If you want an action-packed romance or a movie that will have you in tears then no, this isn't the movie for you. But if you wish to hear the story about how broken people - normal, non-dramatic people - can be healed by love, don't miss it. Adam Sandler is good and wins your compassionate heart over. It's not a love story or a new story, but it holds the truth of our daily lives. If you have love in your heart watch it. The plot is good and the acting is great. The music is appropriate, but it's the lyrics that makes it special. Look upon yourself and decide: do I appreciate the little things in life? If the answer is yes you have to watch it!enjoy.. |

I thought that Adam Sandler did a great acting job in this movie. It was a really different role for him and I thought he pulled it off well. I thought that the movie was a bit slow in places, but I overall really enjoyed it. I thought it was sad and touching. A good movie overall. |

A movie that carries a hefty hallmark "made for t.v." quality. Which equals - Murky performances, Poor pacing, Raggedy dialogue, and an attempt to smother you with sappy, sticky Emotion. (which of course turns out all wrong.)
I sense that Sandler's "Charlie Fineman" (a name that was uttered to the point of irritation, God forbid I ever meet an actual "Charlie Fineman"...) was intended to be a lovable mess, a hardened sweetie we can't help but adore despite him being just a little rough-around-the-edges...with the unkempt salt & peppery Tim Burton hairstyle crumpled by his always present earphones, and his all around ramshackle Bob Dylan-ness...but Failure. He annoyed rather than appealed, and every other character involved is dimensionless and bland.
It's cluttered with pointless... |

Frustratingly slow. There were some really sad moments here, specifically when Adam Sandler finally opens up in the psychiatrist's office. Otherwise, for a story about a 9/11 victim, it's extremely lowkey to the point where I got kind of bored hearing the characters speak because they rarely say anything profound. With a little bit more focus and cutting this film a good twenty to thirty minutes, it would have been pretty good. By the time the conclusion presents itself, I hardly cared because I couldn't wait for the melancholy to end. There is one good thing about this movie: I am now convinced that Adam Sandler can carry on dramatic roles. Now that he's getting older, it would be interesting if he decides to immerse himself with serious dramatic films rather than raunchy, shallow comedi... |
