Review

This unlikely pairing of actor and director brings out the best in both, and a wonderful surprise for romantic cinephiles. Sandler is at home in his usual role -- a likable, shy guy with a violent temper -- here a toilet plunger entrepreneur with seven viciously judgmental sisters. Insecure and lonely to the point of dialing a shady phone-sex line, and odd enough to wrangle frequent flier miles by buying pallets of pudding, he's nonetheless cautiously pursued by cute Brit Watson. Is there a reason for them to fall for each other? Not really, but isn't that how love works? There's attraction, a connection, and pillow talk like "I love you so much I want to rip out your eyeballs and suck on them" that simultaneously sounds funny, passionate, and just right for these two. Also in the mix are a wheezing harmonium, surreal Cinemascope scene-breaks of pure color, and an overwhelming sense of unpredictability. Director Anderson completely drops his cynical guard to create, in a purely cinematic language, a whimsical and exhilarating expression of puppy love.

--David Gorgos

Favorite Line

"I didn't do anything. I'm a nice man. I mind my own business. So you tell me 'that's that' before I beat the hell from you. I have so much strength in me you have no idea. I have a love in my life. It makes me stronger than anything you can imagine. I would say 'that's that', Mattress Man." – Adam Sandler as Barry
