One hint, 6 chances, and a new movie to guess every day
A man who lost his family in the September 11 attack on New York City runs into his old college roommate. Rekindling the friendship is the one thing that appears able to help the man recover from his grief.
"'Hope Lives Within Me' is a simple drama in premise and structure, and even if the post-9/11 theme feels a bit forced, it's a story that knows how to delve into the pain of loss and the feeling of senselessness. This is, in large part, thanks to Adam Sandler, who offers a surprising dramatic performance far from his typical simplistic comedies, forming a vulnerable and believable character with his moments of humor here and there (more akin to another of his great performances in 'Punch-Drunk Love'). Don Cheadle ('Hotel Rwanda: The Massacre') also delivers a solid job as emotional support, accompanied by an ensemble cast featuring Jada Pinkett Smith ('The Matrix Reloaded'), Liv Tyler ('The Lord of the Rings') and Donald Sutherland ('Pride and Prejudice')."
