Punch-Drunk Love

ComedyDramaRomanceThriller96 min

Barry Egan is a small-business owner whose days are ruled by nervous rituals, sudden bursts of anger, and constant needling from his seven sisters. Adam Sandler's Barry sells novelty toilet plungers, hoards frequent-flyer coupons, and stumbles into a relationship with Lena (Emily Watson) just as a phone-sex call turns into a threat from a crew of scammers. Paul Thomas Anderson bends romance, comedy, and menace into something strange and tightly wound, with Barry's awkward courtship unfolding alongside panic, humiliation, and flashes of reckless resolve.
