Punch-Drunk Love (2002)

Title: Punch-Drunk Love (2002)

Genre: Romantic Comedy (?)

Rating: R

Running Time: 95 Minutes

Director: Paul Thomas Anderson

Main Actors: Adam Sandler, Emily Watson, Phillip Seymour Hoffman, Luis Guzman, Mary Lynn Rajskub

Plot: The plot is to be weird. The movie follows a guy who has some kind of personality disorder.

My Take

This is a romantic comedy? Really? Doesn't that mean it is supposed to be romantic and funny? I'd even settle for romantic OR funny. Weird. I don't know if I was drunk when I was watching this movie, but I'm pretty sure the director was drunk while he was directing this movie. Paul Thomas Anderson was named best director for his work on this movie? Who the hell was presenting that award? I will make it a point to avoid ALL Paul Thomas Anderson films in the future.

Should You Watch???

This movie is not for the masses. I actually don't know who the target audience is for this movie. I really tried to like this movie. I really, really tried. I tried really hard to understand all the weird lighting, sounds, dialogue, locations, plot, etc. I gave this movie chance, but it's just not good. Avoid this movie at all costs.

Should You Watch???

I’ll let some of the quotes in the movie do the talking. You decide.

Quotable

“Welcome to foot…BALL” (female kicker kicks DT you can guess where)

Woman says, “Up yours Phil!” Man replys, “She called me Phil?”

Blake says, “This beer’s on me.” Guy pours beer on Blake, “Now the beer is on you.”

“I’m going to kill you. You’re mine!”

“The ball is my friend”

“How could the refs call that? It was a clean kick to the facemask.”

“Holy Columbus Ohio”

Woman “Are you Ok?” Blake, “Uh no, I was just hit in the head with a racquet ball.”

“If I wanted a big brother, I wouldn’t have killed mine.”
