"I sometimes cry a lot....for no reason."

This is the Adam Sandler I'd like to see more of. He's performance was both funny and heart-breaking at the same time. But I couldn't bring myself to watch another Sandler film after this. He's gotten so lazy and doesn't bother staring in theses type of movies anymore. This film perfectly demonstrates that he's capable of more than what he's famous for. You can see the boiling rage inside of Sandler character and tries to contain it. He acts nice around other people and finds joy in the strangest way.

There's nothing else quite like it. The lighting, camera movements, framing, timing, and EXTREME attention to detail bring this film to a whole other level. Paul Thomas Anderson is lighting in the bottle.

Oh and Philip Seymour Hoffman stole the show with his "SHUT UP!".

This movie is very weird. So weird I could not enjoy it, I'm afraid.

Adam Sandler was really great in this. Its a different movie and not for everyone.

Too strange for me :S

A movie plot about a lower IQ man who has been verbally abused by his sisters that has an aftermath of control/impulse issues, who ends ups falling in love. But the movie has all kinds os scenes throughout the film that makes one think that the writer was drunk when they wrote the script. So many scenes, especially towards the end of the film when Barry (main character) realizes he loves Lena (main character's lover) back, when one is like "what am I watching."

I don’t think I’ve ever felt that amount of sheer uncomfort-turned-satisfaction in my life, and I don’t know if I ever will again.

You could probably condense this movie into a 10 minute short while still retaining the level of emotion which was attempted to be displayed.

Contrary to the others commenting on here - I thought it was weird and I enjoyed it. :)

Indeed a weird movie and not in a good way.

This instantly just became one of my favourite films

Charming and funny, Punch-Drunk Love is an eccentric romantic comedy from P.T. Anderson. After finding a harmonium in the street Berry Egan’s life undergoes a bizarre turn of events as he’s pursued by a beautiful woman and is extorted by a crooked phone-sex company. Adam Sandler and Emily Watson lead the cast and deliver excellent performances that really capture the tone of the material. Sandler’s performance in particular is especially compelling and has a lot of depth. And Anderson’s directing is exquisite, with a marvelous use of light and color. The music is also extraordinarily well-done, and accentuates the emotional tones of the scenes. Exceptionally well crafted, Punch-Drunk Love is a brilliant film that delivers a quirky and touching story.
