Adam Sandler at the Gables Cinema!? Only in a PTA film.
Barry Egan (Sandler) is just trying to get by with a boring office job and crippling anxiety exacerbated by his seven sisters. When Lena Leonard (Emily Watson) orchestrates a meet cute with a harmonium and a car crash, Barry’s world begins to get a little bit brighter. Along the way, he exploits a loophole in a Healthy Choice promotion on airline miles by buying crates of pudding and has a run in with Dean Trumball (Philip Seymour Hoffman in one of his most memorable performances) who runs a call center out of a mattress store in Provo, Utah. With interstitials video pieces by contemporary artist Jeremy Blake and a score by the ever present Jon Brion to bolster the whole thing, it’s no wonder Paul Thomas Anderson snagged best directing honors at Cannes for a romcom like no other.
