Reign Over Me (2007)
7/10
Sandler is outstanding
9 April 2008
Beside the scenario being very good and touching, the aspect that touched me the most was Adam Sandler performance and beside his big nose and funny voice, it could've been a whole other person. I really digged his character from the start ; which isn't always the case with other stereotyped actors which can do other types but will leave you with a an odd moment during the transition, which for me is being cocky saying to myself "let's see how you're going to pull this off !". Sandler's character was credible and his acting was incredible, I haven't studied theater so sadly can't give much more detail than that.

The direction was good but had a few moments which aren't much enjoyable during replay, it could've been like something else Don Cheadle was in : Crash.

One complaint about the scenario is the unrealistic precarious situation Sandler character is placed in at some point because he did some trouble. It might be nice and romantic but a turn-off for realists.

Overall, a must-see ! Too bad I didn't have a lady in my life at that time to see that in cinema.
