Review of Reign Over Me (2007) by Archibald T — 12 Sep 2009
This film annoyed me because it tries to balance out the serious aspect to Sandler's grief by adding in a strange subplot to Cheadle's character who keeps distancing himself from one of his patients, played by Saffron Burrows, who wants to give him a blowjob.
Why is this even in the film? What purpose does it have? Also I think Mike Binder tried to distance him from the story concerning Sandler's character by including Cheadle's because Cheadle's character really doesn't help the film, it only keeps us more at distance.
It's heartbreaking to see a man who lost his family to 9/11, but inserting it into a story of typical Hollywood proportions made me think of Oscar night. Nice way to capitalize on 9/11 Mr. Binder.
Really nice.
