Genre- _comedy/ romance_
I tried watching it twice earlier, but stopped at the 5 minute mark. I willed myself this time to overcome my initial inhibition and was rewarded by a stunning work by Sandler and by a truly original script by PT Anderson.
1. Amongst Sandler's most non Sandler like performances, right up there with his best non typical work such as _Uncut Gems_ & _Reign over me_.
2. Sandler is gutsy to have done this risky role, which requires him to be rage- prone, socially awkward romantic at such a youngish age, back in 2001.
3. Paul Thomas Anderson used to be a near genius, with classics such as _Magnolia, Boogie Nights, There will be Blood, Hard Eight_ etc. This early effort of his is right alongside his later gems.
