Reign Over Me


Ok, here is a tear jerker. It's a heartfelt movie that tells the story of two old friends who connect again. Both have things to learn from each other.

Adam Sandler mystifies in his awesome portrayal of Charlie, a widower who lost his whole family in the events of 9/11. Those events rocketed him into a downward spiral where his friend, former college roommate Alan Johnson, finds him.

Johnson {played by Don Cheadle} is at a turning point in his own life. He sees a shadow of his former friend and is determined to help him regain himself; while on this quest he finds a little of himself in the process.

This movie is an awesome portrayal of friendship, grief, growing, and coping. While it lacks in action it overflows with great acting, good storyline, and even a realistic ending.

I'd say rent it; or better yet, buy it for those times when you need to be reminded what true friendship and heartache look like.

Reign Over Me is a movie that once you see it, you will never forget. Check it out on the IMDB: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0490204/ . You won't regret catching this movie.

I give Reign Over Me 4 stars:

Enjoy the movie, and happy watching!! :)
