I do understand the concept of a "dumb comedy" but this was just way over the top with no substance and a plot that seems like it was strung together at the last minute. this movie was by far the worst I’ve seen.

Yes I was stoned, but that's a necessity for a film like this. It was reminiscent of the kind of ultra-silly comedy in the old film, Hot Shots: Part Deux. If i wasn't high I doubt it would have been nearly as funny, but I always watch comedies when I'm stoned.... I thought this film was hilarious!….

Sure, it's a mess but I did laugh. And I loved John Turturro here. My main problem: his love interest was OBVIOUSLY Hispanic and not Middle Eastern. Not the absolute worst movie I’ve ever seen.

It is one of the most perverted movie I have watched. I used to like Adam Sandler but his movies has deteriorated in content and in humor. I could not even make myself go listen long enough to all his penis comments. Is that how middle easterns are like? It gives a bad impression... Given that it is a comedy, it still leaves a bad taste in the mouth. I watched this movie last night and I had to stop in the middle of the movie.

However I have my own thought on it. Why I didn't mention it was that I consider that movie, and stay with me here, nearly a drama. It was cute and fun in the beginning, but as it progressed I found myself getting stressed and depressed. I can't watch the second half without crying. Crying! Seriously! When his father visits him and he ignores him and then he dies...The part where he keeps rewinding to see him for the last time... Now I know all it was was a sort of revamped "It's a Wonderful Life" but Christopher Walken was the Angel of Death! I found myself getting sad every time he saw his wife after she left him... See look at the tear I have just gone on! Click- While being a decent and appealing movie which was a high earner was, to me, heart wrenching and gut knotting. Does that answer why I didn't use it as a comedic comparison? LOL, thanks for reading. Zach L AJ-

You may not have enjoyed the movie but other people may still want to see it - even after you warn them. Sometimes people think for themselves, and doing a spoiler for a new movie just to show how cool you are ("See how much I hated this bad movie? I'll save the world from it") is really not a nice thing to do. Sorry that this wasn't about the Zohan - which, sorry... I laughed at, while acknowleging every single thing that Zach says is wrong about it. Maybe I was just in an easy mood that night and was ready to be amused. Yes, it was dumb, but I knew that going in from the trailers. I wasn't expecting an Oscar nominee, just some easy laughs at some pretty low jokes, and that's exactly what I got. If you want a good movie, don't go. If you go, expect what you are getting, and you might get amused. But don't go and then be mad at the movie for being what it is. J Ma that was so uncalled for.

I know if my 13 year old sees such a movie that there will be cursing, some violence and some crude humor--so I get it. However, there is nothing that could have prepared me for Adam Sandler's ZOHAN. It was the most disguisting piece of garbage I have ever seen. Everything from the Doggie Style scene with the Mom to the WAY OVERDONE scenes in the hair salon with him grinding himself against old ladies' heads and shoulders caused me to leave 30 minutes into the movie. I'm a liberal democrat and I usually support the Motion Picture Association's policies, but I can't this time. This movie is over the edge bad that UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES should be seen by anyone ages 13-15. Adam Sandler is finished. His last films have stunk up the world and this one may be the end of his career. I’m usually very open to things that end up giving a movie a PG-13 rating.
