Punch-Drunk Love (Single Disc Edition) description
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 Guzmán), but ultimately fizzles out. --Bret Fetzer |

Paul Thomas Anderson continues to impress me with his films. This is in stark contrast to his three prior films ([[ASIN:B00000K3D3 Hard Eight (Special Edition)]], [[ASIN:B00004TQF7 Boogie Nights (New Line Platinum Series)]], [[ASIN:B00003CWTI Magnolia (New Line Platinum Series)]]). This film only features two main characters. Adam Sandler does a wonderful job playing the neurotic Barry.
It's a love story, in one of the most unconventional ways. Barry almost won't let himself love. ANd it's a wonderful film watching him actually get there.
The two disc set includes scopitones, artwork, deleted scenes, and a few other things. It's quite worth a watch.
Highly recommended. |
