A new Adam Sandler comedy is one of only three American films competing for the top prize at this year’s Cannes Film Festival, which released its schedule yesterday.

“Punch-Drunk Love,” also starring Philip Seymour Hoffman and Emily Watson, will join “About Schmidt,” a Jack Nicholson drama in the 22-film dramatic competition.

The third U.S. film up for the Palm D’Or is “Bowling for Columbine,” a documentary from Michael Moore poking fun at the gun culture.

As previously announced, Woody Allen’s “Hollywood Ending” will open the 11-day festival on May 15. It will be shown out of competition, as will DreamWorks’ new animated feature “Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron,” as well as a 20-minute excerpt from Martin Scorsese’s “Gangs of New York,” starring Leonardo DiCaprio.

High-profile foreign directors in the competition include Roman Polanski, in his first Cannes appearance in 25 years with “The Pianist,” a semi-autobiographical Holocaust drama; and David Cronenberg with “Spider,” starring Ralph Fiennes.
