Notes on Zohan

Adam Sandler. Funny. Some redeeming qualities. Some un-redeeming qualities. I liked the idea of an Israeli counter-terrorist who really just wants to come to America and be a hairdresser. But... everyone's dreams are so small. Is that all there is for them?
I really liked the accents. "I'm Haugh-stralian, and... Mount Everest."

I didn't like how sex was portrayed in this movie. It was nearly meaningless - just physical pleasure and an ego boost, nothing more. Just a bonus included with a haircut, with no moral implications. I imagine that it must be more than that.
