Reign Over Me

You know those annoying people in the theatre? The ones who always cry? Ughh! I know right? Don’t you hate that? I’d hate them too, if I wasn’t one of them. I admit I tear up during sad films. Maybe not as much as the annoying, over exaggerated professional crier who always happens to sit in the seat directly behind you. But sure, I’m a weeper (or ’sissy’ if you will). Well, if you and I have that weeping-willo characteristic in-common and you enjoy funny but touching films. I suggest you peep ‘Reign Over Me’.

Funnyman Adam Sandler plays Charlie Fineman, a dentist and family man whose wife and children die when their plane hits the World Trade Center. Fineman has a difficult time coping with his lose. Then, runs into his old-college roommate who attempts to help Fineman reclaim his life. With a few twist and turns the movie swiftly swings your mood back and forth from happiness, to sadness to laughter to anger. Its a good watch.

Of course if your reading this and your currently living in Bermuda, I’d wait a while before I pull out the microwave popcorn and an extra box of Kleenex. Seems this DVD isn’t available for purchase just yet here. Don’t ask how I got to see it ( cough, cough ).
