Writer/Director, Mike Binder, has given audiences a beautiful and moving story in the new film, Reign Over Me. The film stars Don Cheadle, Adam Sandler, Jada Pinkette Smith, Liv Tyler, and Donald Sutherland.
Cheadle plays the role of Alan Johnson. A middle age man with a great job, a loving wife (played by Smith), and wonderful kids. One day the most unexpected thing happens when Alan runs into his old college roommate, Charlie Finemen, played by Sandler. Charlie has no job, no family, and does what he pleases, however the big surprise is he has no memory of Alan at all.
As time goes on, Alan discovers that Charlie is suffering severe grief after losing his family in one of the plane crashes that took place on Sept. 11, 2001. Alan attempts to discuss this with Charlie, but Charlie won't respond to any of Alan's inquiries.
The film chronicles the friendship of these two men and how they both help each other work out problems with life and discovering happiness. Definitely a must see and be sure to bring a friend.
Reign Over Me is currently playing in theaters nationwide.
