The Soloist

Tonight I finished watching The Soloist (2009,PG-13).  From ScreenIt!:

A newspaper reporter befriends and tries to help a homeless man whose life and innate musical talent are undermined by his schizophrenia.

I enjoyed it and Foxx and Downey's performances.  It's been criticized for being unfocused and uneven, but the story of someone suffering from schizophrenia would be.

I give it 4 out of 5.
