I just started watching this one. I'm about half way thru and wow, this is a great movie so far. Adam Sandler is putting on a hell of a performance. So is Cheadle, as usual.
Do it Linder! I can almost guarantee you'll like it.
This was a great movie. Sandler and Cheadle just sucked me into the story and the supporting cast was pretty good too. Ryan from The Office had a funny little part. The amount of humor was perfect, just enough to lighten the mood at times.
I had forgotten what a great song "Love, Reign O'er Me" by The Who is.

Mike Binder wrote the lead role with Tom Cruise in mind, who turned it down.
Brad Pitt was considered for the role of Charlie Fineman.
At first Adam Sandler declined his part because he was terrified of it, although he thought the character was incredible after he read the script. A month later, he reread the script and decided that he wanted to do it.
I'm glad he did it, I don't think it would have been the same with a different actor playing Charlie.
