    Adam Sandler takes a shot at critical respectability with Punch-Drunk Love, a movie by director Paul Thomas Anderson (Boogie Nights, Magnolia). Sandler plays Barry Egan, a lonely small businessman who calls a phone sex line one night, only to find himself the victim of an extortion scheme the next day--the very same day on which he goes out on a date with the woman who may be the love of his life (the utterly delightful Emily Watson). Barry is a lot like Sandler's popular comic characters--socially maladept, prone to violence, always on the brink of embarrassment--but here Sandler plays it real; the result is both off-putting and sympathetic. Anderson's writing skills, unfortunately, are not as strong as his visual sense. Punch-Drunk Love has many strengths (including great supporting actors Philip Seymour Hoffman and Luis Guzman), but ultimately fizzles out. --Bret Fetzer

    4 out of 5 stars Off the beaten track   June 11, 2009
    One-Line Film Reviews (Ann Arbor)
    The Bottom Line:

    Punch-Drunk Love is easily the least ambitious of Anderson's films, but it's still fascinating in the way it takes the violent man-child Adam Sandler character we're all sick of and plugs him into a different story, in which his outbursts look much more psychotic than funny; all things considered, it's an interesting film.

    3/4

    5 out of 5 stars One of the Best films I have ever seen   May 18, 2009
    Victor (MD, USA)
    I find that whenever I see something truly beautiful, that there are always a group of people who sit around and want to deride it. In this case, as well as in many cases, I find this is because of the shortcomings of other people rather than the film.

    This movie is the only rival to the film Donnie Darko for what is my favorite of all time. Punch-Drunk Love is one of those rare films that seems to break away from Hollywood formula. That is a tall order considering that Adam Sandler is in it and up until this he had been known for a lot of comedy that uses a lot of adolescent humor. There's nothing really wrong with that, but this film definitely transcends anything like that. So to people who only know how to respond to such lowbrow humor, this film is anathema. If you're looking for a typical Adam Sandler movie, this isn't for you.

    If you're looking for a "romantic comedy" this isn't really for you. Romantic comedies are trite things with neurotic women chasing men that don't want them, cynical men helping the women and falling in love with them. Humor comes in the form of awkward situations and "witty" exchanges. At the end there's a nice big happy ending delivered in bright colors with a bow on top. A lot of "people realizing what's really important" sort of crap. Look elsewhere. They produce romantic comedies by the dozens these days. This movie is one of a kind.

    This movie is short, considering the complex things going on. All the individual crises are really backdrop, events going on around this profound love story. It's something truly wonderful. Two people escaping their ordinary and oppressive lives, the aggressive people who don't seem to understand them. The focus on the love story, the fact that little of the backdrop is explained (like where did the harmonium come from?), makes it more real, in my opinion.

    The acting is superb and genuine. The characters are people anybody can point out and find in their own lives, given real thought. The score is wonderfully appropriate.




    5 out of 5 stars adam sandler at his best   April 21, 2009
    abraxasworld (berwyn, il)
    I get it that people don't like this, being surprised by how far out sandler went to do this role compared to previous works. However, this film in the brilliant hands of anderson is a marvelous cinematic experience. It's uncomfortable, it's nerve wracking, it's slow paced with jolts of anger it's beautiful. There are so many moments and elements that make this movie a masterpiece. Adam sandler delivers his best performance ever and emily watson is just wonderful. Not enough can be said about hoffman who always delivers. you may hate this movie, but in the end it is intended to be jarring and unnerving.


    1 out of 5 stars Dreadful film   March 4, 2009
    D. Pauley (Charleston, WV)
    1 out of 2 found this review helpful

    I was interested in this film because I had seen several very good reviews of it when it first came out. I also had been impressed with some of Sandler's more serious roles, such as in Spanglish and his wonderful straight man performance in Anger Management. Unfortunately, this film just didn't do it for me. It was dull, dull, dull. I had no sympathy at all for Sandler's character. None of the other characters held much interest for me, either. I love Seymour Phillip Hoffman and Emily Watson, but they were wasted in this annoying film. while I admire Anderson's films, I don't always like the characters in them. With this film, I didn't like either the characters or the direction.
