punched in punched out
This movie one needs to have a couple of beers before it starts. As the movie progresses then add a couple more. That is what I should have done before I started to watch the Adam Sandler character that is tormented by his sisters. Not to mention whatever is going on in his head. The only solution to the movie is like I have stated is to watch it while getting a buzz and keeping a buzz while enjoying the beer, oh and not to mention the movie. From the beginning when he is asking about the frequent flyer miles on American Airlines and getting his Healthy Choice food it just seemed as though the two companies paid for the entire production. Barry Egan is Sandler's character’s name as he somehow falls in love with Lena. She is right up there with Barry missing a few cards from the deck. Between both of them you might be able to get a full deck, but don’t quote me on that. Barry calls a phone sex line and gets the squeeze put on him for money. (I should have had a third beer by now) He then gets an idea to call them back and requests his money back. Oh boy it gets better. Phillip Seymour Hoffman, makes the movie worth watching. Dean is his character’s name. He sends some of his hoodlums to take care of Barry. He gets pinched for some money then the movie turns sappy by him going off to Hawaii where he meets up with Lena. Barry then gets this testosterone filled persona and takes on the phone sex thugs and whips them good. He then takes on Dean as he goes to Utah and gets into a yelling match. I was waiting for the both of them to get into this knock down drag out midnight alley fight that lasted a long time. I was waiting at the end of my seat as all they did was yell. (This was the time I should have opened my fourth beer) It was a good movie that was better seen with a buzz. Would I see it again? Yes, even though I am not a drinking man I just might understand it more if I had a beer buzz going into it. Frank
