PS Hoffman was pretty cool, Sandler was suprisingly good and the movie itself was nice too

That's that!

My favorite Paul Thomas Anderson film. It's essentially a romantic comedy, but one with enough charming eccentricity and impressive camerawork to rise far above the murky depths typically associated with such a label. This is without question Adam Sandler's finest role.

Adam Sandler is a quirky dude doing quirky things in a quirky movie by P.T. Anderson. The main flaw is Adam Sandler himself. He's such an annoying presence and completely overexposed for the MTV generation that it takes you out of the film instantly. Even though the entire premise of the film is a realistic look at the "Adam Sandler" type character it still feels very contrived. This is P.T. Anderson's worst film in my opinion but even then it's still competently shot.

I really like it if I assume that everything after the door-kicking scene is the fantasy of Sandler's character - it's exactly what a man who doesn't view women as people would fantasize. But that's not supported within the film itself, so it's just a cardboard drama with no reason for the characters to act as they do.

A unique film, has unusual comedy and some quite funny moments. Well worth the watch.

A comedy of knee-jerk quirkiness about a major-league misfit impersonated by Sandler. One hardly knows which is more of a shock: that the star of _Billy Madison_ and _Happy Gilmore_ turns out to want to play Hamlet, or that the maker of the two-and-a-half-hour _Boogie Nights_ and the three-hour _Magnolia_ can be content to make a mere ninety-minute movie. It's a cinch, in any case, that Sandler's character is not far enough removed from his usual nudniks

I felt sorry for the main character and kept wondering how he ends up. Maybe not a movie to watch multiple times.....

As a whole it didn't do a lot for me, but the sum of its parts is greater than its whole. Nothing is really tired together very well and I didn't really feel anything about what was happening. All of the usual great PTA staples are here, great cinematography, great casting, interesting story, interesting characters and a really great soundtrack. Adam Sandler and his character are great, as is the ridiculous nature of his relationship with his sisters. Also, it's pretty damn funny.

I'd give it a negative 100 if I could. absolute worst movie ever, painful painful to sit through the entire thing.

Punch Drunk Love is not only to be seen because of Sandler's unusual performance but because the sometimes brilliant camera work, the comforting love story, and P.T. Anderson's style. ... Do not aspect incredible depth in all this but be amazed by the wit and Adam Sandler. (never expected to be saying that last one)

Adam Sandler proves that he has more to offer than jokes for the lowest common denominator.

Every worthless clown-actor has his redeeming film. Jim Carrey has Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind; Will Ferrel has Stranger Than Fiction; Adam Sandler has this one.
