   I hate starting things off here with "people my age". But when I talk about   
   our favorite Adam Sandler movies with friends, most likely its going to be   
   drawn into conversations about Happy Gilmore, The Wedding Singer, Billy   
   madison, The waterboy...  maybe even 50 First Dates.   
      
   I really didn't like those movies too much, because Sandler can only play that   
   angry buffoon before the movie gets a bit boring.   
      
   But Punch-drunk Love is different. Its an art-film that takes that   
   seething anger that Sandler is famous for, and showcased it perfectly. That    
   movie really showcased his talent perfectly in a very dramatic role.   
      
   Its one of my favorite movies of all time.... and I have a lot of movies.   
      
   Emily Watson played the girlfriend role perfectly. Everything about this movie   
   I thought was perfect. The Shelley Duvall "Popeye" soundtrack, the annoying    
   sisters, the angry Philip Seymour Hoffman performance.   
      
   "Two thumbs up... way up".
