A dramatic Adam Sandler role is a rare and wonderful thing, the actor delivering his best work when asked to tone his comedic persona way down. He is flexing this dramatic muscle again with The Cobbler, playing a fourth generation shoe maker who finds a way out of his humdrum everyday existence when he discovers the ability to live the lives of the person whose shoes he wears. Coming from The Station Agent and The Visitor writer/director Tom McCarthy, The Cobbler promises to be a heart warming fantasy blending comedy and drama in delightful ways, with Sandler getting fine support from Dustin Hoffman, Dan Stevens, Ellen Barkin, Chris 'Method Man' Smith, and Steve Buscemi.
Released: 10th April 2015 (IRL/U.K.)/ ? (U.S.)
