punch drunk love

I saw Punch Drunk Love tonight. I feel that the anticipation was worth it. Paul Thomas Anderson will be hard pressed to ever top his epic Magnolia but that's not to say he doesn't do a fine job anyway. Adam Sandler did an excellent job, much to his nay-sayers chagrin I'm sure.. he was a believable Barry Egan. Never let anyone give ole PTA crap about taking too long with his movies, the results are worth. The only complaint I have about the film is that the character Emily Watson portrayed didn't have much, if any, background to her.. but I suppose in the end, the ambiguity was on purpose.. and very effective.
