Review of Reign Over Me (2007) by Jim — 04 Aug 2009

Seriously, how does this film not have a huge following? I've put off watching it just because I don't know anyone who has seen it, and I wish I hadn't! Adam Sandler's BEST performance, no room for discussion. Nothing out of the ordinary in Cheadle's performance (that's not a knock, he's just always great). B.J. Novak was the absolute best of the supporting cast. He'll make you laugh on the Office, but he's got the chops to be a great actor as well. You will want to reach through the screen and choke the bastard as you watch the court scene!

All things said, this film is quite the sad journey, but it's another great work for Mike Binder (writer/director) to add to his already impressive resume. You may not agree with me, but at least give it a chance and hope for the best!
