I liked Punch-Drunk Love
when it first came out 17 years ago, and I watched it again to see what
I would think of it now. It's not a movie for everybody, but it hits
perfectly for me. I can totally identify with Barry. The
soundtrack gets a bit obtrusive, and the plot isn't terribly realistic.
But I love the humor, and the way his sisters act is a spot-on
representation of how people really are.
I generally haven't hated Adam Sandler movies. I liked 50 First Dates. I liked Billy Madison, although I was nine when I saw it, so my opinion might change if I saw it again. I think he eventually went south with the dumb comedies, though, and I haven't seen him in anything for a long time.
I saw Punch-Drunk Love when it came out, but that was 17 years ago, which is insane to think about. I liked it then.
