Whenever people criticize Adam Sandler's movies and acting ability, I usually see people point toward Punch Drunk Love or Uncut Gems as an example of his range but hardly ever see mention of Reign Over Me. That in my opinion is his absolute best role. Such a genuine and heart wrenching performance especially the therapist office and courtroom scenes. Is Reign Over Me that underrated? I'm not sure if it's just me but I hardly ever see it recommended on this sub when people talk about emotional dramas. It flew under the radar when it released which is understandable because 9/11 happened only 6 years before and the country was still in the process of healing from those wounds. I just think it's a brilliant film and I wish Adam Sandler would get more recognition for his role
