I think your full of shit. I'm very interested to what your other 4 movies are on your top-5 list. And if you think that was worse than Little Nicky, you belong in Therapy with Jack Nicholson. There was only one part that I laughed at in Little Nicky and that was sticking pineapples in Hitler's ass. Maybe you belong back in school, like Billy Madison, to learn how to use your head. The movie was a masterpiece. There were some glitches in it, but then again, it's not a movie for everybody. But even those that it's not for would realize that it's not a piece of shit. Sure, the love in it's awkward, but you have to admit, the phone sex scenes were pretty funny. It wasn't even a comedy anyways.

Your talking out your ASS. Punch Drunk Love is absolutely brilliant. I'll be grabbing the SVCD DVD Rip to replace my DVDScr, when i can afford it, i will be buying the DVD i think it's fantastic.

Genuinely funny, bleak, stark, a glimpse in to the mind of a depressive. I loved it, black humour at it's finest.

It's a movie where you have to actually interpet the meaning etc. You must hate it because you weren't told straight-out what the point of the film was.

No, I was just stating my opinion.

Punch Drunk Love is probably the only chance Sandler has ever gotten to actually expand his usual 2 dimensional full of rage yet nice guy character.
It moves way too slow for your average Sandler fan to pay attention to, but I loved it.

Oh and I also liked Little Nicky, even if the rest of the world didn't.
The Waterboy and Mr. Deeds can kiss my ass though.

I think Punchdrunk is Sandler's best performance to date. And the only serious role I've ever seen him play.

I guess Mr. Deeds was kinda serious, but funny too just like all his other films.

Punchdrunk Love is definately the best work he's done and the film he should be most proud of.

But I liked it best when he beat up those Utah teenage punks.

nope, sorry, I've been away from the forum for a few days ... otherwise I would have jumped in to help you out here, XXX. I think the movie was scheisse (pardon my French -- or is it German? eh, who can tell, these days ...) I think that Adam Sandler was indeed finally given his first chance at a non-typecast movie role and he fucked it up. People (critics, especially) are confusing "unmotivated" for "brilliant" and "not-in-character" for "original". All he did the whole movie was stare deadpan at various angles with respect to the camera.

AND HE STILL HAD TO BREAK THINGS!!! lol. just when you thought he might finally break free of his Waterboy/Happy Gilmore/Billy Madison mentality, he had to go and be juvenile. of course, in Punch Drunk Love, his juvenile mentality wasn't as simplistic as that in all his previous films -- it was clearly part of a more richly structured persona. But he still didn't play the part well. I thought he developed his non-typecast persona a little bit better in "Anger Management", but there was still that horrid deadpan stare. yuck.

Anyways, aside from Sandler, I thought the movie was awful. Yes, it was an interesting look at a troubled character, and perhaps I could identify with some of the characters. And Luis Guzman did help out a lot ... I really like that guy. But overall, I do not watch movies in order to be exposed to the nasty, indigestion-like malaise that is the pathetic, wallowing-in-self-pity human.

I give it a 3/10. And that rating is only that high because it's been 3 or so months since I rm -rf'd it and I've forgotten some of what was so nasty about it.
