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.

It wasn't the greatest thing I've ever seen, but it certainly was enjoyable. I don't remember when I saw it, but I do recall seeing it and not being very amused. Adam Sandler basically returned to his days of stupid (but funny) comedy that only rivals skits on SNL.

P.T. Anderson's 'Couch' consists entirely of Adam Sandler, with a chaplin-esque smile on his face, walking into a furniture store and enjoying himself as he sits on two couches. It's not like this was taking seriously, it's fairly obvious that Anderson and Sandler had some time off from filming the brilliant 'Punch-Drunk Love' and wanted to have some fun. I can't help but love this two minute piece of gold. I hope these guys work together again in the future, whether it be a short such as this, or a full length feature.
