Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
Director Mike Binder has twigged on to the fact that if you root Sandler's genially churlish moron act into a more sober foundation, a vulnerable, believable and even lovable character can begin to emerge.

rotten:
The film is slick when it needs to be raw, tidy when it needs to sprawl, and amorphous when it needs to focus.

rotten:
Binder's insistence on pitching everything at the level of either sitcom shenanigans or movie-of-the-week weepiness compromises any significance the subject matter might have.

For all its flaws, Reign Over Me is still surprisingly affecting.

fresh:
This is not a simple, uplifting tale. It's never clear whether Charlie will fully recover, and that sense of realism is the film's strength.
