You Don’t Mess With The Zohan

Now, racial stereotyping and crude humor can be used to great comic effect in the proper hands.

The makers of Borat toed the line brilliantly, delivering great vulgar hilarity mixed with social commentary.

You Don’t Mess With The Zohan is not even in the same time zone, much less ballpark.

The film is amazingly hostile and mean-spirited, mocking its targets with unfiltered scorn for the majority of the running time, yet tacking on a “we’re all the same” message at the end.

It’s like the school-yard bully who beats the snot out of you all semester but wishes you a good summer at when vacation time rolls around.

Why did no one involved in this debacle pull Sandler aside and gently suggest that this material was unfilmable?

Also concerning is the amount of animal abuse presented for cheap laughs.

Not my sort of thing. ;) magic
