You Don't Mess With The Zohan

Until this weekend, I hadn't seen an Adam Sandler movie since The Wedding Singer, but on Saturday I caught his latest flick, You Don't Mess with the Zohan. And if you can get past the sight of seeing his bare ass in the first few minutes, it's actually a pretty funny movie. The list of oddball cameos include Chris Rock, The Fonz, Mrs. Garrett from The Fact of Life, and even Mariah Carey (who plays herself). She sang the national anthem in the pivotal Hackey Sack tournament scene. Believe it or not, she was actually funny-- and unlike Glitter, it was intentional this time. The lead villians were played by Rob Schnieder, Michael Buffer (yes, Mr. Let's Get Ready To Rumble) and Dave Matthews of all people, who was pretty damn funny playing a racist redneck. So if you are looking for a fun, mindless comedy with a lot of laughs, you will probably enjoy this. Hollywood Nation gives this movie two snaps up.
