As the two people on planet earth who read this blog know, I did a “Movie Quickie” review last week of Adam Sandler’s latest movie, “Don’t mess with the Zohan”… In said review, I did admit that it had me laughing through most of the scenes.

That being said, as with most movie Quickies, now that I’ve had a chance to think about it for a week, let it sink in, and even catch a few minutes of it again, I have to wonder, what kind of crack was I smoking?

After seven days or so, I’m sitting here trying to recall the scenes that had me chuckling throughout, and I really, really can’t. As with lots of these “number 1 movie in America” (of the week) movies come and go with the best parts having been shown in the previews. I try specifically to avoid previews whenever possible, but you know how it is. This movie is proof positive that a first impression isn’t everything

A good movie introduces something into the social consciousness. Something that can be remembered, whether it’s Meg Ryan’s infamous diner scene in “When Harry Met Sally“, or something spoken which invades our public lexicon like Dr. Evil’s “One Biiiilllion dollars“… Zohan a week later, proves to have none of that. Instead, despite my initial guffaws, there is very little redeeming value to the entire movie.

Maybe it was the accents, maybe it was the over-the-top nature of it all, but in quick, rambling summation, this one is coming off of my “to buy” list, until it hits the $2.99 shelf.
