Seriously. How could I not mess with the premise of this movie. Either my days as a vibrant youth laughing at the silly antics of Billy Madison (I'll tell you who, it was that damn Sasquatch) have long come to an end, or Adam Sandler has gotten severely lazy in his attempts at humor. Speaking of outgrowing days of youth, hasn't Sandler outgrown his? I honestly think he might even be reverting in his development as a comedian with this latest piece of a movie.
I'll admit, I haven't seen the movie so my issues with it could all be the cause of terrible marketing, but I utterly and miserably fail to see the humor in an Israeli commando turned hair dresser. He smacks some dude on the street with his feet--not funny. He gives some kid the sleeper--not funny. He swims like a dolphin--I can't even say for sure if that was meant to be funny...but it isn't. No doubt Rob Schneider will uncharacteristically play a foreign guy with a bad accent in a totally unprecedented and awe-inspiring move. Adam, please stop relying on infantile sight gags and over-the-top stereotypes to draw laughs. You've been around way to long to keep degrading yourself like this.
I can only hope that this movie tanks at the box office but judging from past performances of seemingly bad movies (insert any recent Will Ferrell title here), America should prove to arrive in hoards to Zohan and laugh heartily while shoveling boat loads of popcorn in its face.
