Punch-Drunk Love (2002)

Punch-Drunk Love (2002, USA) C-95m. SCOPE ** D: Paul Thomas Anderson. Starring Adam Sandler, Emily Watson, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Luís Guzmán. Terminally weird drama about the life of (terminally weird) Sandler, who runs a sort-of garage shop but cannot deal with certain normal situations in life. Sometimes he flies into a rage, sometimes he just breaks out in tears. Is there love waiting for him somewhere? Not easily accessible drama has a fine performance by Sandler but script is basically empty. We never really find out what's wrong with the main character. A slight disappointment from the director of BOOGIE NIGHTS.
