My two cents on this week’s movie to see: Reign Over Me (my review here), which comes out today, is a well-done portrayal of the wonder that is male friendship. I’m not sure that’s how Adam Sandler put it when he hosted Letterman the other night but that’s what it is.

The story of a guy who lost his wife and three children on 9/11, it manages to be both funny and emotionally wrenching — and they manage to do that without any awkwardness. Often when Sandler does serious there are awkward moments/transitions. Not here.

Mike Binder directs. I haven’t seen The Upside of Anger, which he also did, but I now want to.

It’s uplifting in a very real-world kinda way — I think you’ll be satisfied with the treatment (of human relationships, of 9/11). And I think you’ll agree with me even if you haven’t agreed with me on some questionable movie choices in the past. That and you’ll be amazed how funny Don Cheadle is.
