Robin Williams is better known for his comedy than his dramatic skills but he sure proves his acting range can stretch from doing silly comedies to doing thrillers. His character, Sy Parrish, is a disturbed man. He's lonely in the first place. He really has nobody but becomes fixated on this family while working at a one hour photo booth. Robin Williams can make you feel sorry and empathy for this man who is obviously desperate for a family of his own or something to connect with in life. Sy gets desperate and does things aren't so forgivable or forgettable. His sad life is brought brilliantly to the screen by Robin Williams who is almost unrecognizable in this role. He really can act beyond the silliness and develop his Juillard talents beyond comedies.
