OK, so I went to see "You don't Mess With the Zohan" yesterday and all I can say is that I'm disappointed in Adam Sandler. This movie has got to be one of the worst movies I've ever seen. Or maybe that's a little extreme but it was a lot worse than i thought it would be and in many ways I found it offensive. 'Cause even though the movie in it's own way tries to preach tolerance, it over-simplifies very complex issues and even though it tries to show that people from Palistine can be good normal people too it still comes off as having the opinion that Palistinians are the ones in the wrong in the whole conflict.
When all is said and done the movie even tries to tell me and the rest of the people in the theatre that in America they (the israelis and palistinians) can all get along! Because America is such a great country that discrimination doesn't even exist! *Note sarcasm*
Now you might think that my beef with the movie is based solely on the movies political views but if anything that's the least problematic issue because "Zohans" biggest problem is it's lack of humor. Crotch-jokes haven't been funny in a very long time, except when Judd's gang do it (but Apatow actually helped WRITE this crap, so I guess the jokes on me!). Interrupting the story's fluidity simply to direct te attention at Zohan's overly sized crotch is not funny just insutlingly simple and pathetic attempts at humor!
Basically, read the history books if you want to know about the Israel-conflict and if you want to see a great romatic comedy (with tasteful crotch-humor) go see "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" instead!
