look and i be not one of those snobby cinema elitist who scoff and upturns their nose at every adam sandler film that come out . happy gilmore be one of my all time favourite guilty pleasure and he do a lot of entertain film that aren not by any mean think provoke or life alter but and for all practical purpose and be fun to watch . paul thomas anderson be quote a have say the only reason he cast sandler in punch drunk love be due to the fact that he be a huge fan of sandler comedy and which he enjoy view because they always put him in a good mood . i think this be about the best description of his work that you will find and and pinpoint my own feeling . but once in a while sandler will make a real turkey and and you don not mess with the zohan be one of the bad . rank alongside anger management and little nicky and zohan the character offer little to like or enjoy and and zohan the movie be even bad . sandler character in the waterboy be annoy but the film be still funny if youre in the right mood . zohan problem be that it have an unlikeable character put in very unfunny predicament and and relies on truly lame social or cultural joke . sometimes these type of stereotypical jab can be passable in the same way the crudeness of happy gilmore be somewhat endearing and but zohan offer them in such a direct and unpleasant manner that youre really just leave straining to try to laugh at most of this stuff . jewish people be hairy and talk funny . american do not know the difference between saudi arabia and iraq . people in the middle east dress like it still 1989. this be essentially the whole film joke and rehash over . and over . and over again . zohan be not a strong character for sandler . he gimmicky and just like little nicky and but rather than feel strongly one way or another about him i just felt indifferent . he not funny and which be a crucial hindrance to a film proclaim itself a a comedy . the movie be just very inept . i be surprise to find dennis dugan have direct it and because he usually one of sandler well collaborator while yet this film be totally amateurish and incomprehensible . there no real plot and and john turturro be thanklessly waste a a scenery chomp villain . emmanuelle chriqui be beautiful but ultimately she another in sandler long line of underwritten romantic interest . these character be more excusable in his good comedy like gilmore because we know the romance be unrealistic to begin with and be only there to fit a mold and but chriqui be so earnest in her performance and display so much promise that you be left want her to have a good script to work with . sandler should embrace the concept of strong romantic lead in his film and because i think it would vastly improve the storyline . since zohan be so lazy in it story and it romantic subplot be tack on and pointless and the other flaw of the film primarily the lack of funny material become far clear . speaking of weak material represent adam sandler and mike myers seem to have recently both arrive at the conclusion that penis and sex joke can sustain an entire comedy . they can not . the first time we see sandler naked and it a forced chuckle . when he have sex with a friend mother to thank her for dinner and hospitality and it a lame attempt at borat style cultural comedy . when zohan begin cut elderly woman hair in blatantly sexual manner and take them all into the back office of a hair salon one by one for a sex montage of sort and you just want to throw up a bit . i be shock that sandler actually think this material be funny . if he be go for gross out laughter and then he fail on all level . it not funny and it not gross and it just stupid and off put . this movie be ultimately just disappointing because of how dull it be and how hard it try or perhaps doesn not try in it effort to make teenager laugh . the only thing i ever really look for in a typical adam sandler comedy be a fair amount of silly throw away gag and raunchy or not . but zohan can not even deliver on this it only real purpose . hopefully sandler and myers will both grow out of this awkward sex joke only phase of their career . the underperforming box office result of both zohan and the love guru may help them realize this sooner rather than later .
