This movie combined one of my favorite film people (director PT Anderson), with one of my most despised movie people (Adam Sandler, who I don't even feel comfortable calling a "film person"). Nevertheless, I truly enjoyed it. Emily Watson is divine, which should come as no surprise, and the breezy, nonchalant direction by Anderson is a welcome change from his sometimes heavyhanded work. Sandler, well, as much as it pains me to say it, Sandler's pretty good, and at an even 90 minutes, the film is a cool breath of fresh air.
