Review of Reign Over Me (2007) by Rosemarie S — 26 Aug 2009

Wow! This movie was such a wonderful exploration of dealing with grief! So touching. I highly recommend it, because we all have to deal with grief at some point.

The blend of comedy with grief may seem odd, but it was this characters way of being able to communicate through grief, so though it may seem that Adam Sandler is not being true to the character, that is not the case. Have you never laughed when you should cry because something is so incredulous?

People who think that this movie is not congruent should come back to this movie later on and see if they feel the same way. Tell me a movie that has done better at showing the disabling affects of grief in a way that is not overbearingly depressive and yet still real.
