Punch Drunk Love

The screenplay of the new film from Paul Thomas Anderson, director of Boogie Nights and Magnolia.Barry Egan (Adam Sandler) is a small businessman with seven sisters who tease him mercilessly. He thinks himself unable to fall in love. But when a mysterious woman (Emily Watson) enter his life, romance finally beckons.''Love is strange', the old rock lyric insists, and it's never been stranger, more unsettling and more exuberantly unexpected than in the daring high-wire act Paul Thomas Anderson shrewdly calls Punch-Drunk Love. Charming and outlandish by turns, this misfit love story of disconnected people trying to find one another in an antagonistic world is a comedy of discomfort and rage that turns unexpectedly sweet and pure.'
