Punch-Drunk Love

**Sandler Sunday 40: **Here it is. The best Sandler movie. And honestly as great as some of there others are, there really isn't competition for this number 1 place. This movie captures falling in love better than any other i have seen. Barry Egan is one of the all time best and most relatable protagonists and it is genuinely infuriating to see how badly everyone treats him just because he is different (likely has autism of some sort) and has issues. He's a very unconventional romance protagonist but that's what makes it so great. Someone like him finding and deserving love is just really cool to me idk. Like the power he feels now that someone is on his level and understands him for who he is makes him feel on top of the world. And of course Phillip Seymour Hoffman is great as the villain. The anxiety and offbeat chaos of this movie is perfect and it has such a unique vibe that fits how unique Barry is. Not to mention how hilarious this is. Just a great damn movie. Thank you to PTA and the Sandman for this masterpiece.
