starring Adam Sandler & Emily Watson
In a nutshell: Spellbinding in a distinctly PT Anderson kind of way. I'm still not sure where exactly he took me, but it was a fun ride anyway
Quick synopsis: Barry Egan is a lonesome man with seven overbearing sisters who copes with stress in some very odd ways.
Content: Adam Sandler's comedies have fallen a very long way since the days of Happy Gilmore and Billy Madison. I think I threw up in my mouth a little in my mouth the first time I saw a preview for You Don't Mess With The Zohan. But snuggly located between two more low points in his filmography, Little Nicky and Mr. Deeds, you can find Punch-Drunk Love. I remember when this movie came out, I was labelled the "Adam Sandler being serious movie" and he received a fair amount of praise for his acting. But all the Sandler chatter
