Adam Sandler’s latest starrer entitled “You Don’t Mess with the Zohan” is getting mixed reviews. According to New York Times’ A.O. Scott – the movie is “The finest post-Zionist action-hairdressing sex comedy I have ever seen.”
On the other hand, Brian Lowry from Variety.com said that “Zohan is too silly to justify genuine anger. The more pressing thought as the movie drags on, rather, is an amended version of (Michael) Buffer’s signature boxing bellow, as in, “Let’s get ready to exit!”
On its first opening week, the movie already earned $38.5 million and landed the second spot in the box office charts, next to the animated movie “Kung Fu Panda”.
I guess loyal Adam Sandler fans like me did manage to find something good to watch about the movie – despite the mixed reviews. Check out the movie for yourself and see if you will find excellent – or crude humor – in Adam’s take on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
“You Don’t Mess with the Zohan” also stars John Turturo, Rob Schnieder, Emmanuelle Chiriqui, Nick Swardson and Lainie Kazan.
