The story

What Is Loose Shoes About?

The premise of Loose Shoes without spoilers.

The film riffs on cinema with a rapid succession of parody trailers, lampooning everything from “The Howard Huge Story” and “Skate‑boarders from Hell” to “The Invasion of the Penis Snatchers,” an imagined early Woody Allen piece, Charlie Chaplin homages, war epics, Billy Jack and more. The origin of the title is revealed about an hour in.
