Beautiful without being sappy

Subject matter may be too unbearable for some

I had put off watching Reign Over Me for a while because even though I like Adam Sandler and Don Cheadle, I knew that this was a seriously emotional movie. My husband watched it alone the last time it was in the house. But tonight I watched it and ...

Pros: Setting, Sandler and Cheadle characters' interactions. Excellent pace and story line.
Cons: One or two implausible scenes. Chandler can mumble like nobody else ...but appropriate here.

Pros: Terrific cast, interesting storyline, direction.

Pros: Excellent perspective, a human, caring type of movie.
Cons: Slow in some parts.

What a fantastic movie! Not in a feel-good sort of way. But it's a movie that gives you a new perspective. I think it's important to constantly seek new perspectives for our own personal growth. This film puts a new face on 9/11. When 9/11 occurred ...

Cons: Underdeveloped relationship between Alan and his wife,Spoonfeeds the important character elements,Lack of decent bonus features

There are a number of movies I have seen that begin with a great deal of potential only to fall flat in the middle and end. Usually, it comes from a setup that is extraordinary that ultimately falls flat. Movies that set themselves up for greatness, ...

Cons: None.

I being an Adam Sandler fan ofcourse have this in my DVD collection, and I still to this day think it is Adam Sandler's best work so far. He shows how he has matured in his acting over time in this movie. I am glad he has done some more serious stuff ...
