Adam Sandler Demonstrates How Far He's Fallen Since 'Happy Gilmore'new
Beginning encouragingly with a bit of charming stupid-funny, You Don't Mess with the Zohan rapidly disintegrates into blank-staring, brain-cell-destroying inanity, alighting, occasionally, on the rarest flowers of slap-yourself-on-the-forehead-because-it's-so-stupid funny and then, about 12 minutes into the two-hour-long slog, it settles into illimitably stupefying, comatose-inducing and transcendentally dimwitted, anti-funny.

Adam Sandler is No Jewish Superheronew
Nothing sticks beyond the notion of Adam Sandler as Zohan, a super-efficient commando in Israel's Mossad. Not even Zohan's pacifism makes much impression; it's a momentary shtick that sets up gags rather than character motivation.

A Defense of Adam Sandlernew
I will argue that, beneath their frat-house veneer, Sandler's movies are as clever and heartfelt as Judd Apatow's -- and that he is the bigger influence on today's Hollywood comedies, including those made by his old roomie.
