Sandler Overcomes His Comedic Slump
Final Thoughts: Adam Sandler, I used to love you. But, after a string of terrible films – I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry, Click and The Longest Yard – I lost hope in you and your “comedic” work. Therefore, it’s no surprise that when I received an invitation to the premiere for your new film, You Don’t Mess With The Zohan, I hesitated accepting it.
Could my heart handle another Sandler bomb? No, it couldn’t, but I was still willing to give it a chance.
Thank God I did too, because YDMWTZ (got tired of typing it all out) was actually pretty darn funny. Sure – there are some definite moments of over-the-top cheesiness, including several scenes where Zohan engages in foreplay with elderly women, but overall the film works if you view it as Sandler’s version of Will Ferrell’s Anchorman.
Like Ron Burgundy, Zohan is a legend capable of larger-than-life feats. He can leap from rooftops, take down an entire terrorist camp single-handedly, deflect bullets with his face, swim faster than a jet ski and fold people into human pretzels in the blink of an eye. And, he does all that within the first 10 minutes of the film.
Wow.
Overall, I left the theater quite pleased, and if you like Anchorman, I'm sure you will too.
Rating: 8 out of 10.

Anchorman happens to be one of my favorites, so maybe I'll give Zohan a shot. Posted 06/05/2008 11:56 AMReply
Im still not watching Zohan. Sandler's the most overrated movie star in the last 20 years. Posted 06/09/2008 10:32 AMReply
