Drama

Once in a while a film comes along that touches the heart and puts you emotionally into the film. Adam Sandler, as Charlie Fineman, proves that he can play a dramatic role even though Director Mike Binder interplays natural comedy with life's circumstances and the agony and ecstasy of living. Charlie loses his wife and 3 young daughters in a plane crash and leaves his dental practice as a doctor and becomes a bohemian, blocking all memories of the plane that crashed into the Twin Towers that his family was in. Don Cheadle, as Alan Johnson, plays Charlie's dentist friend from college who rediscovers Charlie in his bohemian lifestyle in New York and begins a renewed relationship. Alan is also healed from a failing marriage due to the friendship with Charlie and experiencing Charlie's subcultural and exciting lifestyle; Liv Tyler, Saffron Burrows, Donald Sutherland, Jada Pinkett Smith.

R for language and adult themes.
