Punch-Drunk Love
AroView: Popular mainstream comic Adam Sandler takes a left turn for art-house director Paul Thomas Anderson in this doggedly off-beat yet beguiling romantic comedy.
Extending his goofy screen persona in more surreal directions, he plays a socially awkward toilet plunger salesman with seven domineering sisters, who increasingly has trouble containing his violent impulses. A crisis of transformation begins when attractively goofy Emily Watson enters his life and offers him unconditional love. Although not quite a knockout, this strays far enough from the usual romantic cliches to stake out its own originality.
