schmittie-26226 What a mess. Want to go crazy? Watch this movieI'd say this is the worst Adam Sandler movie by lightyears. Could be classified as his experimental for acting, could be government propaganda, or could be a complete failure. Or all threeWould not recommend to anyone.

Nelson Strang I clearly just don't get PTA. Boogie Nights was kind of alright, but this is another one of his that just makes me go "Huh?" If PTA was going for a magic realist vibe, the tone is completely inconsistent. Are we supposed to laugh at the main character or empathise with him? What does Emily Watson's character see in him? How does Sandler's business afford so many staff? None of these questions are remotely addressed by the film and so it's a disappointment from start to finish.

tomnuke Punch-drunk love is really good. It's flawless. From the great acting, great cinematography, great dialogue, and an unexpectedly great score. There are plenty of subtle moments in the film. For example the clothes of the characters perfectly reflect their character. Adam Sandler's character wears a blue suit, representing his current state of depression which he would like to keep a secret, while Emily Watson's character has a red dress, which represents an inner anger and rage from previous failed attempts at love, that Adam Sandler constantly tries to acquire for the whole film. Everything in this film is done so great. This film's score made this movie feel like a musical. It's amazing. Everyone needs to at least watch the film once. Paul Thomas Anderson is one the best directors currently working

Ian (Flash Review)This is an unusual and uneven romantic tale about an unstable protagonist (Sandler) who lives a somber and solitary life until a woman enters the scene. For some unknown reason the female love interest is attracted to him and attempts to pierce his awkward outer shell while semi-surreal and dangerous incidents occur all around him, which also appears to increase her interest in him. The random incidents are interesting yet are difficult to fully tie back to the story or perhaps they are there to create a peculiar atmosphere. The other story lines are Sandler finds a sweepstakes loophole with a specific brand of pudding and after he buys an egregious amount of pudding packages, he tries to claim the prize immediately as well as him avoiding getting blackmailed a separate awkward incident. Will he be able to conquer his emotional baggage and his peculiar situations and open up for romance? Complimenting a quirky soundtrack, there was a running symbolic theme of telephones that is open to interpretation. It was an interesting and well- produced film with clunky pacing and perhaps a bit too vague for most people; great cinematography.
