Did anyone else see this, by chance?
This movie caught me totally off-guard.
I guess I just mistook the commercials. I knew the premise - Adam Sandler's family died in one of the 9/11 planes, and he's been coping rather poorly since. Cheadle, his former college roommate, tries to reconnect - but I was expecting a movie that started in this sad place, then progressed to a lighter, happier psuedo-comedy as Cheadle helped Sandler return to a "normal" life and enjoy life again.
Wow, that was kind off base.
The movie is very, very well done, and I highly recommend it, but at least for me, it's a very depressing movie, and somewhat difficult to watch.
Sandler and Cheadle were both fantastic in the film - Sandler specifically was just incredibly good.
Just wondering if others took away a different feeling from this. I felt left with a sense of depression and hopelessness, myself, but i'm not exactly sure that's what the movie was trying to convey and I wonder if someone else had a different reaction?
