Adam Sandler is Great

Punch Drunk Love was great. I saw it almost two weeks ago, but with my busy schedule lately, I haven't had much time to sit around discussing my recent movie-going experiences with you and your friend Charles. But in case ol' Chuck is still around:

I had no idea what to expect from this film. At all. And I think that was the best possible way to go into it, as I felt extremely satisfied both during and after watching it. The characters were strange, funny, and sad all at the same time yet remarkably entertaining. Adam Sandler in particular does a fantastic job in PDL, and no matter what anyone tells you, this is not an Adam Sandler movie.

He felt fresh and unique, something I wasn't necessarily expecting even though I had been told to, and fit absolutely perfectly into the role and film. He made this movie what it is, in a way I never expected.

I'm not a PT Anderson fan, in the least, but this movie was beyond worth seeing. If you have a chance, please do so.
