2. Summary

   Perfect 5.0

   This film is AMAZING!!! A must see.
   The story of a average man living an average life, until he sees one of his old college roomates whos family was killed in the September 11th tragedy, and is losing touch with reality. He tries to help him get grounded again and at the same time not slip into the strange world his friend lives in.
   By far one of the greatest films I have ever seen, and that is saying a lot. Don Cheadle and Adam Sandler both give award winning performances. This is a very moving story and put together very well. A movie has never made me cry, but this came closer than anything else I have ever seen, both out of happieness and the pain you feel for the character. I really can’t do this movie the justice it deserves, you just have to see it.

4. Acting

   Perfect 5.0

   Outstanding! Adam Sandler and Don Cheadle both do amazing jobs and the supporting cast is unbelevable. Sandler just has a way in this film to project all the pain and emotions he goes through into the viewer. He has come a long way as an actor, and in this film he really has his “A-game” going.

10. Film

    Perfect 5.0

    Perfect. The whole filming, editing, everything goes towards the general feeling of this movie. I think if all movies were made this way it would put critics out of a job, there is nothing bad you can say about this movie, and with nothing bad to say there is nothing that can be said except, “Once again a perfect movie.”

16. Edge

    Risqué 2.0

    There is some foul language in this movie but nothing that I felt detracted from the film itself. There are also some offered sex acts but that is really it. It is really just the over feeling the movie has, kind of dark and sad.

17. Sex Titillating 2.0

18. Violence Fierce 2.0

19. Rudeness Salty 2.0

21. Reality

    Natural 1.0

    This movie is totally realistic. I am actually surprised that you don’t hear more of this type of thing actually taking place. It makes you ask “What would I do, if it were me?” and it makes you think about it long and hard.
