English I laughed maybe three times, and for the rest of the film I felt sorry for the actors that work in stuff like this, and the people who like it. ()

English Lately I'm just starting to doubt that Adam Sandler, formerly my favorite actor, is normal. I found Zohan to be tasteless and sleazy. I don't mind when a movie revolves around sex, I can tolerate hearing "fuck, fuck, fuck" after every word, but this is completely against the grain. One star only for the beautiful and pleasant Emmanuelle Chriqui. And the way she looked at Zohan when he first walked into the hairdresser's, that’s how I looked at this whole movie. I was really waiting for Sandler to stick a knife in himself or start jerking off right in front of the camera just to make it interesting. And the only reason I didn't get up and leave was because of my friend sitting next to me who unfortunately liked the movie. This is where Dugan really, really missed the mark. ()

English The beginning is truly awesome and had me looking forward to the best crazy comedy since Hot Shots. But then something went wrong and the incredibly entertaining action was replaced by a whirlwind of tasteless sexual innuendos that I had a hard time finishing. Adam, Adam... this isn’t good! 50% ()

English This is one of my favorite Sandler movies. It's sometimes so crazy that it's not even nice, but I still enjoyed it. This guy has insane ideas and mainly friends who go along with him. Why not, if it works for them. Keep it up. Morality and an attempt to solve the world's problems are Sandler's trademark, but I guess I've come to terms with it. ()
