Alan (Cheadle) is a well-to-do dentist
with a family and beautiful apartment but he is not happy. He runs into his
roommate from dental school Charlie (Sandler) who is a wreck because he lost
his family in 9/11.
Sandler looks like a young Bob Dylan. I
like Cheadle a lot but not his character here. The story is lame without any of
the emotional impact one would expect.
The music is good – the Pretenders, Bruce Springsteen – which raises it ½ *
2
½ * of 5
