I know it's a cliche, but I seriously think I just threw up a little in my mouth. What do you get when Hollywood decides they want to make another Borat film? Yup, you get You Don't Mess with the Zohan. Oh trust me Mr. Zohan, I won't mess with you -- I won't even go near you. Yahoo has the first trailer for this Adam Sandler comedy, and it might just be me, but I actually think his films are getting dumber. I know, they've always been pretty dumb -- but this one ... I don't even know what to say, honestly. Go watch it yourself. Maybe you dig this type of thing, and more power to you if you do -- but it's just not my cup of manishevitz. It's like Borat mixed with typical idiotic Adam Sandler comedy, and it just looks so wrong on so many different levels. The scariest part of the whole thing is that Judd Apatow actually co-wrote this script? Judd? Seriously? Dude!
Unlike Borat, though, Sandler plays an Israeli Mossad agent who decides to leave his home country, cut his hair and travel to the United States in an attempt to cut other people's hair. Based on the trailer, it appears his sexy middle-eastern strip-tease/hairdresser moves have women lined up around the block for a cut ... but it isn't long until Rob Schneider shows up as a taxi driver and a bunch of "funny" terrorists want to mess with the Zohan. Ah, but you see -- you don't want to mess with the Zohan. Because when you mess with the Zohan ... I don't know; I give up. Feel free to let us know what you think of the trailer in the comments section below. Maybe I'm just having a bad day. You Don't Mess with the Zohan hits theaters on June 6.

It didn't look that bad...at least in a "The Naked Gun was an entertaining movie" sort of way.
Adam Sandler has definitely already made much worse...

Wow. That trailer is really pretty awful. The fact that Dennis Dugan is directing doesn't help. But, pending WGA involvement, the thing was written by Judd Apatow AND Robert Smigel? If they actually wrote the thing (and it wasn't a situation in which Happy Madison bought the concept and then totally re-wrote it), then one crappy trailer (even one that includes Schneider AND Nick Swardson) isn't going to dissuade me from seeing it.
But man. What a trailer.

Something is seriously wrong with our society when absolute crap like this gets big-time exposure in theaters, and some of this year's best work is practically shunned by the mainstream.

I think the idea of it sounds terrible, but the actual jokes in the trailer made me laugh. I always think that the execution of jokes in a comedy is MUCH more important than the concept or even the story sometimes.
