Adam Sandler stars in the tale of an Israeli commando that fakes his death to go after his ultimate dream of becoming a hairstylist. This in and of itself sounds fairly outrageous and with Sandler, Robert Smigel and Judd Apatow involved on the writing end, we certainly can expect a film that is perhaps even wilder than even the trailers suggest!

Romance blooms in one of the best romantic comedies this decade has seen.

“I like the idea of dressing the romantic leads in a matching style. Here it reinforces what’s obvious to everyone but Barry and Lena: that they belong together.”

With the portrayal of Barry, Adam Sandler shows he can just as easily play complex characters as he can more straight forward comedic ones.

“Designing with blues is not something you usually do because they’re so sensitive on film. But it worked very well for us because Paul (Thomas Anderson) was really interested in replicating the feeling of Technicolor. If you look at On the Town or An American in Paris, they weren’t afraid to use color then.”

Wonderful comedic and upbeat scene in Paul Thomas Anderson’s Punch-Drunk Love.

“The challenge was to create something different by taking a more intuitive, uncharted approach than on our previous films. What Paul (Thomas Anderson) said to us, essentially, was, ‘I’m not sure where we’ll begin, but let’s not begin here, in this familiar place.’… Which meant that we all – Paul, the actors, the crew – were trying to relearn our jobs in some fundamental way.”

Got pudding?

“After Magnolia, which was a huge, dark, challenging movie, I think Paul (Thomas Anderson) wanted to make something that was contained, uplifting and sweet.”
