You Don't Mess With The Zohan
IF YOU hear anyone moaning and groaning this weekend, the chances are they'll have wasted 113 minutes of their lives on this film.
Chuck & Larry director Dennis Dugan again co-ordinates Adam Sandler in another pedestrian affair.
This time the unfathomably-popular comedy star plays an Israeli counter-terrorist agent who becomes a hairdresser in New York after faking his own death.
Despite help from Knocked Up's Judd Appatow in the script department, the script is as bald as a coot with the Israeli-Palestinian conflict offering no intelligible merit as a backdrop. Not when Zohan's parents tell him: 'You've caught so many terrorists, it's an art. You're like Rembrandt with a grenade'.
And: 'They've been fighting for 2,000 years. It can't be much longer'.
Throw in some homophobic leftovers from Chuck & Larry and you'll feel like faking the explanation of your own afternoon disappearance for a film taglined: 'Lather. Rinse. Save the world' and 'He'll blow you away'.
Chris Rock pops by as a taxi driver, with John McEnroe and Henry Winkler also appearing.
