Review of The Cobbler (2014) by Thegodfatherson — 18 Apr 2015
Yes! Sandler's back! I caught The Cobbler on VOD, and was surprised that it was a Adam Sandler movie. To my surprise, I had fun with it. The movie is a fresh turn from Sandler's poorly acted, gross comedies, I mean this guy made classics! The Longest Yard, The Waterboy and now, The Cobbler.
The movie is funny, I know Sandler has lost his charm over the years, with That's My Boy or Jack and Jill, but the whole thing clicks, well. The Cobbler is a fantasy mixed with comedy, and boy was it intriguing, this may be the most interesting work that Sandler has done! Max Simkin, a shoe repairer, gets a special power, that he can be whoever wore those shoes, it sounds silly, but it works well with what Director Thomas McCarthy wants to introduce.
The critics can pan anything, but their biggest target is Adam Sandler movies, this one, doesn't need panning, it's a GOOD movie. Overall, The Cobbler is a fun, wild ride that may be Sandler's best work yet.
The man IS back.
