Reign Over Me
on DVD (2006)
Starring: Adam Sandler, Don Cheadle, Jada Pinkett Smith
Director: Mike Binder
Certificate: 
Forgot gooky comedies Adam Sandler is known for... Reign Over Me see the man deliver humour in a far more subtle manner (as well as looking like a 60's Bob Dylan) and as a result has gone up in my estimations of him 10x. Numerous reviews here give you a clearer picture of what the film is about, but suffice to say this is a thought provoking film about friendship and if you stick through the occassionally slow slog you will be rewarded. Couple with a great soundtrack (Pearl Jam's version of The Who's Love Reign O'er Me over closing credits is superb) and this is one of the strongest films I have seen of late. Not really comedy so don't expect to laugh out loud none stop, but not really drama but somewhere between the two - just a good solid film.
