In what many will call a “searing drama,” a dentist rekindles his friendship with a college classmate who lost his wife and child in the September 11th attacks. Don Cheadle plays Alan, a stable fellow who, like his suffering pal Charlie, has lost something of himself on the road to success. The two men play guitars, go to bars, and enjoy a variety of touching moments with one another. All sounds good—but wait … Is that Adam Sandler as the tragic Charlie? Indeed! And yet another manic comedian (predecessors include Jerry Lewis, Robin Williams, and Jim Carrey) tries to bribe tears and understanding from his followers. An almost-guaranteed craptacular.
