Top Reviews By Critics

Bilge Ebiri | New York Magazine/Vulture  

 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.
Full Review

Molly Eichel | Philadelphia Inquirer

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

Gary Goldstein | Los Angeles Times

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

Esther Zuckerman | Entertainment Weekly 

 What starts off as a potentially charming fantasy never finds its footing.
Full Review

Kerry Lengel | Arizona Republic 

 "The Cobbler" definitely won't please the audience for Sandler's mainstream blockbusters, and it's unlikely to win him new fans among the indie intelligentsia, either.
Full Review

Bruce Demara | Toronto Star

 Fans of Adam Sandler are a hardy lot, impervious to the derision of friends and family and the slings and arrows his films frequently attract from critics. The Cobbler is likely to test their mettle.
Full Review

Andy Webster | New York Times  

 The sophomoric humor may be absent, but in its place is only a soufflé of whimsy, seasoned with soot, that fails to rise.
Full Review

Amy Nicholson | L.A. Weekly

 The Cobbler has invented a new category of terrible: cruel schmaltz
Full Review

Peter Travers | Rolling Stone 

 It's a toxic smear of curdled whimsy about a New York shoe-repair man (a lumbering Adam Sandler), who transforms into his customers when he puts on their shoes. The film is beyond awful.
Full Review

Stephen Whitty | Newark Star-Ledger 

 Maybe there's a good movie in here somewhere - or would have been, more than 40 years ago, with Judd Hirsch as the shoemaker. Or nearly 60 years ago, as a quick "Twilight Zone" episode. But as it's done today, it's just forced and unfunny and fake.
Full Review

A.A. Dowd | AV Club 

 Flamboyant caricatures and casual prejudice have always been cornerstones of the Adam Sandler empire, and The Cobbler is no exception.
Full Review

Lou Lumenick | New York Post    

 A painfully earnest and totally unfunny magic-realist fable set on the Lower East Side that works in no way whatsoever.
Full Review

Rex Reed | New York Observer 

 It revives the pleasant art of storytelling most of today's young filmmakers have all but abandoned, and cures (temporarily, anyway) my allergy to Adam Sandler.
