Punch-Drunk Love (2002)

The best film Adam Sandler ever made.

[10/10 · 26 April 2013]

This film is a mix of many different elements all pulled together into a dark comedy that in my opinion has not been equaled since it's debut. The characters are quirky and unforgettable. There is scene after scene of Adam Sandler doing something besides his now cliché SNL style comedy routines.

Comparing this to his other films is ridiculous, it's a whole other deal. This was such a refreshing change for me from Hollywood blockbusters that were being forced on me when this came out in the theater. I admit it, I was skeptical before I watched it. I am so glad I did though, it's just an amazing film and if you have not seen it stop what you're doing and watch it ASAP.

A good movie - but not a great movie

[5/10 · 26 April 2013]

After reading through the other reviews, having watched this one a few days ago I thought I should chime in. It's pretty clear that people have a mixed reaction to this one. Love, hate, and like me, middle of the road.

Is this a good movie? Yes. Is it a great movie. No. Is it worth the time it takes to watch it? If you are just hanging around bored I would say yes, should you postpone important plans to watch this ASAP? No, definitely not. It is funny, it does have hot girls, the story is a bit uninspired but hasn't every single iteration of every comedy ever made already been churned out? Compared to a lot of trashcan garbage I have been seeing lately this was a welcome change to be honest.
