Reign Over Me

Adam Sandler is Charlie Fineman, a dentist whose life is destroyed when his wife, three children and dog, are aboard one of the planes on 9/11. Don Cheadle plays his college roommate who sees Fineman wandering the streets four years later. Fineman has disconnected from the world, retreating into a life of endlessly remodeling his kitchen, video games, and shutting himself off. Sandler is REALLY great in this. He shows us Fineman's pain and it is raw and overwhelming. Cheadle is excellent as always and the rest of the cast does a nice job of rounding things out. This is a fantastic movie. The ending is perhaps a bit too easy but the rest is really great. 9/10.
