Adam Sandler in a surprising dramatic role
Too many red herrings (0 more)
I was quite surprised when watching Paul Thomas Anderson's film by Adam Sandler's performance. You know the camera work, music, art direction are always going to be flawless; however, I wasnn't expecting depth and range by the man who gave us "The Waterboy" and "Billy Madison.
Sandler shaws some real heart and poignant moments and is even able to keep up with Emily Watson.
The plot gets a little bogged down, but it is still well worth watching.

"Punch-Drunk Love is at the very top of the list. Like everybody else, I’m a huge fan of Paul Thomas Anderson. The journey that he took Adam Sandler on in that movie, starting as a guy who is very put-upon and all this kind of stuff, and then love came into his life through Emily Watson. Just to see that journey. There’s a great scene at the end when he just totally stands up to Philip Seymour Hoffman at his mattress store, and there’s that time when Emily’s in the car with him, and he grabs… I think it was a tire iron in the car and swings. It’s just such a great moment. And then that crying scene with the therapist in the closet. I mean, it was just perfection, that entire film, for me."
