One of the most scathingly reviewed films at this year’s Toronto International Film Festival was The Cobbler, the latest film from Thomas McCarthy. That is disappointing because Thomas McCarhy generally makes pretty good stuff, with The Station Agent, The Visitor and Win Win. However, hearing the fantastical premise of the film starring Adam Sandler, I had my suspicions about it.
The Cobbler, which still does not have a release date in the US, has a new international trailer, which you can watch below. After hearing the just venomous word of mouth coming out of this film, it is extremely difficult to care or have any sort of excitement for this film. It does not help I am not a Sandler fan in the slightest. Is there anyone out there interested in this?
Again, here is the trailer.
A lonely New York shoe repairman (Adam Sandler) starts to sense he’s let life pass him by — going nowhere while fixing the shoes of more-assertive customers taking vacations and living adventures. Things change, though, when he discovers a family heirloom that magically lets him “walk in another man’s shoes” and see the world differently.
