Don't Mess with the Zohan

My wife and I saw "Don't Mess with the Zohan" over the weekend. Like most Adam Sandler movies, it received some bad reviews (although some of the film critics seem to coming around).

Let me say right off the bat that the best Sandler movie in my book is "The Waterboy". After that I'm torn between "Happy Gilmore" and "Mr. Deeds". With that said, this movie didn't knock Waterboy off the top of the list.

It was pretty good with lots of laughs. Plenty of crude jokes, and I wondered how the movie got away with some of the jokes and references. Pretty much what you'd expect from an Adam Sandler flick.

What didn't I like? They made Zohan out to be just too powerful. He breezed through all of the encounters, which I guess was supposed to be a part of the joke. It wouldn't have been too bad if someone had been close to being his equal, but I never had the feeling that anyone could stop him in a confrontation.

Our movie theater had notice up stating something like "even though this movie is rated PG-13, in our opinion it should be rated R". As an adult, I don't really agree with that, but as a parent I do.
