Sorry, type. I meant to say This MOVIE was HILARIOUS! Definitely recommend.
On a side note, I really hate snobby movie critics who love what nobody wants to see and put down truly enjoyable movies.
It’s a MOVIE, not Picasso. Jerk.

This move was hilarious. Do I really need to say more?

While I agree that there’s not much in the way of “plot” with this movie, I think that’s entirely beside the point. The most interesting parts of life happen WITHOUT a script, WITHOUT some central theme to tie it all together. In this movie, the central theme—if there is one—is “what happens when you take childhood friends and put them together as grownups?”

That’s really the “plot” of this movie—a couple childhood friends that basically pick up where they left off twenty years before, not so much “revisiting” their childhood as they are “updating” it.

Personally, I loved it. Yeah, I had to get used to the different approach to storytelling, but it’s not too hard… so long as you’re not searching for the meaning of life in a comedy movie

never seen this movie. but what it sounds like is there needs to be a point to the general mass. some may like it others may not. only you can decide for yourself. i’ve loved horrible movies. i’ve hated great movies. (based on critics and general hear-say).

really horrible review, what do expect some kind of moral to the movie? a lesson that you can take from it and build your life on? you got what you seriously paid for a group of funny comedians making a funny movie and i wouldn’t ask for anything else,

why try to add drama to cast of comedians?

“Funny people” anyone they tried to put in some kind of drama to that movie and it was terrible, it’s a known fact Comedians can’t make a DRAMATIC movie so why ask for one…

granted there are a few who manage to pull it off but thats a very small list.

I don’t think anyone can replace Rob Schneider. Adam Sandler might as well stop making comedies if Schneider passes away.

I’m a Rob Schneider wanna-be. That is, when Jay starts making feature films, I’m hoping he’ll have a role for me in each of his films. Then critics can say I’m a talentless person who wouldn’t be in films if it weren’t for Jay. Ha ha.

Good call on Justin Long.
Rob Schneider could be replaced by anybody with a heartbeat and a voice box.

Ha ha, that’s an interesting thought! Adam Sandler would have been replaced by Justin Long, maybe?

Feel no pity for Rob Schneider. This is nothing more than his annual “Sandler’s doing a movie, so I get a decent paycheck” gig. Whatever that bastard has to do, whatever he has to suffer through to get said paycheck, whatever keeps him too busy to do Deuce Bigelow 3, still isn’t enough, but it’s a start. Looking at this cast, it’s clear to see that Kevin James has, what would be in an alternate timeline, the Chris Farley spot. If Farley would have survived and any of these other ex-SNLers would have kicked it, who would have replaced them in this mess? Discuss…

Reading this great review of yours Matt I came to the conclusion that ..Zohan was probably the greatest comedic Adam sandler moment ever. It combined the brilliance of fart jokes, poop jokes, boob jokes, naked man butt jokes, old woman kissing young men jokes, breast milk jokes, penis jokes.. PlUS he offered some solid racial stereotype jokes and few anti-Semitic ones..
I am really disappointed he left those out this time.
