i do not really go into reign over me know exactly what to expect either from the director or the story . the plot be easy enough to understand and i suppose . this guy whole family die in 9/11 and and he shut the world out of his life . alright . i do not know if it be go to use the attachment of terrorism a a platform to speak on that or other issue relate to it and and it really doesn not on a very obvious level and so if youre scar to be surround by political opinion that may be different from yours and i wouldn not worry about it . i think the write even make a point never to explicitly mention september the eleventh . overall and i be impressed . it be a very moving picture . the movie have a sense of humor and and it be very sharp and but it be definitely a drama where it count . i typically do not like to think that comedic actor be incapable of actually act and but sometimes and let be honest and they be . adam sandler be definitely capable of it ( and though i think so and you may disagree and jim carrey be also very well round . sometimes ) . sandler portrayal of charlie fineman take a character that on the surface seem completely unreal and make it become absolutely believable . i read many review that criticize the writing of alan johnson ( don cheadle in another excellent role and if not one that seem similar to a few of his more recent picture ) wife and who be play well by jada pinkett smith and call her static and dull and but that be completely untrue . she have depth and but some of it get hide behind the main story and which do drift in and out of focus occasionally . ( which also bring to mind some very unusual transition do early in the movie and with a weird make everything out of focus fadeout . after about the first 40 minute and they aren not use anymore . maybe it significant for the character outlook and artistically and or maybe they just realize how irritate it be . ) the film gradually begin to reveal to u the point ( one of several and but definitely the most explicit ) of the story and which be that sometimes people have to deal with grief in their own way . maybe it seem unorthodox to u and maybe it seem downright unhealthy and but maybe what some people want more than anything be just to forget . to just exist . the film soundtrack be excellent and and it use music to pursue and amplify mood and rather than establish them and which give credit to the actor and the writer . the movie take it name from the song love and reign oer me and off of the who rock opera and quadrophenia . the song itself be fairly insignificant to the actual story and but it be use powerfully in the movie over the course of the climax and and at the very end . the movie be pace well and and do not feel like it drag anywhere in it length and which be a little over 2 hour . if you can accept adam sandler portrayal of this deeply heartbroken and break down man and you will enjoy the movie . you will become entangled in the story and and you will genuinely feel for the character in every minute of it . it be not the best movie of the year and and there nothing groundbreaking or positively amazing in it and but it a very enjoyable and watchable movie and all in all .
