Sound Bite: Adam Sandler & Don Cheadle
Don – Well uh Adam and I met at Mike Binder’s house I think for a hot dog party Adam – Yes, Binder fly’s in Hot dogs from Michigan, he’s from Detroit and this particular hot dog joint he likes and apparently all his Detroit friends do live out here now so he flies in hot dogs. We were invited luckily, how’d you like those hot dogs by the way? Don – good hot dogs, it’s a fine hot dog Adam – fine hot dog, fine frank footer Don – that’s right Adam – And then we hung out at that party, but I, I, you know we have mutual friends, I heard how great Cheadle was as a guy a bunch of times |

Sound Bite: Adam Sandler & Don Cheadle
Don – Uhm well I mean Adam – I think he did Don – he knew that, when I met Adam, Mike, I mean, Sorry when I met Mike I knew that Adam was involved in the movie and uh he just wanted us to meet because I think he thought correctly that we would hit it of and you know that it would be good to have us build this relationship that we were going to have to rediscover in the movie. |

Sound Bite: Adam Sandler & Don Cheadle
Don – Yeah I mean he’s defiantly cheating on his relationship you know it doesn’t matter who it’s with, he’s cheating on the relationship, he’s not being faithful to the things that are going to make that relationship work and I don’t think that’s it’s malicious I just think it’s what happens a lot of times in a relationship when your with somebody so long and you start taking them for granted and the next thing you know you’re not plugging them into the things that are going on in your life and you look up and how did we get here, I think that’s where he find himself so its great when he finds you know Charlie, it’s not really this altruistic I want to help this guy its like I want to escape, I want to get away from my little problems, its not until they start to grow closer that he finds out he really needs him. |

Sound Bite: Adam Sandler & Don Cheadle
Adam – I just uhm my guys who uhm find stuff called me up ‘hey take a look at this’ and I read it, the first time I thought it was an amazing script but honestly I think I was more excited to see the movie with a great actor on my part, I was like I hope they get somebody good for that cause I cant do that man (talks) I swear to god I said no in the beginning because I was too scared to do it, I was just afraid of it. And then like a month later I read it again and I started getting, partially I was thinking if I do see someone else in that part I’m probably going to be mad at myself because it’s such a great role and such a great story and I just committed to it (talks) You’re right I mean its not like a, it wasn’t a typical thing cause I was pigeon holding, I think I can do a lot of stuff but this one I was afraid of 100 % and I didn’t know if I could do it and I just, I ultimately just gave it a shot. Don – And it’s a big thing if you don’t do it right you know especially for Adams character Adam – exactly yeah Don – the real survivors of this who are walking around dealing with it, he’s carrying a lot of weight. |

Sound Bite: Adam Sandler & Don Cheadle – talks about accepting the challenge of playing a different character.
Adam – I’ve done stuff that I actually, when I did Spanglish and Punch Drunk love I was safe, I felt safe there anyways cause of the material, I just connected with it. This guy I was just having to do not my life at all and I had to just make uh a whole new characters life up and I uhm, I was afraid to do it. But like I said I accepted the challenge and I’m glad I did. |

Sound Bite: Adam Sandler & Don Cheadle
Adam – I cant believe that you’re right I didn’t know it was gonna be as funny in the movie (talks) that’s true and Cheadle is hilarious in the movie I cant I’m, when I saw the movie in the first time in Seattle Mike Binder kept, the guy who wrote it and directed it kept telling me oh this is really funny, this is really funny I was like what the hell is this guy talking about? And then I saw Cheadle uh in front of a crowd destroy, I kept going it’s like Eddie Murphy or something why is this killing as hard as it is and uh it just it does get into heavy places a lot throughout the movie so its not just a you know its not a typical comedy. Don – I think that it helps that you know the lighter moments really help the heavier moment land. |
