- An underrated film of Adam Sandler's career.
"When the Twin Towers went down on that fateful morning in 2001, Charlie Fineman (Sandler) lost everything important in his life. Five years have passed since Charlie's wife and daughters died, and now the once-successful and sociable man has become a withdrawn shadow of his former self."
This movie was Adam Sandlers "Hold my beer" moment when critics said he couldn't perform in a dramatic role.
I never liked any of his comedic movies. I never thought he was funny, but as a dramatic actor he is really good. I recently watched Spaceman, and he did not disappoint.
@@hilaryc3203 I enjoyed his 90's stuff, but I also enjoy 'angry slapstick'. And that's what he and Chris Farley did so exceptionally well.
@@TimedRevolver I am not a fan of American/slapstick humour. I cut off tv years ago to get away from it; that and reality shows :)
@@hilaryc3203 That's fair. I just really enjoy physical comedy.
John Candy might be more your speed. He did some physical comedy, but his was mostly timing and comments. And he could do emotional acting so well.
@@TimedRevolver I actually enjoyed Uncle Buck :)
That lawyer sliding the photo infront of adam sandlers character was a real slime ball for that.
Sucks how people like him actually exsist
That was a low move!! He should be disbarred for that.
In my country they use as a trump card just to instigate them
If anything...it helped Charlie's case, proving that he was so emotionally disconnected from reality, he couldn't help but lose control.....I mean, what man out there WOULDN'T?!...I don't have kids, but I always wanted too have a few and I know for a fact, I would shut down like he did.... especially under the circumstances of the how Charlie's family perished.....this movie breaks my heart
He should have been kicked out of the court for that
Sharks don’t attack lawyers out of professional courtesy. BUT, this is the united states judicial system in a nutshell
'I get that you're in pain, but you got each other. You got each other.'... This is my favorite line in cinema. It's so much worse to be sad and alone than to be sad and with at least one other someone.
But he didn’t HAVE to be alone, they all could’ve had each other & that was their point.
@negtype13 well they didn't respect his wishes. They wanted to bring up his wife and daughters which obviously was a trigger for him.
@@negtype13having people that care and love you is definitely supportive but not in the same way a significant other is. They each still had their person while he was robbed of his and his three daughters. It's not up for one person to tell another how to grieve. We just all get through grief in our own way in our own time.
@@briankinyon2043
Oh I completely agree!
I was just stating that while he was choosing to be alone, their point was he didn’t have to be.
Even though they didn’t get your point.
I prefer being alone. People are different
Although brief, Donald Sutherland was perfect for the judge.
Absolutely
Played it perfect. He's a judge recognizing that this is a family issue and shouldn't even be in front of him.
@@stephengrigg5988If I was a judge, I'd have the same opinion of a similar case in real life.
@@thomasshort1784 Well, he's had experience with traumatized and broken families. Look at Ordinary People. Also, Mrs. Templeman was in Prince of Tides, also a with a broken traumatized family. Perfect casting for a movie like this.
Rest in peace to him sadly he passed away yesterday 😢😢
"I don't know how they can't see it, he's just got a broken heart, it's so broken his poor heart" gets me every single time I watch it. Shit makes me tear up
The in-laws are acting in a way where they resent that Charlie can't mourn with them and are angry at his pretending their daughter didn't exist as well as hurting at how broken he is. What a mess!
That's only what they perceive. They have no idea exactly what Charlie's fighting on the inside because he doesn't tell them why he doesn't speak or try to reminisce. The whole movie is about his inability to face the truama and it culminates into him finally being able to talk to them and tell them exactly why he doesn't need to mourn the way they do or with them. It's not an easy solution and divisive but it's him finally taking a step back towards the light.
@@ShaDHP23 I totally get his perspective. It's because we get to see it and his music throughout is identifying his inner turmoil. But the in-laws can't see it. They feel robbed of another person they love.
@@Oddbisket fair enough.
@@ShaDHP23 Beautifully described.
@@ShaDHP23 its really messed up imo to try and force someone to grieve in your way
Everyone laughing at the "German Shepherd" quote, but I keep giggling at the 4:05 "First off, you ever pull crap like that in my court again, I will have hardened inmates use you as a dress-up doll". Donald Sutherland managed to deliver that with such sincerity as well. Great stuff.
When he kisses her on the cheek..... man. Death causes so many feelings that wind up being misinterpreted.
💯 that part broke me... held it together until that second
In a way I believe he was giving them what they sought, to know the man that is their son in law is still inside and does still love them.
“If you pull that crap again, I will have hardened inmates using you as a dress-up doll.”
The lawyer and the parents both. That was beyond fucked up. No remorse at all for the three of them, they should all burn.
No I feel bad for the parents. After all it was their daughter that they were grieving as well.
Were they insensitive to Charlie’s method of coping? Yes but from what I seen from the film they didn’t exactly seem malicious. They just misunderstood Charlie’s way of grieving because they too were grieving.
Grief makes you do stupid things. Especially when it seems like the closest thing to that person you lost doesn’t seem to care or want to grieve in the same way. It doesn’t make what they did right but I don’t blame them.
The lawyer on the other hand is a prick who openly weaponised a man’s crippling guilt and grief to make him look psychotic just to win a fucking case. He did this shit for a paycheque and nothing more. That man deserves no sympathy.
The parents wanted to be a part of Charlie's life
"They should all burn." Listen to yourself. That's a terrible statement. Horrific. WTF are you thinking? Is that your answer, if somebody acts out in pain, just burn them? The lawyer, meh, but the parents? Really? That's f****d up.
Thats harsh
They shouldnt burn
@@dude9318 the parents no i agree but that lawyer needs a real lesson in compassion and empathy
When Sandler does drama it is just superb. The movie is great
And then he does movies like Jack and Jill. Insane range between eldritch abomination to spectacular
@@TheWarChief929 guess you gotta fund the dramaserie somehow.
It's so insane that a person can suffer this type of loss,this type of burden and pain,and be expected to mend as everyone else does,as everyone who hasn't suffered as he does be expected to move on as everyone else does...
The German Shepard line made me laugh so unexpectedly. That’s the best part about having an all time great comedian as a lead in a drama. When there’s time for a joke they fucking nail it even if you’re all choked up you still laugh.
It’s funny in a sad way
I felt it on a personal level and so that’s the part where I broke down 😢 I couldn’t emotionally handle that scene, especially once that hit my ears.
This is a very underrated Sandler movie. Often forgotten about, but it was an incredible movie!
"I look at a German Shepherd I see a god damn poodle!" That's one of the most saddest, and funniest lines I've ever heard.
“Our” god damn poodle, in one scene he says their family dog is a poodle that’s named Spider and that his family took him with them onto the plane.
I love how when he goes and talks to his in-laws
It’s not anger in his voice
He’s not mad
He’s destroyed
He has no room for anger or hatred or anything other then pure pain
He can’t be mad at them
But he lets them know the truth, with no resentment
Even how he stands
He’s desperate
But not intimidating
Just
A dead man walking
Undertaker
One of his best movies hardly anyone ever talks about... this one... this one is my favorite.
Yeah, everyone gives Sandler props for Punch Drunk Love and Uncut Gems. He doesn't get nearly enough recognition for this. His performance is superb.
Movie isn't that great.
@@nikolaimyhre1187what brought you here to this clip then?
I went through a situation where something happened and for first 2 weeks was in denial like it never happened and then one morning it set in life was never gonna be the same, and inside I snapped and I couldn’t eat, didn’t wanna think, watch tv, see other people that made me think of the person, because things would make me think of the person. I couldn’t understand why I couldn’t just get over it. I would cry and I couldn’t sleep. I’d wake up in middle of night and cry. Was a deep anxiety filled depression. It sent me down a darker path cause I didn’t know how or where to go to get help. So this movie I understand this movie on another level. And I have more better days than bad now, but took a long time
@@Itsmy2cent ... I am so sorry you went through that... when my mom died... a part of me died as well... I had realized she was my motivation for trying every day... I had to learn to do things for myself... still trying to learn.... .hugs.
The fact that they force the poor bastard to go relive every detail of the most horrible day of any man's life......Adam Sandler should have won an Oscar for this
Edit: Rip Donald Sutherland
Seeing him act I can feel the aching sorrow and hollowness in my chest from that loss.
The rising anxiety throughout the scene was incredible.
The only thing he saw in that picture was his family burning alive. Sandler should've gotten an Oscar
"I will have hardened inmates using you as a dressup doll." 😂
We need more judges like him. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
This is why Pam doesn’t like you, Ryan.
Number one… how dare you?
If Adam Sandler wants me to cry I'm gonna cry.he is such a good actor
This was the first movie that dealt with the emotional aftermath of 9/11 in an intimate and personal way. Some folks weren't ready for such an emotional movie to star Adam Sandler, but this is some of his finest work.
I loved him in this film and my heart truly broke for the character.
I watched it on an off chance flipping through channels and man it floored me. Adam was amazing in it
There's that awful movie Remember Me, with Robert Pattinson that has a "it was 9/11" twist ending that's honestly disgusting. Then that world trade center movie with Nic Cage that also felt a little gross. I never got that "exploitative" vibe from this movie. I think they had a story about dealing with grief that they genuinely wanted to tell and that's why the 9/11 aspect comes off a lot more respectful and not like it was shoe-horned in for some cheap sympathy points.
This is what the movie is about? Omg I need to watch this. I was expecting it to be a divorce thing but this is so much more impactful
It took me 15 years to be able to look at a photo of my youngest brother and my family has never brought him up since his passing. Seeing this now hits even harder than when i saw it in its release.
Being in pain, alone. Is the worst thing to emotionally and mentally deal with. You have no one to lean on. Truly, unapologetically, able to be vulnerable and hurt with them.
You don't have any shoreline or anything to push towards.
Movie captures it so damn well.
Trauma does crazy things to your head, I still see my abusers face in some of the people on the street, causes flashes, it’s just a constant reminder, and can also tell you from experience dealing with it alone is the worst thing to happen to me. Take care of your loved ones
How Adam Sandler didn’t get an Oscar for this movie, I’ll never understand
I haven’t watched the movie but watching this clip is enough for me to bawl into tears
You and me both man
this made me laugh he just started singing
I am just utterly in awe of this movie and Sandler’s performance. He is thought of as a great comedian but he is clearly much more than just that. I believe he is one of the most underrated actors of all time.
This movie made me tear up when it originally came out. The clip still gets me. It is one of the best movies he ever made that no one talks about because it isn’t a comedy.
I think it is his best work. He was incredible in this. This is also maybe the saddest movie I have ever seen but, also one of my favorites.
Sssooo...Until the last couple years I never cared for Adam Sandler's entertainment style. Never really cared for his stand-up. But then, on a whim, I watched, "Fifty First dates". I was blown away by his skills as an actor. Then I watched, "The Cobbler"; excellent movie. "Pixels" was awesome! and a couple others. This clip is all I have seen of, "Reign Over Me", and once again, I am blown away at Sandler's intuitiveness and skill. As he confronts the Templeton's, the body language alone is absolutely amazing. The vulnerability, and brokenness before he even says a word is absolutely astounding! Having lost two sons, a 13 year old, and later and adult, I understand the raw, visceral grief expressed. I now have to see this movie!
This movie makes me cry every time I watch it everyone grieves differently
Sandler should have won every award for this movie
He’s never even been nominated not even for this or Uncut Gems
"Don't bring sugarman"😂😂 I have never laughed so hard right before I cry. The way he explains he sees their faces in other people is so heart breaking and moving
Tbh I felt a little bad for Sugarman lol, he was Charlie’s best friend before 9/11, the only reason why Charlie cut him out was because Sugarman knew the family closely. So, Sugarman supported Charlie from afar, watched him and made sure he was safe and okay as he could be, and manage his finances.
That sigh at 5:40...the disappointment is all over his face. He was winding up for a statement on how they should support Charlie, and they took it as further validation of their claims against him. Can't help but hear Professor Kirke's admonishment in my head as the perfect follow up. "You are the closest thing he has to family." "You might want to try acting like one."
Oh man, when he approaches his in laws at the end, that scene makes me choke up
You can tell the judge wanted to destroy the lawyer for what he did!!!
Donald Sutherland is always a W, From Oddballs to President Snow and any other roles he’s done he is an amazing actor
People don't take the time to understand the pain some people are experiencing, they are right beside you, the Judge said it
He's going through something Profound,
In tears 😭 I understand 😅
"Your honor, in my defense-"
"🗿 *quiet* . . ."
Funny to hear Melinda Dillon get so passionate about a lamp…
It was not just a lamp. It was a major award. From Italy.
They had to have done that on purpose
Rest in Peace Donald Sutherland
Such a powerful movie and what he has to endure. The kind of pain and suffering no man should ever have to go through
I find it funny to see Ted Raimi in this knowing that the same year he was also in Spiderman 3
Adam Sandler’s greatest performance! I don’t know if a movie has ever made me cry harder.
Supposedly, this movie was based off an actual Dentist who Really lost his family on 9/11. But this movie…Reign Over Me…This was a hard movie and it’s the only one where Adam Sandler played an Emotional Role…I mean, not even Spaceman, which dropped a few weeks ago on Netflix could top it.
Adam Sandler had a few dramatic rolls this was just his best one
I loved the scene from the judge's chambers, the judge told the DA that he made a big mistake in court put him in his place for sure
Ok, Adam and writer(s) did an amazing job at showing us heartbreak. 😢😢😢😢 I am a cryer too.😭😭😭😭
This is my favorite movie of all time, I ball like a baby every time I watch it.
How have I never heard about this movie? No previews, nothing. Wow
It's been a favorite of mine for years. It's incredibly underappreciated as it is a great movie and the cast (Don Cheadle, Adam Sandler, Liv Tyler, Saffron Burrows, Jada Pinkett, etc.) are each perfect for their roles. It's not just sad, there are many parts that crack me up every time.
It did quite poorly in the box office, $22 mil on a $20 mil budget. I think the distributors didn’t know how to handle the movie in all honesty. This was Adam Sandler’s first fully dramatic role when he was primarily known for stuff like Happy Gilmore and Billy Madison at the time. He’d done stuff like Punch Drunk Love but that still had comedy elements whereas this was way more bleak and emotionally charged. I genuinely think people just weren’t ready for it. If the movie was made today, it would’ve likely done way better thanks to stuff like Uncut Gems proving he was perfectly capable of handling a dramatic film as the leading man.
I think i missed a great movie...i will see it now.
Always said it...Adam Sandler has some of the finest acting chops...but he'd much rather bust his own chops to make people laugh than cry.
This is a very deep, emotional and intimate scene. Well fuking done Adam. Great Job.
First time I watched the movie was the only time and it impacted me so much. I cried tears of joy and sadness. I was confused but in a strong state of relatable relief.
Rip the legend Donald. We were lucky we got to have his greatness in the world.
People seem to forget that comedians somehow end up being the best dramatic actors....
The talent in this scene alone...Donald Sutherland (R.i.P.) Adam Sandler, Don Cheadle, B.J. Novak...this movie is criminally underrated.
Adam Sandler should've won an Oscar for this movie.
Also, Adam Sandler needs to play Bob Dylan
This movie just proves that comedy isn’t all that Sandler is capable of. The man has range.
Rest in Peace to Donald Sutherland
The parents only wanted THERE SIDE OF GRIEF, not his. They harassed him, but all they wanted was for him to break down and be hospitalized... Its like they NEEDED to see how fked up this made him and the parents are happy with it? They were selfish pos in this movie..
It’s actually THEIR not THERE- just so you know. You’re an adult and you should know this.
@bradenharris8718 True, I'm guessing you've never had predicted text screw you over before, right? Also, It's nice to see the grammar nazis are still on the internet. Not even to further a conversation, but to act like the ass none of us ever ask for. 👍🤦🏼

@@bradenharris8718 As an adult, you can eat my ass. Saw an opportunity to be smart and you grabbed it by the dick and yanked it until you got sprayed with all those lovely self important juices. Wanker.
Doesn't Charlie say he pretended to be asleep while his family was leaving for the airport? I think about that quite often and I never let my wife leave for work without saying good-bye and I love you.
You’re correct, he did that because he and his wife had an argument about the kitchen remodel and he didn’t want to do it all over again. That’s also the reason why he continues to remodel the kitchen time and time again, because he had no idea what his wife and the girls would have wanted.
I have never even heard of this movie. Going to make a point of watching it now. Might have to prepare myself mentally if this clip is any indication.
It’s hard to watch, emotionally. Amazing performances, absolutely worth watching, Sandler is incredible.
You think it's best for someone to express their feelings. But it isn't. Their pain will be a lot worse than anyone can ever imagine. Will they be lost forever. Clearly yes. But it isn't up to relatives to fix them. They can only fix themselves. And only they are allowed to let people in.
The in laws are such pieces of garbage. Is it really so hard to understand he's so destroyed that he just doesn't want to deal with the loss?
Heartbreaking film that just was wonderfully done .
This is sandlers best performance ever. He should have got an Oscar for this.
Great acting in this scene. By all. Sutherland being Sutherland to a power of 10. Anyone who has had family drama gets how real this hits.
I cried
Remove the traumatized person from what is the source of the trauma - sounds simple to me , and to most. . That's the first step, believe me , do not expect any progress until that is accomplished. The experience of trauma has taught me that much , funny to my observers , my "handlers ", that message is lost .
This is such a good movie.
I agree with more serious roles from him. But what no one else mentions is this guy has an amazing voice and should also do more serious music. His feature with Deftones is also quite amazing.
this scene still makes me cry :(
I loved this movie so much and its top 3 if not the best performance by adam sandler of all time!
I've never seen this movie, but my eyes are watering just from this clip
Extremely sad 😢 scene
The lawyer is purposefully triggering Sandler’s character
This is such a good movie
i love this movie and i dont know why.... R.I.P Donald Sutherland!
Adam Sandler is so underrated
when you get old these movies become more meaningful than a action superhero movie. in this case charlie and the dentist (don cheadle) and his father and mother in law even the judge are all heroes to me.
An amazing movie
Agreed
Sandler's BEST movie!
Adam Sandler was absolutely brilliant in this movie. He just "went there".
I love Adam Sandler's movies believe it or not. I've gotten a lot of laughter and fun from them and however I can laugh makes my life better. This movie was hard to watch but imo it's a masterpiece. It shows a completely different side of AS and it's brilliant and beautiful. "Don't bring Sugarman."
Rest in ❤peace Donald Sutherland
Well, hell. A 9 minute clip got me crying.
4:56 - 5:36 I'd trust Donald's judgement there; he's had experience with traumatized families and loss of loved ones.
(Ordinary People)
Also Don't Look Now
I hope they have this movie in Heaven.
Such an underrated movie, grief is a bitch!
Also, RIP to the legend Donald Sutherland.
I love this movie but there is literally no way this premise would happen in real life. It seems as if the in-laws purposely interrupted this mans life, where he was coping with life the way he could, to put him through hell because he wasn't grieving the way they wanted him to. It's just an insane premise to have people from the ordinary walks of life determine another persons freedom when there is no grounds for it other than the difference in the grieving process.
This is a vastly underappreciated movie. Sandler is very good in this movie.
As somebody whit PTSD i hate this part of the movie. He doesn't hate you remind him of what he lost man leave the man alone he's suffering enough he's love you and what you represent too much fhats the problem (idk any who couldn't think about them) he douse think about them 24/7 thats the problem he can't function because of it don't you see that you think he want too feel the way he does f*** no who would he's broken and scared and alone leave the man be he'll heal in his own damn way man adum Sandler plays this role perfectly and he doesn't get enough credit for this CPTSD isn't always in you're face sometimes it's a silent killer something that eats at silently in the back of you're maid torturing you whit what could i have done better why wasn't i their how could i jave been better or done better it eats and eats and eats until their is nothing left too feast on and f*** man this is that in a nutshell ive struggled whit it my whole life the thoughts the slfe hate the slfe indignant shame as a man you're supposed too be strong and something people look to in times of need but how the f*** can anyone be that whit demons eating away at ever fiber of who you are
Ahhh sorry shouldn't rant like that but it hits home and really close to it if I'm honest whit myself
Everything he said to his parents should have been enough for them to leave Charlie the hell alone. He faces life changing trauma, and they want to put him away for it? What kinda crap is that???
Mrs Templeman aka… Ralphies mom in Christmas story
Is that who that was? Holy shit.
@@JnEricsonx yep… I remember when I first watched movie I was like, wait uhhhhh minute …. I recognize those eyes and that voice
This is my favorite Adam Sandler movie
One of Adams best movies ever!
God Damn!!! I'm tired of hearing Sandler is a comedic actor... Guy is gold in this!!!
What song is playing in the last few minutes of this scene I remember the rhythm at my best friends funeral 😔
The most heartbreaking line,that isnt in this scene but similarly emotional, is hearing charlie say "i felt them burning". I cant even begin to fathom the loss or even the utter pain the family of the survivors have, but i start to get more empathy when i hear that line.
Something though that has helped with the passing of time, is don cheadle saying homophobic things about falcon.
His attorney should have asked for a recess.
