An emotionally repressed salesman woos his sister's colleague but blackmailers from a phone sex line complicate matters. I hate Adam Sandler, I think he is the least funny man on the planet. I have been conned into watching his films in the past because of the talent associated (...( read more)
The only Paul Thomas Anderson/Adam Sandler film I like, and I really like this one!
A perfectly built film experience. Everything fits in its right place: the lead character (astonishingly portrayed with dexterity and depth by an uncanny Adam Sandler) and the road to true love.
What's the difference between this and other lame love stories? This one takes you d...( read more)

Adam Sandler's quirkiest role, this PTA is not his average, and yes is borderline rom-com territory (a genre I've seen way too much of) in American film.
I've always loved the I'm not going to be pushed around anymore characters. I couldn't stand all the people who were shitting on him constantly, even his own family. I don't think I've ever had a "Fuck Yeah" moment louder than the scene where he beats the shit outta the 4 guys wh...( read more)
