The TVI Take
A socially anxious plunger wholesaler falls in love. Paul Thomas Anderson's most formally radical film — the color theory, Jon Brion's score, and Adam Sandler's performance create something completely unlike any other romantic comedy.
Educational about social anxiety. Sandler's finest work.
