You Don’t Mess with the Zohan

There are those that hate Adam Sandler movies and those that defend them. Early on I was one that defended them. He first movies had him playing similar parts and I understand him wanting to branch out to different types of characters, but what in the hell is he thinking sometimes? I have but haven’t watched his last two movies(which look pretty good) but thought i would give this a shot since it seemed so over the top. I can not actually believe this got the green light. Admittedly there were a few times i laughed but those were few and far between. In the end I really just wanted my 2 hours back. It took me almost 4 hours to get through it. i was so bored i kept pausing to do something else. i didn’t rate this super low because it did have a few moments and i do appreciate the filmmakers desire to whatever they wanted, despite what i am sure they were told. I can promise that i will not watch this again though. I was also disappointed that one of my favorite actors, John Turturro, couldn’t even save this. i guess in hindsight the poster should have tipped me off.

My rating 4.0 out of 10

Here is the trailer.
