The Cobbler
Max Simkin repairs shoes in the same New York shop that has been in his family for generations. Disenchanted with the grind of daily life, Max stumbles upon a magical heirloom that allows him to step into the lives of his customers and see the world in a new way. Sometimes walking in another man's shoes is the only way one can discover who they really are.

"The Cobbler" is a wildly ill-conceived curio from director Tom McCarthy, who co-wrote with Paul Sado.

"The Cobbler" is almost fascinatingly awful enough to recommend. If one subscribes to the theory that you can learn as much from a bad movie as from a good one, this one's a master class in what not to do.

The quirky magic-realist conceit has great potential but co-writer/director Tom McCarthy fails to bring it to a shine.

Throughout the film's 99 minutes you will find yourself wondering whether this is a genuine black comedy, a family comedy, a dramedy, a cheap-shot drama, or possibly a melodramatic modern-day superhero story about being a good Samaritan.

You don't want to be in Adam Sandler's shoes right now.

The conceit is both ridiculous and clever, but the director, Tom McCarthy, pushes it to facile conclusions without tapping its deeper potential ...

Method Man is the easy standout, proving to be the most memorable piece of a film that embraces its slightness to warm hearts and lets the rest come what may.

Throughout The Cobbler, Sandler himself seems more invested than he's been for a long time. But the rest of this ghastly movie lets him down.

A failed fairy tale with a saccharine, klezmer-inflected tone undercut by the movie's own plot.

A top-of-the-range supporting cast makes this grindingly dull experience almost bearable.

Ugh.
