Following
Boogie Nights and Magnolia, here
is Anderson's latest and most successful film, which has
drawn praise right across the critical spectrum. Not the
maverick Adam Sandler's typical role by a long chalk, we're
given a crazy take on romantic comedy as Barry (Sandler)
leads us through adventures of obsession, isolation and
ultimately love, when he encounters the mysterious, sweet-faced
stranger Lena (Emily Watson) who enhances and complicates
his existence. The darkness, anger, mystery, challenge and
hilarity evoked by Anderson's hero offer an experience we
felt you should not miss
