Barry Egan is Sandler's character from the 2002 movie "Punch-Drunk Love".

The movie centers around Barry Egan, a socially impaired small business owner who is continually hounded by his seven sisters. Their abuse has kept him alone and unlikely to find romance unless romance finds him. In an attempt to resolve his loneliness, while having a vulnerable moment, Barry contacts a phone sex operator who, in turn threatens him with blackmail. Connected to a larger business network, the operator send some thugs on a mission from Utah to California, to follow, scare, and extort Barry. Barry becomes desperate, until a new door opens in his life.

One odd morning a harmonium first appears in the street then a striking mysterious young woman (played by Emily Watson) asks for his help with her car. It is all the work of one of his sisters who fixes him up with the lovely young English woman, Lena, who has rather quirky qualities herself.

Barry's emotions go haywire, fluctuating between lust, self-doubt, and uncontrollable rage. Nonetheless, he will embark upon whatever adventure it takes, just to have a shot at true romance.
