****½
Director: Paul Thomas Anderson
Cast: Adam Sandler, Emily Watson, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Luis Guzman, Mary Lynn Rajskub, Robert Smigel
Barry Egan is a socially awkward and emotionally volatile man, who owns a toilet accessory business. Just when Barry finds an unexpected romance, he falls for a phone sex hotline scam. Paul Thomas Anderson's follow-up to the brilliant but relentlessly grim Magnolia is something completely different, an enjoyable and energy-filled oddity. The wonderful Adam Sandler and Emily Watson star in one of the sweetest, weirdest, and most unpredictable romantic comedies of all time.
