This is a great movie. Don Cheadle's performance is amazing. After the film, I was upset that I did not have a friend in my life w/ the personality of Cheadle's character. Current 7.5 rating does not do justice to this movie.

It did seem like he wanted to get away and play for a bit though, spice up his life.

Yes, that is true, he was *somewhat* neglecting his family.

And everyone should strive to BE a friend like Cheadle's character.

That's true. Instead of asking or wanting a friend like Cheadle, we should strive to be him as a friend to someone.
