Review of The Cobbler (2014) by Raji K — 17 Oct 2015

Adam Sandler is Max Simkin, as simple cobbler who runs his own shoe store in New York. He lives a normal life until he comes across the fact that a family heirloom is needed to help stitch some soles. He discovers this instrument allows him to become whoever shoes he fixes with the machine.

Using this he becomes various other characters which include Dustin Hoffmann, his father, and a local hoodlum played by Method Man. He uses this to help save the neighborhood. The Cobbler is an interesting movie that had an interesting premise.

Perhaps a different cast and angle would have had critics enjoying this more, but I was pleasantly surprised.
