| | Punch-Drunk LoveSynopsis: He gave us Boogie Nights. Then Magnolia. And now visionary director P.T. Anderson graces us with this romantic comedy about oddball characters faced with even tougher odds. Adam Sandler (Waterboy, Bulletproof) is Barry Egan, a shy-on-the-outside, repressed-on-the-inside dude in need of love therapy, which he finds in Lena (Emily Watson, Gosford Park, Red Dragon). But before you cue the violins, try clashing cymbals instead, because Barry soon falls in with bad company when Dean Trumbell (Philip Seymour Hoffman, The Talented Mr. Ripley, Along Came Polly) starts extorting him after he makes the mistake of calling a phone-sex line. One true love. One true enemy. Guess there's only one true thing - Sandler's always knee-deep in something, and serving up a fair share of laughs. Casts: Adam Sandler, Emily Watson, Philip Seymour Hoffman Duration : 91 minutes
