SunnyHello Nice effects though.
MoPoshy Absolutely brilliant
InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
Allissa .Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
Horst in Translation ([email protected]) This is a 2-minute sketch that shows us famous actor Adam Sandler at a furniture store. The director is Paul Thomas Anderson and he made this one over 10 years ago right after the two collaborated on the pretty successful "Punch Drunk Love". Sandler's character gets sucked in a couch and, for whatever reason, makes weird martial arts moves afterward and then takes place in an armchair. Very carefully he does so in order to avoid what happened with the couch. Still no happy ending for his character here. this was a fairly strange watch. I cannot say I found this funny, even if I like Sandler and Anderson more than most people do I guess. In the end, it just felt like random screaming to me. One of the worst works for the duo I'm afraid. Not recommended.
Torgo_Approves So let me get this straight: this short is terrible, but Sandler fighting Bob Barker is classic comedy? There are two ways of looking at this flick. The first is the obvious one; to see the short as something pointless and random that PTA and Sandler put together because they could and because they had a good time doing it. But I prefer the other interpretation; this is PTA's own way of giving the people what they want. After suffering through two hours of great acting and subtleties in Punch Drunk Love, Sandler's fans finally get what they ask for from him: mugging, stupidity and screaming. The short isn't funny, that's the point. The joke is on the Happy Gilmore fans. Now that's hilarious.
mclayfield Paul Thomas Anderson's "Couch" is a fairly good example of how a dolly and a film camera don't always make a good film. However, it is an interesting short to watch, just in terms of where it fits in his filmography, especially so soon after "Punch-Drunk Love".If people found it harder to pinpoint the sources of Anderson's inspiration in "Punch-Drunk Love", "Couch" provides an answer of sorts.It's funny, and I laughed, but only the first time.But you also have to remember that this film isn't meant to be reviewed, nor even taken seriously. It's a dumb short, and shame on me for treating it otherwise. See it, enjoy it, don't expect much more from it.Done and done.
mystfan00 I saw this when it was "Premiered" on Comedy Central's "Night of Too Many Stars". Sure, I laughed, but it wasn't anything special. The screaming and moaning that Sandler did kind of reminded me of Fatty McGee on Adam's album "They're All Gonna Laugh At You". So if you liked that track, you'll like this very, very short film (less than 3 minutes long).
