Review of The Cobbler (2014) by Wornoutspines — 13 Mar 2015

The Cobbler is not one of Adam Sandler's over the top, poorly acted and incredibly bad comedies, it's more of a fantasy drama with a comedic tone. I am a big fan of Reign Over Me, I only have great things to say about that film, and every time that I see a drama with Adam Sandler's name stamped on it, I still rush to see it.

The Cobbler has a good premise, and they've paired the interesting.

Premise with nice trailer but what a f***ing let down.

The film has a big, no, huge, pace problem, it's slooowww and as.

Depressing and dull as Max Simkin (Adam Sandler) is the movie. I.

Understand that Max Simkin is not enjoying is life at the beginning of the movie and that is fine. But he stays that way the whole way.

Through, which in this case kills any comedic attempt, in fact the.

Trailer was funnier than the movie was.

Adam Sandler, despite the fact that he is the front man, is not the.

Problem of this film. His performance is decent although it could have been better, it is OK. The guy can be good, he recently showed it in Men, Women, and Children. The same could be said for cast in general, even the worst of them could not have made this movie worse.

The story and the execution seems to be the real problems. Storywise.

The Cobbler is all over the place and does not have consistence or an homogeneous identity. The Cobbler sounds like a fairy-tale, a fable kind of movie, because it looks light and fun. And it actually starts off that way but then the tone, the pace, and the story turns it into something completely different.

I am so disappointed that I'm going to stop now, I'm too annoyed.
