Adam Sandler & Don Cheadle :tup: :tup: Excellent flick…Sandler is awesome in it. A story about a shattered man after the events of 9/11. Go see it…do not expect Happy Gilmore or Billy Madison from Sandler…if you want that…its definetly not your movie. ---

My guess would be growing up and not wanting to be remembered for Dumb & Dumber and Billy Madison as your claim to fame. I think they are both talented actors outside of comedy…Carey was excellent in the Truman Show and Sandler has been excellent in Click and now Reign over me. I have enjoyed seeing their versatility in acting…neither are Morgan Freeman or Jack Nicholson by any means but they are gifted actors despite everyone loving their comedic side. JUST GO SEE THE MOVIE lol ---

I saw Spanglish and that wasn’t too bad. Click was ok as far as movies go. I have yet to watch Punch Drunk Love, but I do own it. ---

Punch Drunk Love? Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind? The truman show? All awesome flicks. i think adam sandler and jim carey, respectively, are both awesome drama actors. ---

He was a goofball in the past but as far as dramatic acting goes, I think he is fantastic. His comedy sucks balls, but his acting is top notch. ---

Eternal Sunshine was awesome. Probably one of my favorites. I think I might have to give this movie a chance ---

Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind one of my favorite movies as well. as for this one, i’ll wait until it comes to blockbuster. the whole 9/11 thing is played out. ---

Punch Drunk love was meh in my opinion but the scene where Sandler goes insane in the street is by far one of the best movie scenes ever. This movie is NOT a 9/11 Movie. It is a story about a man who lost everything on that day…and shows his life nearly 6 years later. Definetly not a boo hoo for America…Boo Middle East story. ---

Good question…one I don’t have the answer to. The way the story plays out any of those circumstances would have worked the same. I think the 9/11 angle just catches more peoples attention and makes you think about the magnitude of loss by alot of people suffered on that day. But the movie definetly does NOT focus on it…possibly because it takes place in NYC too has something to do with it. [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/review-reign-over-me/26494.md?page=2)
