Movie Review: "The Soloist"

This movie involves the relationship between a homeless schizophrenic Julliard trained musician, Nathaniel Ayers, and faltering LA Time reporter Steve Lopez. While looking for an interesting story, Lopez discovers Ayers under an overpass near the Disney Concert Hall. Through his chaotic relationship with Ayers, Lopez gradually discovers what it means to be a true friend. Robert Downy Jr. and Jamie Foxx excel in their respective roles. This interesting plot never quite fully develops. The ending is somewhat open ended.
