I thought, that the point of Punch Drunk Love is that there is someone for everyone---a proverbial lid for every metaphorical pot (or vice versa). I also thought that it was some kind of allegory about the healing power of love (the repair of the organ) and inspiration strength (fight with 4 hoods) and sacrifice (trip to Utah) that one goes through for the right person. Buy maybe I am just a romantic simp. A teary-eyed little nancy boy who believes that two people can make it in this crazy mixed up world of ours--even if one of them uses phone sex. I am sorry to see that you are so jaded that you didn't appreciate Mr. Sandler's caring sensitive side. Maybe he should keep playing silly clown-like caricatures for your amusement. He should be like the crown that cries on the inside b/c you and your SO won't let him act outside the box that his early roles placed him in. Let him be free, SEC. Maslow would want him to self-actualize--if he were still alive--and I think should want that for him too. Be a humanist just this once
