Reign Over Me (R) 7.5

Reign Over Me (2007): A man who lost his family in the September 11 attack on New York City runs into his old college roommate. Rekindling the friendship is the one thing that appears able to help the man recover from his grief. (7.7)

Director: Mike Binder
Stars: Adam Sandler, Don Cheadle and Jada Pinkett Smith

Going in, I knew this was going to be a movie about loss and heart break. Still, the way the writer/director decided to portray the story touches you. Adam Sandler is good in a serious role. Don Cheadle is superb, as usual. I suppose, if you watch it with a crowd, it does have laugh out loud funny moments, but to me it was quite a serious movie throughout. Half way through, I knew the story should have an open ending and it was. My Rating: 7.5
