The Cobbler Reviews

This movie was good once got past the first half hour. almost shut it off i told myself give it ten more min. really good story line and end.

I don't know what's really going on with Adam Sandler in the recent years, he was actually out of the league for a while from entertaining his fans. All he did was overdose comedies which were below par compared to his earlier movies. I said in 'Blended' review that I'm tired of his movie, but watched it only because of the director. All his films were very impressive and I believed him on this one, more than the Sandler. Otherwise, it would have been undoubtedly a skippable flick.

As expected the movie was good, but not without the flaws, I mean the major ones because there are many unanswered stuffs that leaves viewers go either way from thinking all the possibility to create their own imagination. Hope that's not the case, the writers do not want to be that smart otherwise it will be a messed up movie with having a wonderful theme idea.



Yeah, I liked the concept, but it should have been a bit detail while exploring the story and exhibiting the characters. I still feel it can be covered in the follow-up, so from that perspective, the movie was decent. Especially highlighting one of the social issue was a nice addition, but the portrayal of family affair was a disappointment. It's that kind of story demanded in a like manner, but that does not convince me at all.

From the Adam Sandler's perspective the movie was much better, because of his series of recent fails. At the same time it was a bit letdown from the perspective of the director known for his cool works. Overall, it lays on 50-50, and mostly favours on the positive side because of the narration of the dark comedy in a style. And again, I felt the end was terrible with cliche. I definitely give thumbs up to go for it, even though the loopholes the creative concept draws our attention.

6.5/10

I been looking forward to checking this out as the concept is really neat and unique. I enjoy Adam Sandler, but he has been having a lot of stinkers for awhile such as Jack & Jill or the Grown Ups films. Anyways this looked like he actually was trying to do something worth checking out. I see that there are a lot of naysayers giving this one bad reviews. I will still be watching for myself to see if it truly is as bad as I hear or not. I actually really enjoyed this. It's funny in all the right ways in my opinion. The acting is just great and I do enjoy whenever Adam Sandler takes on slightly more serious characters. I liked all the characters and his reactions as the people he becomes. I do wish it went more in depth with the idea of being in someone else's shoes. There were some good twists and turns that I didn't totally see coming. It had some moments that really pulled at the heart strings. The ending made me think if this had done better it could have a sequel.

Pros:
-A fresh and fun idea
-Good acting and characters
-Laugh out loud moments
-It gives a good message

Cons:
-Would have liked to see more of other peoples shoes

Anyways this was far from awful. I rarely laugh out loud towards a movie, but this one got me a bit. If you enjoy Adam Sandler you might like this one. If you don't then that's why this probably went on your crap list. See it or not it gives a good message.
