The premise is a spaceman signs up for a year long mission. Halfway through the mission, his wife is tired of waiting for him and wont even talk to him on the phone.
The wife is portrayed sympathetically, but she seems to be immature and selfish. The husband comes off as a wimp who accepts that his wife's rejection of him is his fault.
Soldiers go to war and don't see their families for years. Explorers are often gone over a year. Men and women managed. The premise of this movie is that women and men are too sensitive to endure anything like that now.
Sandler's character falls apart from loneliness. His wife seems completely unreasonable in her demands. There is nothing manly about him or feminine about her. Did anyone else notice this?
