So... what do you all think? Sandler is reviled around here, but Apatow is loved. What will happen together?

I think this might finally be a return to form to the days of Happy Gilmore.

Uh.....he's got a bitchin' haircut?

FantasticVSDoom 12-16-07 09:28 PM

I love Apatow, but the trailer looked pretty bad...

hardercore 12-16-07 09:56 PM

Does Apatow direct or produce?

Brack 12-16-07 10:01 PM

according to imdb, he's a writer.

Hank Ringworm 12-16-07 10:28 PM

I hate Apatow, but I love haircuts. To get to the point, this looks awful.

MartinBlank 12-16-07 10:34 PM

Saw this trailered before 'I Am Legend', it look awful.

iggystar 12-16-07 11:09 PM

I am a Sandler sucker...I pretty much like everything he's done.

Brack 12-16-07 11:11 PM

^^^ I'm glad you like your mom ;).

fumanstan 12-16-07 11:23 PM

Looks typical and nothing special. But it could be funny. I still like Sandler's recent stuff.

fallfan 12-16-07 11:24 PM

This is also the first screenplay produced that the brilliant Robert Smigel is involved with. His name on it gives me hope.

Layziebones 12-16-07 11:26 PM

Through the whole trailer got the whole "making fun of" vibe. Kind of like it was a mad TV or some Sketch shows Parody ad. I did like the Foot kicking though.

Saw the trailer and I guess it was freakin' hilarious! Never knew Sandler and Apatow had something coming up.

Seems like a funnier SNL sketch than a movie.

starseed1981 12-17-07 01:46 PM

Looks terrible.

Yikes! IMO the only thing worse than SNL these days is the Robert Smigel skits. I'll skip this one...

mmconhea 12-20-07 11:50 AM

looks good.

Charlie Goose 12-20-07 12:26 PM

I laughed several times through the preview. Looks good to me. Certainly a step up from that Chuck & Larry turd.

Seconded.

Wow...what a piece of shit this was. The first 20 minutes were fine and then the film just uses the same jokes OVER AND OVER AND OVER again... then they try to cram a message into the flick and have one of the worst 'Finale' scenes I've ever seen in a movie... really disjointed in a lot of places (Why the fuck is he a limo driver for one night?) and with the exception of a funny Rocky spoof bit, everything that is even remotely funny is in the trailer.

Tired and uninspired from start to finish... The fact that Sandler and Apatow wrote this garbage left me feeling pissed off and sad... I love Sandler flicks but man, this one was brutal.

Coming from a Sandler fan then, that's sad. Now I'm not so sure this is worth my $11.

I would never pay to see this in a theater, but I'll certainly rent it. I chuckled at the trailer, and I like Sandler, so it's at least worth seeing once.

I don't watch Sandler's earlier films much any more, which is unfortunate, as I used to enjoy them a lot. Damn you to hell maturing process!

kstublen 06-06-08 07:17 PM

Doesn't look that good, but I got one of the free tickets that was advertised a week or so ago, so I'm gonna go see it tonight.

Zen Peckinpah 06-06-08 08:50 PM

My cousin and I went to see this today. Within a half-hour, we walked out and into The Strangers. Arguably the worst thing Sandler and Apatow have ever been involved in I've ever seen.

Three-word review: Fuck the Zohan.

Brain Stew 06-06-08 10:40 PM

You Don't See the Zohan

For what it's worth, it does look better than The Love Guru. So, uh, it's got that going for it.
