At some point, people must learn to just sit back and enjoy a film
I’ve been a fan of Adam Sandler for much of my life. . . all the way back to his SNL and ‘Airheads’ days. I’ve seen him go through many phases, from some great films like ‘Punch-Drunk Love,’ ‘Reign Over Me,’ and ‘Big Daddy’ to some of his lower-end films like ‘Eight Crazy Nights’ and ‘Little Nicky.’‘You Don’t Mess With the Zohan’ is not one of his best films, but it’s still enjoyable. Personally, I’d place it along the comedic quality of ‘Billy Madison’. . . contains mostly sight gags and juvenile humour. But, c’mon. . . sometimes that’s what we need. Our world is going to Hell, so shouldn’t we have some relief from the pain and torment we must witness on a daily basis? No. It’s not a great film. But it’s funny and stupid and entertaining. And that’s the reason to see it. . . don’t expect a comedic masterpiece like ‘His Girl Friday’ or ‘Forrest Gump.’ Expect what the film actually as and accept it as such. . . if it’s not for you, then it wasn’t MEANT for you.
Final verdict: 6.5/10.
Uneven, but funny
Look folks, this is ADAM SANDLER we’re talking about here. Yes, this is the same stuff that he was doing ten years ago with “The Waterboy.” Yes, this is the same company that brought us “Happy Gilmore” and “Click.” And yes, while I have aged a bit since I could appreciate the his silliness, there is still a part of me that enjoys the goofy fun that Adam Sandler likes to put on screen. I knew very well coming in to the 7:45 showing of “You Don’t Mess with the Zohan” that this was going to be crazy. And sure enough, it was. But you know what, I liked it, my friend liked it, quite a few people in the audience liked it, it was a good time had.Adam Sandler loves to put himself in ridiculous situations. In “Gilmore,” he was a hockey nut with a hidden talent for golf. In “Mr. Deeds,” he became a billionaire overnight. This guy has played football (twice), gone on fifty first dates, paused and sped up his life, and married Kevin James. Now, he’s an Isreali counter-terrorist with a fetish for cutting hair. Oh, and he loves making sexual remarks as much as Borat does. Sound familiar? Thought it did.
So how does the humor compare to previous Sandler features? Well, it’s unfocused. Part of the problem is that three writers with different mentalities are writing the script. The silliness comes from Sandler, the raunchy stuff comes from Apatow, and everything else comes from Smigel. Although I found myself laughing at quite a few parts (particularly when the Zohan was on the job as a soldier), there were also a lot of parts where I was thinking to myself “Come on. Another shot of the crotch?” (Or butt, or some other sexual reference) All of these various ingredients have been thrown in together, and the end result is, let’s face it, uneven.
But though the movie may have lacked focus, I couldn’t help but have fun with it. You see, unlike “Mr. Deeds” (which I found boring and lame), this film goes whole hog. Sandler and the cast surrounding him do almost everything in their power to make a joke out of something. These guys aren’t sleepwalking through their roles, to the contrary, they’re having a great time putting on a show. It’s contagious. About halfway through the movie, I began to realize the reason I was having fun with the “Zohan” was because this movie essentially gives out an open invitation to enjoy the silliness that was being presented. By the end of the movie, Sandler had done the most outrageous acts I had seen him do since “Happy Gilmore.” And frankly, I think I prefer Sandler when he just tries everything.
Fans of Sandler will most likely enjoy this one, non-fans should pass. For what it’s worth, “You Don’t Mess with the Zohan” is a good continuation of the act Sandler has put on for us for over a decade now. Worth a Saturday matinée.
