Punch Drunk Love (2002)

Paul Thomas Anderson’s ode to the desires and frustrations of the lonely and repressed. Adam Sandler’s first real dramatic performance is notable not just because he pulls it off, but that you completely forgot the Adam Sandler so popular with teenagers of the 1990's. Emily Watson is perfectly cast as the love interest. You know this movie is nothing like Marty (1955), but it’s the Marty of this generation. Can you believe this same guy directed There Will Be Blood? Four out of Five.

I compleatly disagree, I think this is one of the worst movies I've ever seen! I feel like Simon from American Idol right now but it's true, it was horrible.
