Sandler has gone way, way, way downhill since the days of Wedding Singer. I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry remains the most irritating film I've seen this decade. I have no desire for a repeat in Zohan.

Too bad he can't duplicate something as good as the Phoebe Cates pool scene.

I love Adam Sandler. Sure most of his movies are terrible, unfunny dirty, but he's consistently been there for the past fifteen years. Every time I see him, I think of his old SNL skits and forgive his current sins.

I agree with the PDL fans. That was a great movie. Spanglish was good and I think he did a terrific job in Reign Over Me.

As for his comedies, I'm always game for Waterboy or Wedding Singer.

I haven't seen Reign Over Me, but I really like Don Cheadle. If I remember correctly, it received bad reviews. Do you think it was worth it?

Zohan looks terrible. As does the Guru movie with Mike Myers.

I'd wondered if the trailers had all the funny movie moments. Sounds like the freebie summarizes. Thanks for the warning.

You will laugh, every once in a while, then you would hate yourself for having thrown away your money.

I now resolve to miss all future Adam Sandler films, unless others whom I trust preview it. His agent is an idiot.

Definitely worth the three bucks and two hours. The reviews weren't great, but not horrible. I think some of the criticism has merit, but I still liked it. I should remind you that I am not the most discerning moviegoer.

My eighteen year old said it was over the top crude and that people were walking out. I think I'll save my money.

Reign Over Me is a really good film. Definitely worth it.

His best was Billy Madison. Spanglish was good because Paz Vega is hot and a google image search of her will make your day.
