Spring Break
'Zohan' a cinematic disaster
By: Stephanie Rancier
Issue date: 6/12/08 Section: News
There is no acting in this movie. There is, however, a group of former SNL comics acting like a bunch of jackasses with several embarrassing cameos including John McEnroe and Mariah Carey. One would've thought Carey would have learned a lesson after "Glitter" and stayed far away from the silver screen, but her ignorance prevailed. Though she may have only appeared for a few minutes, Carey's astonishing lack of comedic acting talent or natural charm is enough to haunt your dreams.
Along with the annoyance of the high note-hitting diva, viewers will be permanently scarred by disturbing visuals of Sandler engaging in numerous sexual escapades with women in their fifties, sixties and seventies.
After watching "Zohan," viewers will never be able to eat hummus, or watch reruns of "The Facts of Life" without being reminded of this cinematic horror. Not only was the content of this "comedy" not at all funny, it was mind numbingly repetitive.
As someone who has been called a hippie more than a few times, I can't find anything good about a movie that tries to promote world peace. Anyone with a shred of common sense will refrain from the latest Happy-Madison production. For the rest of you, I'd advise you not to admit that you wasted two hours of your lives on this colossal mess of a movie, especially if you liked it.
Hissss!!!
