I was pleasantly surprised with this movie. You wouldn't expect Adam Sandler to do so well in this sort of role. This one made me cry and smile, what more could you ask for. Adam Sandler showed how much range his acting can really have.
I purchased this movie and WOW, hit it right on the nose, I have PTSD and it is an awesome tool to also show anyone how the aftermath of a trauma affects us who have it.

As we come to the tenth anniversary,this film makes me ponder about suffering and hardship.A dentist(Cheadle), tries to keep in touch with his college buddy(Sandler) who lost everything in the aftermath.Sandler is really riveting,as the widower who lost his own family that day.Unfortunately,the court system wants to declare him incompetent.The scenes of rage and anger are compelling,that we wish
