Barry Egan, un trentenaire timide et complexé, passe le plus clair de son temps à collectionner les bons d'achat d'une marque de gâteaux. Depuis sa plus tendre enfance, il est accaparé par ses sept harpies de soeurs, si bien qu'il n'a jamais eu le temps de faire sa vie, ni de tomber amoureux. Jusqu'au jour où l'une d'entre elles lui organise un rendez-vous avec une troublante jeune femme se nommant Lena Leonard...

Chaos lurks in every corner of this giddily off-kilter foray into romantic comedy by PAUL THOMAS ANDERSON (There Will Be Blood, Boogie Nights). 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 affections 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). Fuelled by the careening momentum of a baroque futurist score by JON BRION (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Magnolia), the Cannes-award-winning Punch-Drunk Love channels the spirit of classic Hollywood musicals and the whimsy of Jacques Tati into an idiosyncratic ode to the delirium of new romance.
