Another off beat film from the mind of Paul Thomas Anderson, this time it is a romantic comedy starring Adam Sandler and Emily Watson. Sandler turns in an astounding performance as a slightly neurotic man filled with anger issues, who suddenly discovers a woman he can relate too. His challenges with women, as well as his suppressed rage, seem to stem from the relationships he has with his seven controlling and interfering sisters.
Sandler has never been better, unfortunately his fans didn't respond to the comedians attempt to try some real acting and the film was a commercial failure. The movie also features Philip Seymour Hoffman as a con man who preys on lonely men.
A very unique film that will not be every one's cup of tea.
At The Movie House rating *** stars
