This week we begin our 'Comedic Actors in Serious Roles' block of films. Trust us, this is a much better block than this sad excuse for a title gives!

This week, we're taking a look at (in our humble expert opinions) Adam Sander's best film. Period. 2007's Reign Over Me shows Adam Sandler as Charlie Fineman, a man suffering the traumatic loss of his family during the 9/11 Attacks. He's seen by his old college roommate Alan (Don Cheadle) and the two rekindle their friendship as Alan attempts to aid Charlie in healing from his devastating loss. 

With an outstanding supporting cast that includes Liv Tyler, Robert Klien, Jada Pinkett Smith, and Donald Sutherland, this is a film that shows healthy male relationships in dealing with loss. 

So kick back, relax and enjoy this episode of the Plotaholics Podcast.
