The tales I can tell...I won't. Don't ask. Tequila and I have a love/hate relationship. I digress. ( Punch Drunk Love" is awesome. And tequila might have helped greased someone's wheel. *coughs*Oliver*coughs* And lemme tell you why this story rocks. There's smuff (smut and sugar - done frigging excellently might I add), the characters - all of them down to the tertiary characters came across as real people, the story was cute - a geeky martial arts competitor falls for the top dog in their gym/school/dojo (forgive me I suck with sports terms) and a unicorn costume that gets put to great use. Me-ow. It's feel good and smexy, Oliver and Derek will make you smile. I read with a smile on my face but my smile is for something a lil' different. See I happen to own a unicorn decode ring/horn (it changes when it needs too) and there were little things peppered throughout this story that makes me applaud this author. I smiled, I pouted, I laughed. I am unicorn happy. My horn's sparkling at the moment. FUCKING LOVED THIS STORY - from cover to The End. 4.5 STARS" Chaos lurks in every corner of this giddily off-kilter foray into romantic comedy by Paul Thomas Anderson. Struggling to cope with his erratic temper, novelty-toilet-plunger salesman Barry Egan (Adam Sandler, demonstrating remarkable versatility in his first dramatic role) spends his days collecting frequent-flyer-mile coupons and dodging the insults of his seven sisters. The promise of a new life emerges when Barry inadvertently attracts the affection of a mysterious woman named Lena (Emily Watson), but their budding relationship is threatened when he falls prey to the swindling operator of a phone sex line and her deranged boss (played with maniacal brio by Philip Seymour Hoffman). Fueled by the careening momentum of a baroque-futurist score by Jon Brion, the Cannes-award-winning Punch-Drunk Love channels the spirit of classic Hollywood and the whimsy of Jacques Tati into an idiosyncratic ode to the delirium of new romance.
