I really loved this movie. I wasn’t sure what to expect, as the only other movie in which I’ve seen Adam Sandler play a serious role was a very strange one, and I was pleasantly surprised. The biggest surprise was how funny it was. When you read the description you wouldn’t imagine that you would be able to laugh.
Adam Sandler is Charlie, a former dentist, whose wife and children were on one the planes that crashed into the World Trade Center. This tragedy caused him to completely withdraw from life and block out all memory of his family. One day his old high school roommate Allen, played by Don Cheadle, runs into him on the street and they rekindle their friendship. Allen was looking for something to break up the monotony of his days and instead of a fun filled friendship, he discovers that Charlie is a very damaged man that he must help.
I know it is cliche, but this movie made me laugh and cry. It makes you long for those moments when there was nothing else but you and your best friend and you were having the time of your life. And it makes you long for the times when your best friend was there for you, even when it was hard on them as well.
I think this movie is worth the time. Plus it has lots of good music all the way through, in case your significant other is complaining about sitting through a chick flick. Also look for Jada Pinkett Smith, Liv Tyler, Donald Sutherland and BJ Novak (from The Office!).
