I didn't think I would say this but light drama does suit Adam Sandler. I've always thought of him as a comedian and I didn't think casting him in this movie would work. But it did!

The movie is poignant partly because it touches on a topic that deeply affects us all: 9/11 and also because it tackles that desire to be free of what society dictates and to just not take crap from anyone.

I can't say acting is superb. It's just okay. The movie also tries to inject humor in emotional scenes. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. It is a movie though that will make you think.

If you don't find it appealing enough to watch at the onset, my advice would be to just give this movie a try or the benefit of the doubt. More likely than not, you won't regret watching it.
