Default Zohan

Adam Sandler, I should have known better. A fair warning to all, this is not an appropriate family film. Next time I'll see Adam and skip it.

Sexuality in the locker room fashion to the max. Over the top racist remarks, one after another.

You watch movies that seem way out of your board persona. You went to see Speed Racer, as well. I would have assumed you wouldnt go within a mile of either.

This movie looked terrible in the previews.

As requested, I won't mess with the Zohan.

a board persona is just that.

In reality, the spectrum of film I'm willing to subject myself to, is limited only by my companionship.

There was a time when I was fixated upon Alfred Hitchcock films, and films noir.

Hitchcock is great. This is a cool Hitchcock site that talks a lot about his style. I am sure the web is flooded with similar sites.

My film spectrum is more narrow than yours. I just don't see that many movies anymore because most of them look terrible.

He tried too hard to be funny, slamming the same joke, over and over again.

You think his best movie was WEDDING SINGER?!?

Clearly his best guy movie was Happy Gilmore, and 50 First Dates is actually a pretty good humorous chick flick.

I thought he did the best job in Punch-Drunk Love. it is about the only time he has done something out of his standard routine schtick....and he did a surprisingly good job. He also did Spanglish, but I thought he was better in PDL.

I agree his best movie is Punch Drunk Love and this isn't even a debate. I remember being in a Blockbuster once (you know those relics of the pre-Netflix and Redbox past) and hearing a couple dudes warn someone not to get PDL because it wasn't like his other movies.
