Undescribable Perfection
Absolutely Fantastic
Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.
It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.
If you like silly comedy then you will like this! People might not like this if they dislike ridiculous comedy. If you are one of those people then I feel bad for you, son (daughter).
this 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.
Let's be frank here, Adam Sandler was a big name back in the day, but now what he is putting out there is very, very generic and seems to follow the exact same 'how-to-make-a-comedy' recipe every single time. If you have watched one Adam Sandler movie ten you have essentially seen them all. And yes, while he does what he is good at, it has been worn thin already and not all that thrilling to watch his movies anymore.There were some hilarious scenes throughout this movie because of the absurdity of the scenes and how over-the-top it all was. But if you enjoy a good laugh then there are far better movies available. Most of the comedy found in "You Don't Mess With the Zohan" is what I would refer to as semi-cheap comedy.The cast ensemble was good for a comedy of this type, that is at least a plus. John Turturro and Rob Schneider were actually quite good in this movie."You Don't Mess With the Zohan" is a movie for the fans of Adam Sandler, no doubt about it. For the rest of us it is a movie that you watch once and most likely never again.
This movie makes me laugh every single time I watch it. I am very much into the "Slapstick" type of comedy and this movie fits it like a glove. I Have always loved Adam Sandler movies because you always know you will be entertained. I can honestly say that there wasn't a point where I was watching this movie when I didn't laugh. If you love comedy WATCH THIS MOVIE you will not be disappointed. I really don't get why this movie has such a low rating. if you are looking for movies with deeper meanings and mind-blowing plots then by all means find a different movie.BUT....If you want to sit back, relax and laugh until you physically cant anymore then you've found your movie. Enjoy ;)
