Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

CommentsXp Best movie ever!

Isbel A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Brooklynn There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

Emmlier Anyone expecting to see the usual Sandler fluff, steer clear of this film, it's not for you. Sandlers films are very hit and miss for me, I like as many as I dislike, and I guess I should admit to loving a bit of fluff.This was difficult to watch for me, mostly in a good way, I actually experienced the pain Sandlers character is living.He plays Nick, a loner, socially awkward and prone to bouts of aggression, mostly as a result of his frustrations related to his overbearing, bullying sisters, 7 of them, and being blackmailed by a sex line worker. The way this is filmed and it's use of empty space, streets, roads, and discordant music serve to illustrate how bleak his life is and how much pain he is in. It actually hurt to watch it, you just want something to take away Nicks pain, and thankful it does in the form of Emily Watson. I could only watch this film once, but as I said in my first line, it may be the finest piece of drama Adam Sandler has ever done.

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

jlcpaulson Hate these characters and the plot. But what is even worse is the soundtrack. For some viewers perhaps it is engaging to see Adam Sandler in this role or they are intrigued by the quirky story but this was not an enjoyable movie experience. No resemblance to real life or real people.

Floated2 Punch-Drunk Love is a relatively different Adam Sandler, mainly because it isn't typically an "Adam Sandler" film in which people would say. It isn't his Happy Gilmore company production in which he has had in past comedies, so it could be labeled more of a Paul Thomas Anderson film just with Sandler starring. This film is widely considered to be the best or one of the best films starring Adam Sandler as he is portraying somewhat of a different character in a different tone of a film. Not so much a wacky or silly toilet humor comedy in which he has done, but a more mature dark comedy with sides of serious drama and comedy here and there.Punch-Drunk Love is an odd comedy which can be described as a romantic comedy and dark comedy, as it contains both elements. The film is quite different and not predictable at times which is why it works. Although very short in run time, it could have developed another layer of story but that's fine. Maybe a little overrated due to hatred of Sandler, in which people claim this is his only great dramatic film or great performance, but nonetheless Punch-Drunk Love appears to be the film which non-Sandler fans like or praises the most.
