Quicky Movie Review - Punch Drunk Love

The girlfriend and I were on a movie kick and decided to pick up "Punch Drunk Love", the Adam Sandler movie directed by P.T. Anderson, of "Boogie Nights" directorial fame.

Heeee willlll rock you! And heeee willll roll you! C'mon c'mon c'mon c'mon! (Sorry, couldn't help it....)

Anyway, I highly recommend this picture. Sandler plays Barry Egan, a small business owner who is completely emasculated by his seven sisters to the point where he's developed a social anxiety disorder. The movie explores how he breaks from from his meek, awkward personality when he falls in love with Lena Leonard, played wonderfully by Emily Watson. Sandler's character is so painfully sympathetic that I found myself shouting at the screen during various points in the story like a sporting event. Fantastic movie, definitely Sandler's best.
This movie gets five frogs out of five.
