Caution: nuthin' but spoilers.

Okay. This guy named Barry Egan (Adam Sandler) owns a small business. And he grew up with a bunch of sisters who have never been very nice to him, I guess. And he occasionally freaks out and breaks things. And one day he meets a woman named Lena Leonard (Emily Watson), who works with one of his sisters, and she likes him. But before they start dating each other, one night he calls a phone sex line just for like a conversation. And after that the woman he talked to starts calling him everywhere and threatening him and demanding money. And some guys come to force money out of him. But once he and Lena get together, and he falls in love, he gains strength and confidence from this love, and threatens the people who stole from him, and when they show up to hurt him and end up hurting Lena, he channels his destructive energies against them instead of running in fear as he normally would. Eventually he even tracks down their boss to demand an apology. And that's about all I can say. I didn't care that much for the movie overall, it was really weird and didn't have much of a plot and was kind of boring I thought, even though I felt for Barry all along. And I'm glad he found love. But I probably wouldn't even mention the movie if not for the latter part, after he started fighting back. That, I thought, was cool.

Edit: I find a kind of strange irony (or circular logic?) in the fact that I normally like weird movies more than most people do, so it's unusual for me to dislike a movie specifically because it's weird... but there are people who are probably more normal than me, who usually don't like weird movies, but who like this movie a lot more than I do. Then again, there are probably a lot of people who usually like weird movies at least as much as I do, who like this a lot more than I do. So... whatevs, maybe it isn't even so much the weirdness that I don't like about it, but... just the boringness. And it's quite possible many people wouldn't find it nearly as boring as I do. (Some might even call it their favorite Adam Sandler movie, or even the only Sandler movie they actually like.) So, you know... my opinion isn't really important.
