A good Adam Sandler movie?

And I'm not just talking about the drunk at three in the morning movie that keeps you awake 'til sobriety looms on the horizon good.

Punch-Drunk Love

It's directed by the same person that gave us Magnolia, which I have never seen, apparently.

I have to say that I really enjoyed it and despite a brief moment of Sandler's gurning at the start, he also is good.

I won't drop spoilers in the first post as I really liked not having a clue about what the film was about.

Reccomendable, and highly so in my marvelous book of things what I are reccomending.

There's also the upcoming Anger Management. Does Sandler pull his usual schtick? Yup, though it seems the payoff takes a while.

But it does have Jack Nicholson in a performance that crams in all the fun he didn't have making About Schmidt, and Jack having a good larf is always a gold star in my book. Jack prolly had to down a handful of thorazine before each take, but that's fine, too.

Hollywood nonsense? Sure, but since Jack's only got a few more flicks in him, let the guy have a good time.

Peep the trailer, yo.

ANGER MANAGEMENT looks funn... didn't really dig PUNCH DRUNK LOVE much... and it seemed to end much to soon.
