch this movie expecting a big-budget blockbuster like Notting Hill. Don't watch it expecting to be titillated by sex differences. Watch it for what it is: a romcom with both a fair measure of charm, and a quirky twist to set it apart from the pack.

Above all, enjoy it. The last half hour is absolutely great.
