I'm a big-time Paul Thomas Anderson fan. Don't forget what he did with Wahlberg in Boogie Nights and Cruise in Magnolia.Early impressions of Punch-Drunk Love are extremely favorable. Could spell a turn for Sandler.
Don't forget that early in Steve Martin's career he did some pretty forgettable stuff.
Follow Ups:
Paul Thomas Anderson has already won best director at this year's Cannes Festival for PDL. Now, that said, NO ONE on this board has
a lower opinon of the films of Adam Sandler than myself (this generation's Jim Varney). Yet it is Anderson's contention that Sandler is a genuis. . . Time will tell. PTA DID get a performance out of Marky Mark that I never expected and I hope that Sandler surpasses my expectations here as well.
I'm a huge fan of PTA's work. I expect that whoever is cast in his films will be well cast in those characters, and that PTA will draw excellent to great performances from them. Adam Sandler has done nothing but garbage in the past, but then, he wasn't working with directors nearly as talented as PTA, and didn't have material anywhere near the caliber of that in PTA's films. I was stunned and astonished by the stylistic originality of Boogie Nights and Magnolia, and I can't wait to see PDL.
