Movie Reviews of Punch-Drunk Love (Two Disc Special Edition) (Superbit Collection)
Movie Review: I was worried for no reason!!! (Small spoilers in review)
Summary: 4 Stars
When I first heard about this movie, I thought... Adam Sandler, can he do this kind of part? I was not disappointed! I started to wonder if PTA picked him because of his ability to show rage or the fact that he can play some very different types of characters. Punch Drunk Love starts out with Barry Egan, a man who runs his own business, and basically has no life. He has seven sisters who still terrorize him, constantly reminding him of stupid things he had done as a child and calling him names.
One night, he calls a phone sex line, possibly because he was lonely and wanted someone to talk to. All of a sudden, his life is not just about manufacturing plungers for Las Vegas hotels!
One of his sisters introduces him to a girl named Lena, played by Emily Watson. Barry is a pretty strange guy, but Lena seems to find it attractive. He stumbles upon a marketing flaw within Healthy Choice foods and frequent flyer miles. (Apparently, something like this really happened... inspired by a TIME article) Next, he is on a mission, buying pudding at every turn.
One might say that there is not a whole lot going on with this movie, but I would disagree. I don't think that the story was the strongest part of this film, but I think that the humor kept me going, wondering what was going to be said or done next. I laughed out loud in the theater and that doesn't happen very often. If you really like offbeat characters and unpredictable humor, this movie is probably for you. Not your typical romantic comedy.
