I never knew this movie existed so I looked it up and God damn. What the fuck were they even thinking? Looking at how Palestine is potrayed makes me sick. Fuck Adam Sandler and the people who greenlit such a movie.
You're absolutely right. What have I done! I've become what I hate.
Entirely true, Adam Sandler is the other 3rd of the internet.
Almost every Sandler movie is horrible, except for the couple of surprisingly good dramatic roles he did under competent directors. Yes, even your faves from the 90s. You were 8 when you watched them. They're garbage.
Oh yes, remember that study that found that conservatives shown an episode of The Colbert Report loved it and assumed that he was taking the piss out of liberals?
America, this was the beginning of the end of the beginning of your downfall. And I don't mean in a cosy, "Hitler shouting at his generals with hilariously bad but topical closed captions" sense.
Reign over me, goat sandler film next to pdl. I don't think Sandler is racist, he has some problematic views but he always seemed like a decent human being.
Also I know I'm a big dummy but I though zohan was being self deprecating and I think that's how a lot of other people saw it as well. But I also only watched it once.
Chuck and Larry isnt great, rob scheider is probably the best part of the movie.
The gay community has been shit on for 30 years see the aids epidemic.
I remember my kid self thinking it was in poor taste when it was current.
Now it's like yikes.
EDIT: woah I didn't remember it was 2008 movie!! That only makes it worse. In my mind it was pre-9/11. I sure as hell wasn't a kid anymore at that point.

It's a pastime among whites to find racism in everything.
It's funny (unlike the movie) how the movie is actually about acceptance of gay people but made every bad gay joke you could make except pedophilia
Some of it is because the main character being homophobic at the beginning some not so
In terms of how normalised homophobic jokes are in movies?
We are light years away from 08.
Still not 100% great, but we're getting there.
Yeah, kinda crazy how much comedy has changed in the past 10-15 years. Homophobic shit used to be everywhere in mainstream comedies.
It's crazy.
Growing up a confused bi teen in the early 2000's was quite a shitty experience.
He's genuinely good in drama movies, it's the only time he gives a fuck.
It's been a decade that's basically an eternity eternity and yeah they were
I know it's a anti sjw talking point but humor has changed there's problematic shit that people would hate today
Yeah, it's shameful. Shit was everywhere and hardly anybody really questioned it in the mainstream.
Edit I even remember kids cartoons indulging in it, I can't imagine how difficult that was for LGBTQ folks already struggling.

He was on the Conan podcast and they were talking about his new stand up special. Conan seemed to really like it but they genuinely sound like real life friends who live near each other and their kids are similar age so I wasn't sure if he was just being nice. Anyone check it out?
His new special is shockingly good. (Not saying it's amazing, just compared to his output for the last, oh, 20 years)
His movies are such shamelessly shit.
How do they still sell gangbusters? His last few theatrically released movies under performed and now he's just chilling on Netflix.
His shitty comedies I remember do really well on Netflix like amazingly well
Schneider is just an ethnic stereotype actor at this point. He just has to check off blackface at this point in his career
Yeah, this film is completely rubbish.
People actually like that shit?
Lol, the hell is this?
They really don't. His last few have been released on Netflix but I think it would be fair to say they are beyond terrible without seeing them.
It was 11 years ago. People forget that certain elements of society weren't anywhere near as progressive 11 years ago.
Whites huh
Guess what? I am brown and I find what they were doing to be racist. Nothing to do with being white.
Why put yourself through the trouble of seeing a Sandler movie? You are better off punching yourself in the nuts.
What I'm saying is he keeps getting funded and his comedies get a lot of traffic on Netflix
