I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
... View MoreI cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
... View Morewhat a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
... View MoreIt is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
... View MoreYou Don't Mess With The ZohanIt seems pointless similar to Adam Sandler's installments but this one is barely funny let along containing a script.
... View MoreAdam Sandler is golden when it comes to playing the part as the comical, funny dork that he is. You Don't Mess With The Zohan is NOT comical, and not funny at all. He may be good in some comedies, but he cannot act to save his soul. In this atrocious feast, he tries to play as an Isreal. It doesn't work. He becomes a hair stylist who bangs old chicks. Sound great? I haven't seen all of Sandlers flicks, but this was by a land slide his worst film I have ever seen him in. One scene shows him shooting a fish out his ass. How intelligent. I don't think I laughed once. Any one who watches this should be embarrassed. Case closed.
... View Morethis film may be entertaining, but I don't think the 'cat scenes' are necessary at all. This ruins the comedy of the film by demonstrating that it's OK to be cruel to animals. The plot is interesting enough; the scenes with animals just aren't needed. I don't even understand why that would be funny. They are also recurring in the film - If you are a cat lover, like myself, please be warned about the 'hacky sack' scenes which although are mild, can also be quite upsetting. disappointed in this film as those parts ruined it for me. It seemed as though the directors ran out of ideas for gags and turned to animals instead... All this film needed to do was focus on Zohan's dream and his rivalry with Fantom and then it would be perfect.
... View MoreIt shouldn't be a shock to the system that Adam Sandler can still churn out rubbish films. You Don't Mess with the Zohan is at the bottom of those rubbish films. His sporadic Israelian-special-agent-turned-hair-stylist is irritating. His accent is poor, and his mannerisms consist of shaking his crutch, pleasuring elderly ladies and saying 'no' repeatedly. None of these overused jokes are funny, and the same goes for everything else in between. A political stance on the ever present Palestinian - Israeli conflict is the strongest aspect of this comedy. It sits in the background, overshadowed by the silly puns. When Zohan's nemesis Phantom (Turturro) comes to New York, the humour picks up: the Israelis and Palestinians in New York squabble over western matters instead of important ones. A neat move that comes too late, as it's be a waste of 113 minutes of your life to stick around to the end.
