I saw You Don’t Mess With The Zohan on the weekend, and really enjoyed it. Classic Sandler…rude, funny but with a real human touch. OK, it won’t solve the Middle East crisis, but it has a bloody strong point. What is the fighting for? Hate for hate’s sake? Anyway, if you don’t like Adam Sandler then this won’t convert you, but anyone after a comedy which is not overtly dumb like Get Smart should go see it. And yes, I am serious…I meant to say overtly dumb. Ignore the daft premise, just watch it and enjoy Sandler at his best.

There’s a great article in the Guardian about Adam Sandler. In the main I agree with it…although the vulgar side of his humour doesn’t bother me, but it makes a good point in that too many people take his films at face value without actually looking a little deeper. I am not saying they are works or art, but the majority of Sandler films have a genuine human quality which generally makes you feel good about the subject matter.
