You Don't Mess With the Zohan

Tired of all the fighting in his country, legendary Israeli commando Zohan (Adam Sandler) fakes his own death and goes to New York, where he can fulfill his fondest dream: to become a hairstylist. Zohan's sexy way with a cut and curl makes him a hit with Manhattan's women, but when enemy Arabs spot him, Zohan has to call on his military skills if he is ever to wield scissors again

Other than Billy Madison, I don't find Adam Sandler's shtick funny or entertaining. Actually, whenever I tell a fellow movie fan how much I enjoyed Billy Madison I secretly do an inner body cringe. One can't blame someone for thinking it was a childish, sophomoric, dim-witted act in film-making. However, I like it to this day and find myself always sucked it to its silly humor whenever it airs on TBS or TNT.

You Don't Mess With the Zohan is one of many Sandler comedic vehicles that falls flat with me. The premise is dumb and uninteresting. What few laughs exist do not make up for poor acting by Sandler and over acting by his usual band of merry misfits such as Rob Schneider. Has Schneider ever been in a good film?

Over the past few years Adam Sandler has tried his skill in a few dramas. Although those films have not made lots of cash, his performances garnered some good reviews. His act is already old for me. If he wants to keep whatever good will exists between he and his fans, I think he should participate is a few more dramas while his career is still relevant to a select few.

My Top 5 Adam Sandler Films:
1. Spanglish
2. Billy Madison
3. The Wedding Singer
4. Punch Drunk Love
5. Reign Over Me
