Overview
A man who lost his family in the September 11 attack on New York City runs into his old college roommate. Rekindling the friendship is the one thing that appears able to help the man recover from his grief.
This is the story of a Manhattan dentist (Don Cheadle) that stumbles across his college roommate (Adam Sandler) years after Sandler’s family had died on 9/11. Sandler had become a shell of his former self and as the story unfolds you see the depths to which Sandler had sunk. I never thought I’d say this but Sandler stole the movie. He was decent in the first half of the movie but it was right about that time that he had a couple of scenes that really made the movie. Who knew? The movie was still fairly flawed but the good scenes were still good enough to carry the movie.
