Barry Egan (Adam Sandler) is a timid, lonely man that suffers from fits of rage, stemming from being the only son in a family that had seven other daughters. One strange day brings a broken harmonium, a caring woman, and a nefarious band of phone-sex thugs into Barry’s mild-mannered life. Through his newly discovered love, Barry taps into a deeply hidden inner strength that he uses to overcome his perpetual defenselessness.
