Everything about this film, technically speaking, is terrible. The editing, the camera work, the dialog, the plot; surprisingly amatuer film making from a seasoned writer/director. The film is a failed attempt at what would otherwise have been a masterpiece. The symbols... Full review

When I saw this movie, I thought this has gotta be one of Adam Sandler's worst movies and for the most part because I was expecting him to do his usual slapstick goof-off routines, but no this movie was actually one... Full review

This is a weird film. Not only being Adam Sandler's first drama but the story is different. Although seeing Adam Sandler beat the crap out of a gang was cool. Even though he can't beat Bob Barker he sure can beat... Full review

Paul Thomas Anderson’s Punch-Drunk Love was one of the best films of 2002. Adam Sandler honestly gives a brilliant controlled performance. Paul Thomas Anderson yet again proves that he is one of America’s great young directors.... Full review

Inspired by the actors, he wrote these parts for them specifically; and the reason is simply their appeal as actors, not their natural fit.
There is brio and energy here, a dismissive approach to the conventions of editing a story, and profound use of music and sound.

The miracle of the score is....Anderson kicks off the film in typically audacious fashion:....I sometimes find him funny....his characters are pathologically self-centered and nearly incapable of generating compassion for anyone else.....This clip only shows the second half of perhaps the film's greatest sequence.... ...

Eventually, he did find a movie he could like Sandler in: Paul Thomas Anderson 's " Punch-Drunk Love " (2002).
No doubt Sandler's regular fans will love this movie, which is a return to form after the brilliant 'Punch Drunk Love.
