Punch Drunk Love

[Mike Olbinski]

Anyone see this flick?

Wife and I rented it, and it was a weird movie, but I really liked it. The casting of Sandler was perfect for the part he played...

The music in the background was awesome, making your feel nervous almost, like Sandler was feeling in some scenes.

Anyways, for those that have seen it, anyone know what the significance of that mini-piano was?

Mike, just watched it tonight. All I can say is I am deeply disturbed - lol. Sandler did such a good job in that movie that my husband and I were both totally uncomfortable watching it. It was almost unbearable to sit through some of the scenes. Great movie, but so, ...... strange. And I don't have a clue about the piano, but then the whole movie might push me to seek psychiatric help.

Funny, I just watched it Sunday afternoon. I took the piano as just a weird prop they threw in to make you wonder. it served no real prupose, except maybe it symbolized the beginning of him changing, or his changing. Especially how he kept working on it and fixing it up. He actually started working on it more as his realtionship progressed. I thought the scene with Jack Black and Sandler almost coming to blows was hilarious. Also, the pillow talk scene when Sandler and his girlfriend were talking about the violent things they were going to do to each other's faces because they were attracted to each other was great! Weirdest pillow talk I ever heard! Sandler and his sisters cussing each other out all the time was funny. especially when he was in Hawaii and his sister was busting his balls over her coworker! It was truely a black comedy!

My wife and I rented it a couple of weeks ago. We also were uncomfortable sitting through some of the scenes. Almost stressful to watch.

I'm just glad I don't have any sisters.

I have no clue what the Piano had to do with anything. What was up with all those funky color scenes?

Very Bizarre movie! To Artsy for me.

I recently watched this. Great movie, I really enjoyed it. Sandler did an incredible job.

That's exactly what I thought about the piano. It was a metaphor for his life. His life was a total wreck when the piano appeared. Both began to repair throughout the film.

I absolutely HATED this movie. I can safely say it was the worst movie I have ever seen. I would rather watch the sisterhood of the yaya girls or whatever thats called 34 times in a row before I watch that movie again

This movie was total garbage.

I thought it was great. Both funny and interesting at the same time.
