It ain't worth it. If you were planning on going to the theatre to see Adam Sandler's newest comedy, skip it... and the DVD release. Save your money for other things, ...like funny comedies. Adam, you disappoint me.
At the conclusion of the movie...well, no back up...throughout the movie, my husband basically said, "I told you so!" and he was right. This movie was one junior high sex allusion after another. There wasn't enough real humor to even categorize this as a comedy let alone string one flat scene to another. It was like watching bad, foreign porn. The unimaginative kind...and I don't even have a basis of comparison. This was in unbelievably poor taste.
What did I expect? I know. I know. It's Adam Sandler. Billy Madison. Happy Gilmore. The Wedding Singer. 50 First Dates. Click. And now this trash.
I am loathe to admit, my Christian morals were prepared to be compromised to a certain degree (this is a Happy Gilmore production), but the silly sex jokes would not stop coming. I kept waiting for something funny to happen, but it never did.
This flick is about an Israelli counter-terrorist who smuggles himself to America in an animal container on a plane, so that he can leave his former life of violence behind to cut and style hair, making it "silky smooth."
Stuck in the era of big, feathered hair and disco, Sandler's character, Zohan, sleeps with anything female that isn't nailed down, and has sex with his customers after he styles their hair which keeps them coming back for more and the shop owner he's working for, in business.
There are numerous cameos by multiple celebrities, but even their appearances can't make up for how low this movie sank me into the pit of disappointment and despair. It was enough to embarass me into spending half the time plugging my ears and shading my eyes. I kept looking at Jeff and apologizing. It's sad to see what depths of depravity Sandler has sunk to, to try and get laughs. He seemed to go from great music and funny spoofs, to poor taste with over-sexed doofs.
His other movies, like The Wedding Singer, and 50 First Dates had that kind of something that makes you want to smile and cry at the same time. Tonight I simply wanted to wash my mouth, ears and eyes out with soap, all at once and then do it again, just to be sure I rid myself of all the smut.
I can count on my fingers, more times that I saw naked butts than I can reasons to watch this movie. I'll say it again, save your movie money for somthing funny, cause this movie isn't. Two thumbs DOWN.

Come on now, everyone knows all good porn is made in America!
ReplyDeleteI knew as soon as I saw the trailer NOT to go watch this. You just confirmed all my suspicions.
