Punch-Drunk Love

[nadroj1985]

Has anyone else seen this movie? It's one of the craziest things I've ever seen. Usually I like weird movies, but this one seemed a bit pointless, and it was oddly unsettling to me. I've never quite had this reaction to a movie before. Just interested in what you all thought...

loved it. was able to relate to it somehow...

I think my problem was that I wasn't able to relate to it at all. There is one thing I will give it; this movie showed me that Adam Sandler can act. His character must have been a challenge to play, and he pulled it off brilliantly.

I thought it was a really good movie, had to watch it a couple of times, but it grew on me......

Lets just say I really dont' like Adam Sandler's movies but with Punch Drunk and 50 First Dates he's reclaimed himself with me. Punch Drunk Love proved he can actually act instead of making lame and really unfunny jokes and inuendoes in a movie. I thought the movie was funny throughout but that was only after seeing it 3 or 4 times. 50 First Dates looked at first like a regular Adam Sandler movie but after Punch I had to see if he had moved on. Most Sandler movies are horribly acted, really stupid, and pretty much pointless and I thought 50 First Dates was a funny movie with some fairly well acting. So maybe Sandler has gotten the hang of the acting thing, but then again maybe not if you've seen the disaster that is 8 Crazy Nights

When I saw this, I seemed to be the only one who liked it. I could relate to Barry's problems, other than the sister deal. He just can't seem to get a break and when he does fall in love his sisters bash him. They just don't want him to be happy. I thought this film was funny and seriously sad. I recommend you see this and try to really feel for Barry and understand his dilemma. 4/5
