Reign Over Me

On Tuesday, April 10, 2007, I went to see the movie Reign Over Me, featuring Adam Sandler and Don Cheadle.

This movie is about Charlie, played by Sandler, who used to be a practising dentist. However, he lost his family in 9-11, and he has not been the same since then. Don Cheadle's character bumps into Charlie, and they re-establish the friendship that they had in college.

This movie is kind of about Charlie's journey, until he deals with his emotions of him losing his family. And Cheadle's character has to deal with helping Charlie, reliving his old college lifestyle, lawsuits, sexual advances, and his family.

I usually am not a fan of Adam Sandler, but I think that him playing a more serious character with funny moments makes him more enjoyable than when he plays over the top characters. It's sort of the same for Will Farell as well. I don't like him at all, but he was great in Stranger Than Fiction.

My only two negative points about this film are: 1) the ending is a little bit disappointing, and 2) the music (or music editing - if such a term exists) sucked - the music didn't match (in my opinion) with what was happening in the film.
