Adam Sandler: 5 Awesome Performances and 5 That Sucked

€ and 5 That Sucked.

5. You Don€™t Mess With The Zohan (2008)

I€™m not even certain how this film managed to get green-lit, if I€™m perfectly honest. Oh wait, Adam Sandler can do whatever the f**k he wants, including s**t in a 35mm film canister and call it a movie, that€™s how. Which is what he€™s done with You Don€™t Mess With The Zohan. Sporting a thick fake Israeli drawl, Sandler gyrates his way through the films seemingly never-ending 113 minute run time, apparently under the belief that acting like a complete tool is in and of itself funny. Sandler has it in him €“ both comedic and dramatic ability €“ but in You Don€™t Mess With The Zohan he chooses to bring neither to the table. Instead, we get funny (not really) broken English and €œDisco, disco, disco!€ It€™s old schtick from Sandler, admittedly dressed up with a dodgy haircut and an even dodgier accent, but the staleness of the act oozes through like so much old Hummus nonetheless.
