Don't Go to the Zohan | 1:53 a.m. June 13, 2008
This Movie was one of the worst I have ever seen.
It gave duece bigelow (european Gigalo) a run for its money. It was a good thing I brought in some homework, so I didn't completley lose two hours of my life, to that awful movie. I am a big Sandler Fan, but I could barley stomach this one. Wait for the video and then even a buck at redbox might be too much.
Loved it! | 8:17 a.m. June 13, 2008
I'll admit, I'm one of those Adam Sandler fans that will never grow up too much to enjoy a good comedy. I don't really find older comedies funny, like Something's Gotta Give (where Jack Nicholson dates/sleeps with mother and daughter? Yuck!). It's great to see someone younger doing great things, accomplishing his dreams, and picking up other aspiring comedians along the way and giving them a helping hand (like Nick Swardson). Adam Sandler gives people like me a crude, hilarious, interesting and shocking break from reality with his great acting, charm and wit.

This movie was awful. It's a good thing my date paid for me, because I couldn't imagine anyone paying to actually watch this crap.

Plus, I am no moral authority, but this movie should have been rated-R. So much sexual innuendo! Too much of the same gag repeated over and over, it got tiresome after the 50th time you'd see them. Let it go, Adam. Make room for some fresher talent with better ideas than this "lovable loser" you've been milking since you got into the business.

haven't seen it | 2:39 p.m. June 13, 2008
I haven't seen it, but it sounds funny just by judging the "Don't go to the Zohan" comment and the article. Sandler is hilarious in all of his movies and will always do well with the fun crowd and poorly with the critics and self righteous fools. I will probably buy a few extra tickets and just hand them out so that the movie can make more money.

Don't go to Zohan unless you like a lot of sexual references and some overt nasty sexuality. Your Bishop would probably tell you not to go. I was surprise and disappointed at the degree of raunchiness. There were very funny parts, but the other stuff rendered it not worth seeing.

Sandler's best is Anger Management with Nicholson.
Innuendo? | 3:30 p.m. June 13, 2008
There was no innuendo about it, this movie was blatent and crude and I had to double check my ticket to make sure I wasn't in an R rated movie. I still should have gotten up and left after the first 3 minutes, (due to his nude BBQ grilling scene), but am so used to not going to movies I would have to walk out of, I didn't, and deeply regret that decision. To sum up the movie for those of you wondering if you should go, Sandler plays a hairdresser who does every lonely old lady in New York's hair "with benefits in the adjoining room" over and over and over with the little ladies lining up down the street to get in, canes and all. He also sports a grossly protruding private area throughout the whole movie which was way past disgusting, and not included in the advertisments, which made the movie look like it might be entertaining. IT WAS NOT. Waste of time, waste of money, waste of film.

I hope there are enough junior high athletes to support this movie. The locker room was the last time I'd heard that type of humor.

Someone took a date to a Sandler movie? WOW! Talk about secure in a relationship! That is true courage.
