Movie: You Don't Mess with the Zohan
"He's silky, smooth and harder than trigonometry!"
In this comedy, Adam Sandler takes on the role of Zohan Dvir, the best anti-terrorist superhero in all of Israel. Despite having taken out almost all the terrorists in Israel, Zohan is not satisfied with his career in the army and wishes to pursue his greatest dream of all time - hairstyling. He finds himself working in a small saloon in America, where he embarks on his quest to make the world "Silky Smooth!"
No one would deny that this would definitely draw laughter from the audience, but I found some of the jokes to be a tad too sick. Politically incorrect jokes, and tonnes of sexual innuendos, this movie can probably draw laughter for the first few minutes, and leaving the audience cringing when the jokes are brought on to an even more sick level.
Kudos to Adam for his really good accent, and for his facial expressions that really does save the movie. Also to some of the other characters, who did a fairly good job in keeping the movie from sinking totally. For any Mariah Carey fans, you might pay the few bucks just to see her for that minute, but that to be is hardly a reason to spend your money on such a movie.
Not something I'd want to watch in a cinema, considering how boring and cheesy the drama bit can get. Then again, there are people who seem to really enjoy the movie.
