He was amazing in this but I'm afraid his other 'comedies' are dire. I think he's in a comfort zone, dong the same thing all the time. This was probably the high point of his career.

You don't need to be intelligent to like any film, you need to be able to appreciate the particular school of style that comes with the various movements and techniques of the film, which I personally believe is a waste of time. It just seems to be pretentious stylists trying to upstage each other. Not that this movie was bad, it was actually pretty good, but not because the director tried to mirror some other director.

What you don't understand is that this movie is not about the storyline. It's abot the style, the visuals. This movie is very clearly influenced by the French filmmaker from the 60s Jean-Luc Godard, whose scripts were always bizarre, random, unexpected, nonsensical (if you constrain yourself to think only in terms of classic, established conventions). His STYLE and INNOVATION with editing, lighting, cinematography, and the medium itself is what made him the most influential post-WW2 director.

You have to be smart to like a film like this, boogie night, magnolia, and the other films by this writer-director. You can't just say it's stupid because you don't get it.

this movie i just didnt understand it it just plainly had a stupid "very stupid'" story line it was just as if i was drunk sobbing my ass off and this relates =o

I totally agree. This is PTA's magical and transcendent film. As good as some of his others are (There Will Be Blood is very strong) this is the only one that explodes with so much passion and emotion that it has a life of its own.

Sandler is a fantastic actor, as is proven by this movie. Too bad he is too lazy to put in the time to do any quality films. Instead he just does shitty movies like "I Know Pronounce You Chuck and Larry" and "You Don't Mess With The Zohan". He has the skills to win an Academy Award, but he's just not interested in anything like that.
