Il film prende il titolo da una canzone degli Who: Love, Reign O'er Me (Amore, regna su di me). Una delle tante hit anni '70 che Charlie Fineman ascolta in cuffia a tutto volume mentre, solitario, vaga per le strade di New York sul suo curioso monopattino a motore. Charlie ha perso moglie e figlie nella tragedia dell'11 settembre: erano a bordo di uno degli aerei che si schiantarono contro le Torri Gemelle. Da allora si è chiuso completamente in se stesso, rifugiandosi nella sua sterminata collezione di dischi in vinile, refrattario al mondo, deciso a difendere il suo diritto a non ricordare. Diagnosi: disordine da stress post traumatico. L'incontro casuale con Alan Johnson, affermato dentista a Manhattan e suo vecchio compagno d'università, lo costringerà ad affrontare i suoi demoni interiori, avviandolo lentamente verso una possibile guarigione.

Even though this film is based on the aftermath of 9/11, it doesn't try to be political. It simply shows a man's grief and how he deals with losing his family. Although he is better known for comedy, having adam sandler playing a serious role should not put anybody off because he plays the role beautifully. Don Cheadle in the other title role carries on from where he left off in Crash with another thoughtful performance and the chemistry between the two of them is great to see. The film quite cleverly shows the two men dealing with their own issues, some more obvious than others, to a point that you don't know who is getting more benefit from who. The seriousness of the film is occasionally pervaded by snippets of humour which help you to relate wth the characters and provides refreshment from the large apple in your throat!! Even though 2007 has a number of blockbusters with massive budgets, this should be one of the more memorable films and should be part of anybody's collection.

few people , I imagine, saw the two HBO seasons of binder's show 'mind of the married man' which ought to have done for [older] married men what sex and the city did for gals .. it was funny, compassionate and moving in a grown up way .. so i looked out for this movie - saw it on blu ray [what a fabulous medium this is!]and was very moved - as the earlier reviews say it is a beautifully judged buddy movie dealing with grief and friendship in an oh so grown up way.. excellent performances ... made me really care for these people .. how often does a movie do that for you these days? go for it...

Reign Over Me is essentially a buddy movie starring Don Cheadle and Adam Sandler. Alan Johnson (Cheadle) is a dentist in a stereotypical "wife & a few kids in a nice house in New York" setup. Charlie Fineman (Sandler) is in many ways not so fortunate. Sadly he lost his whole family in 9/11, they were on one of the planes that went down that day. Since then he has retreated into his own little world, refusing to acknowledge the reality of his situation or the world around him. Alan and Charlie went to dental school together and parted company for many years. Could a chance meeting in the street change their lives forever?
The movie, as you'd expect from the subject matter, contains a lot of dark moments, but each seems to be balanced out by moments of pure joy and good humour and is well worth a look. Both Cheadle and Sandler are very convincing in their roles and display a chemistry that you don't often see. They look more and more like a couple of mates than actors as time goes on, which is good to see.
The blu-ray version is detailed as you'd expect and the colour reproduction is great, especially in the night-time scenes in the street where a standard DVD may struggle.
There are a few extra's to view, including various making-of's and a jam session between Don & Adam.
It may not be everyone's cup of tea, but I loved it.
