I rarely go to movies, (this was my 4th movie this year) in fact I didn’t even know such a movie existed until about two weeks ago- but hearing about it without knowing much else, I forked over my $10 for a couple of hours of being transformed into a zombie, a laugh my ass off zombie for that matter.
Who can resist an American made movie that makes fun of Israel, Israelis and Israels enemies? Not me and I was glad I went. This is not really a review, its more of a recomendation to go and see Don’t Mess with the Zohan right away- I laughed out load for the entire movie. The last time I did that it was for the movie Superbad.
So its raunchy, if you do not enjoy hearing Adam Sandler have sex with multiple women over the age of 65 this may not be for you, if you do not want to see loads of hot “supposedly Israeli/Palestinian women half naked- you may want to skip it. I think I also may have enjoyed it so much because I was the ONLY person in the entire theater laughing at anything. I saw it in Albany and most of the theater were high school and college age kids- the jokes take at least a basic knowledge of Israeli politics and even better if you have been to Israel- it could have been better for sure, but was worth every minute of it.

Someone really tapped into something good over here … so typical for Israelis to go traveling the world cutting hair.
Would like to see the movie, but everyone I know has already seen it and I’m not going alone.
Nemo you buy me a ticket and I’ll see it again with you
Yo, dedicated a post to you:

I haven’t seen it, either, Nemo. If you’re not married or regularly dating anyone, I’ll go. (I’ll buy my own ticket; Hesh can be your date.)
I thought is was stupid funny. I don’t know that I’d see it again, but it was entertaining. The best part was in the end when the bad ass and the Israeli find peace. If only it were THAT easy huh?
And if I may say, it’s a TOTAL guy movie.
Shabbat Shalom
i am planning to go see it – thanks for the recommendation. anyo0ne planning to see the love guru?
Wanted you to know that when you post on my blog, your name links you to your old site still.
Thought you’d want to know.
Yes I know- thats because I am logged into wordpress to write on my outdoors blog which is still on wordpress.
Thanks
I saw it when it first came out. A couple of people went with me. I enjoyed it, but at times, I was the only one laughing.
i heard from all my friends- guys and girls that it was hysterical. i have a bootleg copy that i started watching- got thru the first 1/2 hr and wasnt so interested (and i like this kinda raunchy humor) but maybe thats cuz i was like preoccupied wen i tried watching it…so maybe ill try again…one thing i cant stand is his accent its like really bad french accent
I also dont go to movies very often, but I love Adam Sandler. Admittedly, I was a bit leery of this one (perhaps I am becoming prudish in my old age), but after reading your review, Im going!
s(b.)- I didn’t see anything about being poor on your Craigslist ad, so hey ….
Hesh- I’ll be lucky to afford coffee at the stand up show (which I really hope to make it to)!
what’s really funny is recognizing leftover bs from my old relationship in it (since it’s old like that). I should probably write something fresher. Do you ever leave the ‘hood? I’ve got a skirt long enough for it, but I think we’d have to get married, if we were seen in public. lol (I didn’t say anything poor ’cause I define rich like pirkei avos does. That said, I’ve been rockin’ leaner times lately ’cause I went to see Stevie Wonder. Totally worth it.)
And get a job, hippie! (I’m kidding.)
I try to get out and about when I can. But getting out of Brooklyn with require subway fare
I also define rich like Perkei Avos does … but I have no “lot” to be happy with.
Oh, enough laughing at my own expense (no pun intended), I’m just interning now, so money is tight.
Anyway, just for the record, I’m like ten years younger than you, so I don’t think it’ll work out. Though the movie offer is still tempting!
It was a movie, not a date. Not in budget means not in budget. C’est la vie. If I wind up at that thing next week,say hi, if you see me. I’ll keep my eye out for a Vulcan with payes.
Hey I’ll go see it again I been saving money for some random events. any takers, maybe after the open mic
Will this movie make them hate us?
This movie is a pisser. YOu can see it for free in you type into a Goodgle toodbar “MOVIE FORUMS”
You weren’t aware? From December last: http://myrightword.blogspot.com/2007/12/watch-out-jewesses-and-enemy-terrorists.html What’s the Jewish blogosphere for if not to keep people in touch? (united is too harsh a word)
it was a really stupid dragged out movie with a couple of funny lines (none involving adam sandlers character)
whens the yeshivish version cumming out? -:)
i love the name exwife of BT.
made me laugh out loud at my office.
hahaha
I feel like the men will like this movie more then the women- its just the way raunchy movies go.
I really want to see it,Adam Sandler’s always good.And he’s a real “out” Jew who makes it seem cool to be Jewish,to a lot of kids who might not be getting the message where they normally hang out.Two other movies I want to see are “Wanted”(wouldn’t you want to see Angelina-even reading the phone book? ‘Nuff said!) and “WallE”.But that’s ’cause I’m an immature geek.
