Author Topic: You don't mess with the Zohan Michael Dolan Film Handler Posts: 77 From: Deerfield Beach, fl. Registered: May 2008 posted 06-08-2008 08:14 PM                        We screened this movie on Thursday night and I'm not sure if it was because I was just very tired from working or the fact that one of my managers thought it would be cool to bring his dog to the screening but either way I did not think it was as good as the trailers led it to be. It was funny in alot of parts but then again there were alot of parts that were just plain dumb. Alot of very nice girls but then again a couple of shots of the sand mans butt that I did not care much for. I give it overall a 2.5 out of 5 It was very funny but in the same return very stupid to so I'll meet it halfway.  |  IP: Logged Mike Schindler Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1039 From: Oak Park, IL, USA Registered: Jun 2002 posted 06-08-2008 10:42 PM                     I was wide awake and no dogs were present at my screening, but I still thought the movie sucked. Maybe it was just bad.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 06-08-2008 10:46 PM                        Unlikely, as this is an Adam Sandler movie. Perhaps you were under hypnosis or something similar.  |  IP: Logged Louis Belloisy Expert Film Handler Posts: 120 From: morris, ct usa Registered: Jun 2006 posted 06-09-2008 04:41 PM                        I thought it sucked, and I dont think Sandler is a bit funny, never did like him. I have to screen new films and I have to sit through like this Louis  |  IP: Logged Bruce McGee Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1776 From: Asheville, NC USA... Nowhere in Particular.

Sucks.  |  IP: Logged Kurt Zupin Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 989 From: Maricopa, Arizona Registered: Oct 2004 posted 06-10-2008 07:17 AM                     What is wrong with Adam Sandler...he just keeps making one piece of shit after another. This movie had a few moments where I laughed but over all I wanted to shoot myself in the head when it was over. .5/5  |  IP: Logged Frank Angel Film God Posts: 5305 From: Brooklyn NY USA Registered: Dec 1999 posted 06-10-2008 07:52 AM                        If the guards forced the prisoners at Abugrad to watch this abortion, they would be brought up on charges of toture; clearly it would violate every rule of the Geneva Convention on inhuman cruelty. No doubt about it....it's THE top contender for the 10 worst movies of 2008; even with half the year still to go, I will bet NOTHING will come even close to supassing it for suckyness. Rated GS -- Sucks for All Audiences. Did you know that after a film's run, they are recycling the release print material into construction plastics like insulation and the panels for toilet stalls? How appropriate to think this film will actually wind up in the CRAPPER.  |  IP: Logged Damien Taylor Master Film Handler Posts: 493 From: Perth, Western Australia Registered: Apr 2007 posted 06-10-2008 10:58 AM                     For an Adam Sandler movie, it really seems like it just came out of nowhere, no buzz, no hype. Its usually a bad sign.  |  IP: Logged Evans A Criswell Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1579 From: Huntsville, AL, USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 06-13-2008 01:30 PM                        Yeah, I thought "Waterboy" was a great Adam Sandler movie, and I've been disappointed with just about every one of his movies since then.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 06-13-2008 06:59 PM                        I've only really enjoyed one Adam Sandler movie - The Wedding Singer - and that was probably because Drew Barrymore was in it. Does he talk like a normal person in this one or does he use that screwy baby-talk thing he does? Sandler holds the record at my theatre for having the lowest-grossing movie we opened on the break (Mr. Deeds).  |  IP: Logged Chris Slycord Film God Posts: 2986 From: 퍼항시, 경상푹도, South Korea Registered: Mar 2007 posted 06-13-2008 09:13 PM                     No there's none of the "baby talk" bit but you can't really say he speaks normal either... he's trying to be someone from Israel. And I'd say from seeing most of the movie that it's ridiculous but still funny. But I also have an odd sense of humor. Like the OP, 2.5 out of 5.  |  IP: Logged Tim Reed Better Projection Pays Posts: 5246 From: Northampton, PA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 06-19-2008 10:27 PM                       I've never been able to understand how Adam Sandler could get the time of day, much less land a spot on SNL (apparently, considerably less difficult than it used to be) and star in movies! What an un-talented conundrum. And, OMG, I CAN'T STAND that insipid baby talk thing he does! I could wring his neck.  |  IP: Logged Kurt Zupin Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 989 From: Maricopa, Arizona Registered: Oct 2004 posted 06-20-2008 08:42 AM                     You do realize he was on SNL in the early 90's with arguably one of the greatest casts, (not saying the 70's and 80's casts wern't great) and had some of the most recognized characters ever right? Now I don't really care for his movies but he is great with stand up and characters.  |  IP: Logged Greg Haas Film Handler Posts: 18 From: Buffalo, WY, USA Registered: Aug 2003 posted 06-20-2008 11:11 PM                        quote: I've never been able to understand how Adam Sandler could get the time of day, much less land a spot on SNL (apparently, considerably less difficult than it used to be) and star in movies! Sandler produces a lot of his movies. If that means anything.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 06-20-2008 11:50 PM                        I thought "The Wedding Singer" was pretty good. But it had Drew Barrymore in it, and she was awful cute, so that might have saved it. This thing here just looks too stupid for words. The poster is eye-catching, I'll give it that.  |  IP: Logged
