If you're expecting a gross-out goofy comedy, look somewhere else. This is one of the rare occasions where Adam Sandler has a serious role. I'm not the biggest fan of PT Anderson (I was disappointed by Boogie Nights) but I liked this movie.
Adam Sandler plays a man named Barry Egan who works in a warehouse. He has problems with social skills, I suspect it's Aspergers or something. Anyway, he calls a phone sex hot-line and the people who run it end up extorting money from him after he gives out his credit card information. Constantly, he is irritated by his sisters who give him a hard time and ends up falling for a girl. Along the way, we see who this character really is and how his temper has a short fuse.
It's fascinating to see this performance from Sandler, rather than the usual immature man-child that he plays so often. Quite weird of a movie but I ended up enjoying it!
