Nell Minow Movie Mom Rated: B- Apr 21, 2012 Full Review Ben Kenigsberg Time Out Rated: 3/5 Nov 17, 2011 Full Review St. Louis Post-Dispatch Rated: C- Oct 18, 2008 Full Review Eddie Harrison The List ...attempts to ring humour from topical subjects like home-made bomb-making sit uneasily with Sandler’s obvious ambitions to political gravitas, with the gags drying up in favour of an climactic mix of sentiment and action... Rated: 2/5 Feb 20, 2024 Full Review Danielle Solzman Solzy at the Movies You Don't Mess With the Zohan is hysterical and gives Adam Sandler one of his finest comedic roles in a comedy that puts its own spin on the conflict and need for peace. Rated: 4/5 Jun 6, 2023 Full Review James Croot Stuff.co.nz America's favourite man-child returned to his routinely mediocre and mildly misogynist formula with this 2008 "comedy".
