Adam Sandler stars in the first trailer for The Cobbler. Sandler stars as Max Simpkin, a New York City cobbler that has repaired shoes in shop his family has owned for generations. One day he discovers a magical old sewing machine that allows him to become any person whose shoes he wears.

A cobbler gets shoes from all kinds of people who live all kinds of lives. From the handsome guy the handsome guy (Dan Stevens) with a gorgeous girlfriend, a guy who has some very scary business associates (Method Man), and even his own father (Dustin Hoffman). Walking a mile in someone else's shoes shows Max that other people's lives aren't always what they seem.
