One of the first films to examine the aftermath of post- 9/11 New York City, Reign Over Me shows how much even indirect contact with those who lost loved ones in the tragedy can greatly affect. Like rings of debris spiraling out from an explosion, Charlie Fineman's (Adam Sandler) loss also devastates his in-laws, who he refuses to speak to, and ex-college roommate, Alan Johnson. Reign Over Me stars Johnson, a successful dentist with a gorgeous wife, Janeane (Jada Pinkett Smith) and two kids, who finds Charlie reverted back into a teenage wasteland, unable to face his unbearable sadness. Sandler as Charlie looks like Bob Dylan and acts like Dustin Hoffman in his great dramatic performance. Listening to The Who and The Boss through headphones, playing video games, and continually remodeling his kitchen, Fineman's escapism disturbs Johnson, who, in turn, feels squelched by his stiflingly normal lifestyle. As the two reacquaint, Johnson is the only person who can help save Fineman from self-obliteration. The story analyzes Post Traumatic Stress with some accuracy, though excess sentimentality undermines emotional scenes. Survivor's guilt, assessing mental illness, and absolute incapacitation due to grief are all topics covered within the bounds of the enduring friendship forged between these two men. Ultimately, Reign Over Me's message is one of compassion, as a reminder to treat victims of loss with patience and care. But interestingly, it also pays heed to smaller human tribulations, which are obstacles to healing when left untreated. --Trinie Dalton

Some people erect altars to the people who're gone. Others carry those memories in their hearts and see their lost ones in faces on the street, flowers, butterflies. Everyone mourns differently and takes their own time to process those feelings. This film is a tale about deep mourning and learning to respect differences in how people react to shock and tragedy.
"Reign on Me" is a tale of loss and how different people deal with it. Charlie Fineman (Sandler) lost his wife and three ... Read More

Now, who would watch this, really? A former dentist whose family was killed on 9/11 suffers from PTS while Don Cheadle tries to snap him out of it for two hours. There are no laughs, but, strangely, there are no tears here either. It's just an unrelenting downer, though it does have a somewhat Hollywood ending. Sandler's mumbling gets annoying, and when he tries to commit suicide by cop, he still ends up free, which probably would never happen in real life. Watch this if you want to be bummed out for ...

Reign Over Me is an amazing and ultimately uplifting film.
The movie tells the story of Alan Johnson (Don Cheadle), a Manhattan dentist who's feeling a bit stifled by his life. Everything looks good from the outside - a successful dental practice, a beautiful wife that loves him, sweet kids - but he finds himself oddly closed off and non-communicative.
Alan is driving one day, and he catches sight of Charlie Fineman (Adam Sandler), his college roommate from dental school. Alan ... Read More

Really good movie about two guys who are trapped in their lives - one by tragedy, one by stagnation. I actually really like Adam Sandler when he does serious roles (Spanglish, Anger Management), much moreso than his comedies. He plays the same character a bit, but it works for me. And Don Cheadle is really strong as his counterpart who tries to help Sandler (who has lost his way after losing his family in the 9/11 attacks). Some mediocre subplots get in the way of this being a 5-star movie, but I was still ... Read More
