Is it me, or is this basically The Fisher King without the Arthurian pretensions? I much prefer Adam Sandler’s brand of mugging to Robin Williams’, but otherwise this film suffers by comparison- there’s none of Gilliam’s visual flair, and the script takes the easy option one too many times. Still, a perfectly serviceable mainstream exploration of grief, anchored around some very likeable central performances. Great trad rock soundtrack, too, except for some dubious assertions about Bob Seger.
