You Don't Mess with the Zohan

I can't believe I stayed up late to watch this movie. In fact, I can't believe I watched this movie at all. I don't know, maybe Bill Bryson was right and I don't have a sense of humor, but I probably only laughed four times during this movie. One of those times was when the Phantom cracked eggs into a glass and fuzzy chicks came out.

If you're smart, you don't mess with watching the Zohan.

The Women

Oh. My. Gosh. This movie is just so silly. And not silly in a lovely, wonderful Princess Bride kind of way. Silly in the sort of way that, instead of being titled The Women, should have been named The Rich, Vain, Self-Absorbed Women and Their Petty Problems. It's an understatement to say that this movie was chick lit on film.

I have to wonder if, had I been prepared for the silliness that is this movie, or if I'd been in different company, would I have liked it or found it more funny? I just have the feeling that, given the caliber of the actresses in this movie, it must have been better than I thought it was.

Favorite part of the movie: Parade of shoes montage at the beginning. It's sad when the best part of the movie is in the first five minutes.

I am SO LUCKY I didn't try to force Hud to watch this movie with me. I could never have repaid that debt.
