Add a CommentI find Adam Sandler movies are a bit hit and miss for me, but this role was quite different. Generally speaking, I am also not a huge fan of the drama genre. But I think this one was worth watching. It's not a movie that I would need to watch again, but it was certainly worth seeing once.
Beautiful movie, very underrated. This is one I would like to own.
Adam Sandler did brilliantly in this, as I think he doesn't normally play drama roles well. Overall a good movie, even though it was a little slow for me at times. I would recommend seeing this movie, as it is well put together, and will keep you well entertained.
Adam Sandler and Don Cheadle at their best! Funny, sad and moving. Not sure my husband would watch it but I loved it.
Adam Sandler has labeled himself with the comedian title, so it was difficult to take him seriously in this role. Besides which, I normally dislike his acting style. However, this movie was much needed considering the current position society takes towards the mentally ill. There are a few scenes in which Sandler shines as a victim of post traumatic stress disorder.
Very unusual to see Adam Sandler in this type of role.
I dislike both Adam Sandler and American chauvinism, so was prepared to loathe this movie. Instead, I found an original, insightful drama about trauma, friendship, trust, and the mysteries of the human heart. Almost gave it 4 stars.
Adam Sandler, a comedian who I really do not like, was brilliant in this movie, as a widower from 9/11 who has gone over the edge mentally. There are funny moments, but overall, it's a sad situation. Don Cheadle is great as his old college roommate who wants to reconnect but realizes it just won't happen. Some scenes didn't make sense: after Sandler goes crazy, breaking furniture in Cheadle's office, why did Cheadle allow him to come in another time? Why didn't Adam's motorized scooter get stolen from the New York streets -- surely a chain wouldn't deter a thief?
